Mego Meet 2015 Announced

[VintageMike]

Funny thing is my biggest worry wasn't the location, it was the date being moved. I've had a long standing tradition at my job about the first two weeks in June being left clear. I had also gone so far as to make sure we did have an inventory in May,so June wouldn't be touched at all. We recently merged with another company and the new physical inventory schedule was released. With no info on MM at the time, my heart sank when I saw June 26th. What if? Thankfully I don't have think about that now! I've both flown to Chicago and driven close to there from NJ. Driving wise it's fine as long you split the trip up into two days coming and going. Flying might be an option, but I have a feeling there will be more "big ticket" vintage items available and if there's a chance I'll be coming home with something like I need to make sure I can carry something onto the plane big enough to accommodate my purchase or purchases as the case may be. I basically have some research to do, but whether by car or plane I'll be there.

Sounds awesome ... I'm in on the Canadian car pool to Buffalo if you'll have me. Promise not to hog the front seat this time or leave Playboys in the visor

Having driven to Chicago numerous times in the past, I'm getting on a damn plane in Buffalo.

I've done it a dozen times, it's like a 45 minute trip and not expensive. I spent more in gas to Wheeling and back.

this potentially means we can keep up our Buffalo Brew Pub/flea market/hot dog tradition going, but I say we jettison that to hang out longer in Chicago and create some new traditions. Aw Yeah Deep Dish Pizza!

You really are out of excuses this year Chris, the Buffalo airport is practically on your front doorstep.

Although to be fair to Chris, we should finally get those Nexus passes to bypass the border line-ups.

Well needless to say this is great news for this Southside Chicago guy.
As others have mentioned there's alot to do in the area so if anyone needs suggestions or help with anything I'd be happy to help. Now just as long as I am not touring/traveling with the band at that time it'll be perfect for me!

Hmmm, will this be a plane trip or road trip for my Canadian crew?

5 hours more for the Bronx Contingent to drive, checking flight and train options so far looks like flying met be best option...

[cjefferys]

Neat! I just can't miss yet another meet, so this will finally be the one I go to. Hmmm, will this be a plane trip or road trip for my Canadian crew?

Looks like the same drive time for me. I'm in if I can swing it.

Considering this hotel is literally 5 miles from my house, I think I may have to pop my Mego Meet cherry in 2015. Born and raised in neighboring Glenview, drop me a PM if you need any suggestions for restaurants or activities in the area.

[sprytel]

"Aw yeah" indeed.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Lots of great stuff for families to do (as stated). I've been meaning to take the fam there, so this may be the year!

Yay!! Missed 2014 because my car was ready for the junkyard and flying options were dismal. I think Chicago will be way easier to get to... for me anyway.

[vulcan2074]

Super awesome!!!!

Great news! Chicago will be so much easier to fly into.

This was a huge reason for the change.
