Whats the head count so far? My wife found out the Wonka kids are gonna be there, so she's in!

[Megospidey]

Getting closer....I will be there....bringing lots of stuff with me....

[megojim]

I'm getting ready as well . . . . Re; Goody bags, no luck in getting a reply from Doc Mego or the guys from Castaway, I can understand Paul as he was busy getting ready for NYCC but can't understand why dave or jason haven't replied. . . . I'm hoping to roll the dice and order from paul hoping he kick in some extras . . . .

^ We don't have to do one Jim if you're not receiving any cooperation. I certainly won't mind. It would be nice, but it won't make or break my trip either way.

[megojim]

I was just trying to get a little discount . . no big deal . . . I was checking out CTVT's site and may go that way, other than bodies. Either way I'll get it done

Texas Mego Meet? I'm in!

Seriously. As above.

[mightyquinn]

When and where is the meet and greet?

[rche]

I believe we were discussing a dinner meet on Friday along with some activities at a hotel on Sat. Not sure about the Saturday items tho, as I am thinking some folks are wanting to go to the con, and some folks had also indicated some interest in hitting some shops.

It might be good to get a somewhat flexible itinerary going.

[Megospidey]

Here is what MegoJim came up with:

here's a potential agenda to consider . . .

Friday -
early arrivers hit a couple toy shops
meet up for dinner hang out (early bird trading )
Saturday -
grab breakfast
head to the comic-con
swap meet / customs discussions (bring yours)
dinner that night, maybe a club then hang out
Sunday -
head home


Looks like Jim and I will be getting in around dinner time on Friday. Maybe we could all meet in the foyer of the Omni Hotel at around 7pm or so? Go eat and then meet back in one of the rooms of the Omni?

It's looking like the wife and i will be heading up very early Saturday morning and making a long day of it. She wasn't going to go until she found out Kevin Sorbo was going to be at the Con . Will probably head home late Saturday night after the mini-meet activities. Looking forward to it .

We'll try and meet up with everyone for breakfast (Saturday) before heading to the Con. When a decision has been made on what time and where, please post up.

[mightyquinn]

Just booked a room at the Mariott by the university. We will be heading up Friday morning and will be meeting up with you guys at the Omni at 7pm. Anyone hitting any shops before then on Friday?

[megojim]

no turning back now . . . all items for the goody bags have been ordered. Had to get most of the parts (except for the bodies) from CTVT as I never heard back from the others. I think everyone will be please and I mixed it up enough that hope fully it will stimulate some trading of items.

^^^ Great!!!
Now I plan on coming up for Sat only and I plan on bringing my kids.... so when and where would the swap meet take place after the con?

[mightyquinn]

Anyone bringing any comics to swap? I may bring a box along with some extra toys and playsets.
