Those pictures are part of a larger set that will appear with a nice write up in ClassicVGM #3.

This really was an excellent show, and probably the nicest group of people I've ever met. My only regret was not being able to spend more time. Met Al, Batari, Rick Weis, and many others.

Note Al's nice OS X desktop! :) I was trying out my new zoom lens, and it rocks. Got that from at least 15 feet away.

Wow I really wished I hadn't missed it now ( I live in Virginia . . . long drive). Hey Albert, do you think you can send me that background? I have the exact same MacBook!!! Well same shell at least :D .

There's a stuck pixel on the lower-left of the display. :) It's red.

Good Grief that should add to your collection. If you don't mind me asking how much did that set you back?

I forgot, I had actually prepaid for the the AA stuff. There were some pretty good deals in general, and some people I know gave me even better deals. I even got several items for free from some people I know. The last two years have definitely been good for getting deals.

Our shows have some great random stuff Posted Image. This was a banner year for many things, Neo Geo and Atari 2600 for me. We had a couple vendors selling Neo Geo AES carts and one vendor selling MVS carts for a mere $5.

Thank you for posting your pics evg2000, as you were a huge help to us setting up and helping us out in the "line enforcement" department. I am glad you scored some great things.

I cannot wait to see what people score at our show next year!
