Mego Meet 2018 Recap
So after taking an extra day of vacation and stopping at King's Island on the way home Sunday I'm finally home and back in the daily routine. Work, cutting grass and all that fun stuff.
I'm now able to process the week and weekend. Like every Mego Meet it flies by way too fast. But I did want to say a couple of things.
The New Venue: A+++ thanks to the efforts of Mr. Steve Moore. There are always hiccups being in a new place and while the hotel didn't do Steve any favors sometimes it seems nothing was so bad it couldn't be dealt with. I'm sure there were things behind the scenes but Steve never let it show. He always had a smile. Thank you sir for your efforts pulling this together.
The Dealers Room: I won't lie, I love the dealers room. Always full of Mego (and vintage) goodness. But having us all in one room was just awesome. No running from room to room looking for people, you just had to look up. I didn't feel as if I was missing anything. And there was some serious Mego swag this year.
The Customs Hall of Fame dinner and awards: Fantastic. Well done Austin, well done. I don't think it could have gone any better and I look forward to it next year. Seeing Charlee and Scott M was just great. The three of us have come a long way since our days at the old FX Show.
Darklord's Gotham City: Dude, there are no adjectives left to describe your display and passion for your work. Words continue to fail us all every time you show us something new. And I am humbled to have played any small roll in it. But next year, just bring the figures, the search light & the Batmobile and save yourself so much stress!
The Exclusives Display: Thanks again to everyone who brought something to display. It couldn't have happeded otherwise. It's also nice to know I could have still sold some of them, lol.
New Friends: You are what keeps the Mego Meet fresh and exciting. Your enthusiasm if just infectious.
And Finally Old Friends: What can I say. Seeing all of you (and you know who you are) is the REAL reason I love Mego Meet and make the drive every year. We don't see each other for a year but the second we are together in the hotel lobby it's as if we just spoke in person the day before. There is no place like the Mego Suite, weither a room or just the lobby. And thank you for making my wife feel so welcome. I love you all dearly.
Final Notes: As I said earlier it always goes by so fast. I know on FB others have said they would love to see it go to a 3 day show (Thurs, Fri, Sat since most travel on Sunday). I am 100% for it and would gladly burn another vacation day. I did miss some dealers who set up on Saturday with everything that was going on with the HOF dinner, Marty and the customs auction. Maybe it will happen down the road after we get settled in our new home. But for now I treasure the memories created over the past week with all of you and can't wait to see you all again next June.
