Hello Folks,

Nice to meet you all, my nerd friends . Me and my business partner were very well received, my special thanx goes to Rick, who booked us the hotel, John, who was very nice picking us up at the airport, and Jonathan, who accompanied us to Ground Kontrol and back to the airport after the show, despite being very hungry...

Here are the pictures I took:

NWCGE 2007: http://www.magicwebd...wx2usv2BYACTACT

Rick Weis's Amazing Collection
(not his shitty pictures)

Portland: very nice town! Twin-Peaks-style scapes!

Ground Kontrol (classic arcade): RULES!!!
(old arcades + heavy metal + good beer + babes kissing each other = RULES ALL THE WAY!)

So whos the young fellow and whos the old fellow in the pics

[Cassidy Nolen]

Man, I had never seen pics like that of Rick's collection. Yet another reason I should move west. Amazing collection, Rick! Great pics, too!

I think I would pick Air Raid over the pancakes though...

I don't know who Rick Weis is. Is he famous or something?

[TomBrazil]

I am adding a few more pictures here... the lucky new owner of the coolest Atari collection on Earth

Yes you do.. the "Rick Weis" as his username should be a big clue . Heck he's been posting on these forums even longer than I have

Thanks. I just looked at his profile. Still don't recognize him. Maybe it's because he doesn't have an avatar?

You do have an avatar. I looked in the wrong spot. I still don't recognize it. Did you used to have a different avatar?

[RangerG]

Rick didn't let you try on any of his shirts or jackets? - that silver one is great! So - how many AtariAgers could still fit into those clothes .

[Crazy Climber]

Holy Crap!
Awesome collection man, I'm jealous of all the cool Brazil carts you just aquired also.

[Lord Thag]

Rick's collection is amazing. Lots of people have piles of games, but I've never seen anyone with as much Atari related stuff as he has. You really have to see the room to appreciate it. Tom's right though, Rick's pictures suck. Probably because he's allergic to anything remotely resembling a computer (he breaks out in hives), and is quite possibly the last person on earth to be using Web TV, A fact that I tease him about at least three times a day when I'm visiting

Nice pics Tom! I hope you had fun while you were here. It was nice meeting you!

Hey Jonathan,

Not sure if I said to you, but your description of Rick is very nice and precise! lol

I loved going to Portland and NWCGE... you guys are great, specially you, John and Rick!

[wrenchien]

nice haul there as well as pictures.. any idea how much the air raid might be?

[Mayhem]

What a shed load of interesting pirates
