After 9 years in Wheeling WV, the Meet has gotten bigger, but the location has not gotten better.
Don't get me wrong - I thought the Hampton Inn was a great improvement over the Super 8, but
I think we need to start trying out the Meet in other cities - ones with an airport!
Most of the attendance to the Meet comes from Museum members travelling hours and hours to
get there. When we inquired about a different location in the past, all we got was everyone
saying it should be in their backyard, so this time I am putting forth the location (in my backyard).
Eternal Con - also known as Long Island Comicon - a fun show with vintage GI Joes and megos
was started on the day before Father's Day and got 3,000 people to attend.
In 2014, it will be a two day show at the end of May. I am looking for MEGO people who
want to set up a special area for a New York Mego Meet.
Frank of Eternal Collector - the organizer of Eternal Con - is willing to give us a devoted space. Since a good number
of us from New York, New Jersey, Conneticut, Maryland, Massascheuts, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island trek to
Wheeling WV - I thought it would be a good idea to try out a location closer to us.
If you're interested, I will look into getting a block of hotels at a decent local hotel for those dates.
I might even be willing to have a dinner at my house on the Saturday night.
