The "Super 8" becomes 7- No MM for DMC

[Dave Mc]

I've very bummed as it looks like I wont make it to the meet this year. First time since there has been a con that I haven't made it. I may have sold much and may not be around but I still love the hobby and was looking forward to going and seeing everyone. But as it happens I have two events to stage and produce back to back June 5th thru June 9th, and it's the kind of thing I can't be replaced doing.

So it looks like the super 8 becomes the sensational 7. I hate that I'm the one to break the 8!

But who knows. If the last event gets done in time, 5pm saturday, I may make the 4 hour drive to WV just to hang out in the Mego Suite Saturday night. I am going to try.

So have a good meet everyone! Wish I could be there to see everyone.

Oh, so you get your own thread to announce you're not going. Can't hang with the rest of us losers, eh?

[palitoy]

Dave deserves his own forum for announcing this, for so many years he was the heart of Mego Meet.

I am so sorry to hear this, you'll be missed my friend.

[sauce]

I've never yet attended and I'm sad.

[megojim]

will miss seeing you sir!

[trekman101]

Sorry to hear this Dave....I always look foward to seeing you

[WannabeMego]

The Meet has evolved into something more then just the Hobby (for me) and a lot of that has to do with Dave.

They'll always be a seat at the coach for you Dave.

Hoping you can make it...safely...on Saturday Night...if not...we'll be thinking about you.

This bums me more than I can express. Still, I hope to see you in the Suite on Saturday night. If not, many drinks will be hoisted in your honor, sir.

[HumanWolfman]

Sorry to here that Dave. Hope you can atleast make for saturday night.

MegoMeet without DaveMc is like Christmas without a Santa.

If you do make it to the MegoSuite on Saturday though, I will officially declare the Super 8 to be intact (assuming everyone else makes it). The Suite is as much a part of the Meet as anything else.

Mutually bummed:-(

This is not good news.

as much as I feel for those who say they can't make it this year - I want to say this about Dave...
I have anxiety a bit more than the usual person.
It was at the level where I wouldn't drive more than 2-3 hrs away from home for stuff.
I was really wanting to make the trip - but never could physically.
2009 - I bought a GPS for my truck and I started bugging Dave via PM about details....and details...and details. I'm sure I was annoying because he probably didn't fully understand my situation because I'm not one to post a bunch of personal stuff (like I am now, so consider it my emotional deposit for the group LOL).

So, even though we don't talk on the phone, have cookouts and chill together on weekends, I thank Dave for helping me change.
470 miles
8hr drive

Now then.
Since everyone is wiping tears from their eyes, please post the pic where you look like the lead singer of Toto

Ah man, if you've never met Dave at the Meet you're missing out. I remember my first MegoMeet, I didn't know anyone, and Dave (among others) made me feel right at home.
Sorry you might not make it Dave, won't be the same without you.

I got to hang out with Bobby Kimball a few years back at a meet and greet after a show. Very nice guy and very talented. I've always liked Toto. I don't usually admit such stuff on a public forum, so I'm coming out of my shell as well.

I'm not much of a traveller either, so you've got me beat by 4 hours. That's about all I can take in a car.
