I'm in San Jose for the Classic Gaming Expo
« on: August 21, 2004, 12:41:14 am »
We're in the Hilton hotel tonight and the Marriot tomorrow night.  Anyone else coming????

I saw another dork outside ...he had a "know your mushrooms" T on.  I love being able to spot my own kind by their clothing.  :D

My Girlfriend wouldn't let me go talk to them.  She said we can meet geeks tomorrow.  Oh well, at least we got to come out here.

No one else is going?  I'm going to wear my BYAOC T-Shirt tomorrow...and of course my BYOAC Hat LIVES on my head.  So I'll be easy to spot.  

Bye from SJ!

so, the doors are opening in 2 hours and 10 minutes; however, i don't think i'll be breaking down the door because i am still a bit tipsy from a night out with the boys ;). if i do go today, it will be in the afternoon until closing, but i also haven't decided which date to attend.
i mainly want access to all the various CPs/cabs/controls so that i can be sure of my plans for the cab i am starting. + i would really like to meet some locals that may have some good deals on parts i am considering.

being that it is in san jose, i'm sure that the place is also a hot spot, so if possible, i'll post in this thread when i arrive. i would also be AIMable: andr3wonawall. i don't have a BYOAC shirt yet, but i'll be looking for them. maybe i'll wear a home-made t-shirt that reads: COLLEGE STUDENT DESPERATELY IN NEED OF INEXPENSIVE GUTTED CAB

gozur: any reason for exclusively attending on Sunday?

I'll be there today with my three-year-old son.  Look for the guy in the Mickey Mouse shirt.

The San Jose Mercury News had a picture of my three-year-old playing Crystal Castles that was featured in the article covering the Expo in today's paper.   :)

awww crap!  I didn't check back with this post!  I didn't see anyone with a BYOAC anything on!

I say next year we go and set up a booth with the BYOAC book.  There's definatly a market.  and this would have been a great place to showcase it.  The Arcade PC people were there as well as the XArcade.  

That's just my idea.  :)

c'mon saint!
