Mego-Eat 2013 was yesterday.

Something really cool happen in the PNW yesterday. A great bunch of Mego fans found a family. As predicted, the money flowed toward the establishment, far more than between the guests. Unless I'm wrong, this was more about PNW collector/dealer/customizer getting a chance to meet each other. Although I really believe that future Mego-Eats should be more of an event with admission and table costs. I am so happy that the first one was a party. The over-whelming generousity was beyond my hopes and expectations. Mike gave a party, to be remembered.
Aside from dr_cyclops behavior, the guests could not have been more respectful.

I like the idea of making this a customizer emphasized showcase gathering in the future... with a definite bonus aspect of trading and selling goods, vintage and new. I know somewhat personally the people who run the vintage toy shows in PDX and I don't want to encroach on their vintage sales only thing. I know a bigger space three blocks south of where we were dining if we wanna break this open wide and do (nominal) admission to cover costs and open it to public and vintage toy pickers and buyers I know. Call me crazy...August on a Sunday? Every August and February, twice a year?

Count me in. I had some unexpected expenses in the last week or two before the event so I was not able to get everything I had hoped for. But, at least I got to see a lot of things I hadn't before. That is always a plus. I would be in for another get together. Same size, larger, whatever. I'm down.
