Bay Area Mini Mego Meet at True Burger In Oakland

[Cmonster]

On another note, I was wondering if you guys wanted to come to my house afterwards and check out my toyroom, or is this just lunch?

Rosie and I need to get back to Sonoma by the evening, so it'll just be a long lunch for us.

Ok, there's a few hundred bucks in my Paypal account, so early in the AM, me and Rosie will start heading North on the 5 fwy. I'm hoping we can make it from Huntington Beach to Oakland by 1:00. Hope to see everyone there.

You all better post some pics!!!

I envy you all. I have had the pleasure to meet up with garagesale (JamesD), txteach (John, Coach), Flynne (Derek), tomztoys2 (Tommy), and Mego Milk (Art). It was an absolute pleasure to shake hands with every one of them and in each instance, there was the feeling of running into someone I already knew, though it was the first time I actually met them.

Enjoy the meet up!!! (And post some damn pics!) Wish I could be there!

This is gonna be great! I think I'll leave the photography to Jess b/c as you all know I don't own a digital camera and MM doesn't like me anyway. But I'll be sure to look cute and smile pretty for all who take pics!

I'll have a camera as well. I need a picture of Hector eating a hamburger... Gonna be my new avatar.

I think I can speak for all in attendance:

WE HAD A GREAT TIME!

It was really wonderful spending time w/ my fellow Mego-heads! You guys are just the best! Thanks to Sandy and Rosie for making the drive, thanks to Scott, Hector for turning out, (and thanks for lunch, Hec! ), and a very special thanks to Anthony, (AJ Collector) for those AWESOME goodie bags! )! It was really fun, but WAAY too short! We'll have to do it again really soon and like hang out and spend the whole day together! I you guys!

D'oh, if it was just a month later, I could have made a stopover on my way to Michigan. I'm glad you guys had a great time.

Cat if you ever swing by the Bay Area please come and visit! If you visit in May my garden is super spectacular.

The burger joint was really small and we actually missed it and had to turn the van around. I was starving by the time lunch came since I only had a handful of mints for breakfast. Hector, ever the gentleman, paid for our lunch. Thank you Hector!! The french fries were awesome, the burgers were fabulous, and my coffee flavoured milkshake was quite satisfying. I wish I had ordered a larger size but then I knew better. Ethan and I split a really delicious bacon burger because I knew he wouldn't be able to finish it. It took awhile to feel satiated but when that sensation hit I was glad I didn't overdo it. I wish we could have hung out longer, or even watched Hunter Prey together. It was such a fantastic time...it just was not long enough. And the goodie bags? WOW is all I can say. Thank you Anthony for such a wonderful and generous surprise. All I can say is that it was such a glorious and wonderful time. I shall treasure the fond memories forever. THank you guys for making it happen.

Here are the photos:

Oh good, Jessica took good pictures. I've got a couple.

I had a great time, it was fun to meet Hector and Jessica at long last, and I'm glad Sandy came all that way because it was fun to meet him and hear his stories. Thanks to Hardygirl for setting this up, it was a success. And geez, the swag bag was crazy cool! Thanks, Anthony!

I brought my stash of Mego cards for the gang to plunder...

That's an all-star line-up of Museum Members!!! Glad you all got to meet up and have a good time!

Hector is beaming in that shot with him and Sandy. You can tell he likes his Supes Prop!!!

Cool toy room, Sharry!

Wish I could have been there with you all!

That's all kinds of awesome.

That Superman belt buckle was super cool, what a generous gift.

Thanks for posting the pics Scott and Jess, (even the not so flattering one of me and Hector discussing the cards!) I had a blast! You guys are the greatest!
