Mego Meet 2015 Announced

[EMCE Hammer]

We're on a year-to-year schedule. I expect a registration link from the hotel any day, and I will post it pronto.

Is Skokie the permanent home for the forseeable future? I will definitely not be there this year, but might endeavor to make it at some future date. Meanwhile, I will continue to trade and sell right here at the forums, and may eventually open my own Mego Mall store.

I'll touch base with Steve, he's been kind of slammed.

I said we might not go because of the distance, but Lily has informed me that we will be going.

Good to hear Tom. Yeah, Sunday is always the long day drive for me as well at 14 hrs. But it is so worth it.

[Bronxboykev]

It's rough but it can be done... We did it a few years back but we had 4 drivers... We left at midnight and hit the Windy City around 2 the next afternoon and that was with a couple of half hour stops and a flat on the Pennsylvania tpk waiting for roadside service. That looks to be our best option as well, but this time we will have 2 drivers maybe 3 depending how far along the Mrs. Is with her driving lessons lol

It won't be the same without you and your brother. I hope you can pull it off. After all, who will take most of my money?

[WannabeMego]

...this adds a considerable amount of additional hours to an already long commute, double the distance and the time...and flying is not an option. I know there are a few folks who have traveled as long, if not longer, and I commend them but, I am not sure if Berto or I will be able to attend.

I will try my very best to make it happen, but as of right now, it does not look good.

Family has been ill since X-Mas...but...

Over the Holiday I got a chance to talk to Berto in detail about our options to attend MegoMeet '15 and it basically boils down to this...

Our only option is to drive...and I can't pad any more days to the trip, so that means I will have to do the drive in one day going (Thursday?) and one day coming back (Sunday). One-way without stops or traffic is around 13-14 hrs from Berto's Home.

I know I'm gonna be a wreck that Thursday and most of Friday...but IF I can get those days off from work (which is a BIG IF still), we will make it.

Correct Bill - I am just waiting on the registration link from the hotel. Our rate is $129 for a double.

Thanks, Steve. I'll keep an eye out for the link.

To confirm, it is the Doubletree called the "NORTH SHORE CONFERENCE CENTER" at 9599 Skokie Blvd, yes? What is the Mego rate and how do we get it?

We've worked a deal on room rates, they match the Hampton Inn from this year.

...I just did the math, and realized this is probably going to conflict with Star Wars Day as well as the WWII trolley museum event, both typically held on D-Day anniversary weekend. If I recall correctly, there's also a Klingon event that I can never attend because of those other two events. Too many hobbies...
