Long day but a Great day! Hardly any vintage toys at the con. Austex picked up a Robin that we missed. Very crowded with lots of has beens signing autographs. STEAMPUNK is the new black. I grabbed a couple marvel legends and some cool Captain America artwork. Derek & I grabbed some tasty Texas BBQ for lunch and then we hooked up with bill (fire marshall bill) and Scott (gman). We also bumped into Greg (austex) and his family. We then headed back to the Omni and boy Did the trading' commence! Nothing huge but I think we were all happy with what we acquired. Oh and Bil's son in law Jim joined us and he scored some decent stuff as well. Mostly parts and common stuff but it was fun! Derek brought his case of spideys; circle, broken circle, diamond and Peter Parker, very cool to see as a set. He Also brought his Indiana Jones made by Capt Mego. VERY IMPRESSIVE! We finished the day the way it began, by grabbing a bite to eat with bill's family. We found a local Mexican food joint that was awesome! All in all a great time! A pleasure to meet everyone. Bill & I live only 10 minutes way from each other, go to the same church and we had to come to Austin to finally hook up. Aahhh the greatness of Mego! Pics tomorrow . .

I had a great time visiting with y'all in person on fri. Glad to know you had some fun at the con. Funny that Austex bought a Robin at the show. I had 5 or six of them in my car on friday night.

Had a great time with these guys. The con was a bust but at the mini meet got a sheild for Cap. America. And I got a spidy. Wish I would have gottin the tshirt iron on but it's all good. Good food, good fun and a toy show. Always a good day! Thanks alot guys.

[AusTex]

Nice to meet Jim and Derek at the show. Sorry I missed the get together at the hotel. A friend of mine entered the evening costume contest so we had to cheer him on. Took forever though. Some good costumes but lots of bad ones too.

Jim, check your PM's , I have a t- shirt transfer for ya

Just got in from Texas -- total trip: 8 and a half hours I'm a bit punch drunk right now.

The Austin Comic Con was cool with lots to see. No vintage stuff, but lots of cool stuff nonetheless. The "artist alley" was probably the highlight of the Con itself. Getting to see so many great comic artists in one place was neat.

The highlight of the weekend was getting to finally meet guys I've interacted with for 6 years. Megojim and I met several years ago at Megomeet, but it was a first for me to meet Scott, Greg, Bill, Jim, and Archie - ALL SUPER GUYS.

Food was great (Austin has some great eats) but the mego camaraderie was even better.

Megojim: ALWAYS enjoy your company and conversations my brother. See you this summer
Scott: Thanks for the advice for my son on civil engineering. So good to meet you and swap with you - thanks for the pirate!
Bill and Jim: Two cool guys with great families. Tell your wives thanks for letting you drag them to Austin to get your geek on.
Greg: Even though we didn't get to visit for too long, it was great meeting you. My son is a long distance runner and deals with the injuries that come with it. He can relate to the achilles injury. And I'm impressed you were able to find a Mego Robin amongst all the new stuff.
Archie: Wish you could have been there Saturday. Hope your gig went well and you are now rested. And sorry you didn't get to see the Spidey guys. I will be posting pics of them soon...

The pleasure's all on this side of the table, . . . .
