Mego North

[samurainoir]

Marty, given that you are exhibiting with us, short of some kind of spontaneous combustion of all these cards, I guarantee that you'll be able to get a set.

Speaking of exhibitors, so far we have Dana/Fitski and his brother, Marty/Ubermanx, Chris/cjefferys, Brian/palitoy and myself confirmed for table space within the Mego North section of the Burlington Toycon.

I'm hoping Haggis will be able to join us, and MonsterMatt of course.

If anyone else is interested, let us know and we'll put you in touch with the con organizers.
Tables are $60.

Once we get into January, we'll starting doing RSVP's for dinner at Mother Tucker's after the show.

But I gotta admit, my favorite is Parkdale Meet.

You know, I would love to figure out a way to honor Morris Kotzer somehow (the owner of Parkdale Novelty). I can't figure out how we'd pull it off logistically, particularly since he is probably pushing 90(?) or beyond these days.

a few years ago, Brian, Chris and I had the pleasure of chatting with him and his wife when they spontaneously showed up at a local toyshow.

I'll sweeten the pot... if anyone can come up with a better name than "Mego North" or at least makes me laugh out loud trying, I'll send 'em the new Mego Meetpostcard and a bunch of cards, including from the new Batman and co reprints.

The Great White Meet
An All-Star Celebrity Salute To Pierre Elliott Trudeau
The Hilarious House of Megostein
Excuse My Pin Pin (dug deep for that Franco-Canadian reference)
Emmanuelle Chriqui (no real connection to Mego, but always worth a mention when discussing things Canadian)
Maple Meet
Mego North: From Kingston to Can-Con
Poutine

OK, none are really as good as Parkdale Meet, but I did hope did a snicker out of you

"The Hilarious House of Megostein"

I really did LOL when I read this.

I smell....T-shirt!


I'm sticking with my answer "Parkdale Meet". It's geeky and obscure enough where a small minority will get it and think "Oh, clever." (or not...) and a majority of people will think "What the hell meaningless nonsense is Jefferys rambling on about now??"

[Fitski]

that's a cool logo, almost CBC-ish

Are folks interested in a T-shirt? If so, I'm sure we can order some based on requests.

Royal Canadian Mego Meet

How about Royal Canadian Mego Peeps (RCMP)?

[Red Hulk]

Sounds like fun.

[palitoy]

Sounds like fun.

It is fun, I normally dread setting up at shows, they can get lonely. However, it seems everytime we set up at these we meet more and more Museum folks and the day just flies right by.....

[cjefferys]

Oh yeah, if I had to wake up at 6am on a cold winter Sunday morning to go set up at a show an hour or two away by myself, I'd probably pass. But what we got going on now, I really look forward to every time.

I'm down for a shirt if they're made.

having done so many shows the past few months without you guys, Burlington never feels like a chore. The day just flies compared to others where I'm solo and it starts to drag after lunch.

You should try it hungover and under a skylight, there's a day I'll never forget.

That's the day you'd want that Dr Who guy and his kids showing up at your table.
