Mego Meet 2012

[samurainoir]

Only one more sleep until Mego Meet! I's just gots me a big ol' pile o' yo Yanquee Dollahs out of Le Banque, dusted off me passport, and gathered my car-snacks.

Looking forward to seeing all my Mego Pals. Friendship is Magic.

Drive safe early birds!

Ok. My wife corrected me. It's only 13 hours. We are leaving home within the hour. I am very much looking forward to meeting everyone!

This is torture! I don't know why I'm reading posts of people gearing up for mego meet when I will be 3000 miles away. I feel like the destitute child at the orphanage window watching all the families gather around the xmas tree in the town hall. boo-hoo.. some day...

[Toyman_Chris]

I am bringing quite a few boxes of items that I have not really sorted through or tried to sell. Stuff I have kinda been saving since I decided I was going to attend Mego Meet. I am thinking I am going to be taking offers (cash & trade). I am really hoping people will enjoy the idea of "digging" through.

Not a chance.

Just follow any of the heavy set balding middle aged dudes to the end of the hall on the first floor where the Mego suite is (a hotel room dedicated to hanging out in).

Some of us are bald on purpose

I'll be bringing my 9 year old son for the first time, and the wife for the third time. Not sure how much hanging out in the suite time I'll get, but I'll atleast stop in once. Any plans to continue the races out on the sidewalk? I know my boy would love that!

As soon as someone decides to organize one.

Last year was my first time. My wife and 2 year old accompanied me. EVERYBODY was very cool and friendly!

There are no invitations for the Suite. You simply need to show up and introduce yourself. It usually starts about an hour after we return from Hoss's on Thursday night and an hour or so after the Meet closes Fri and Sat. It runs until the wee morning hours. It is very informal. (You must wear clothing.) Wives and siblings are welcome. Realize we may get out of hand and may not censor ourselves sometimes. You can bring your own drinks and snacks. We usually have some stuff available. The fridge is open use and on the honor system. I'll also make my fridge available for overflow which is next door in the adjoining room.

Anyone going to the show for the first time need not worry... Just follow any of the heavy set balding middle aged dudes to the end of the hall on the first floor where the Mego suite is (a hotel room dedicated to hanging out in). There are usually guys hanging around just outside the door on the end as well having a smoke or a beer or both.

Other clues that folks might be there for mego meet.. Superhero t-shirts. Conversations centering around vintage toys. Honestly not hard to miss those there for Mego Meet, and no need to be shy.

This is only my third show and everyone is wonderfully welcoming in my experience.
