Been meaning to post this all week, but got tied up in stupid debates on here.

If anyone else is going, I'll be wearing a faded yellow t-shirt that says "Rec Center Dodge Ball."

This event was a blast!  We were lucky enough to get a ton of face time with Billy Mitchell, Steve Sanders, Tim McVey, Greg Laue, and Walter Day.  They were all extremely enthusiastic and excited to just BS about games.  We got to talk to Steve at length about King of Kong and I actually got pictures of Billy playing some DK.  Talked with Tim about his Nibbler run earlier this year.  Sounds like he's going to be making another run at it over Labor Day weekend and they will be broadcasting it again.  Can't wait!

Icing on the cake was just about we when we were going to leave to make the 2 hour drive back home, I was lucky enough to over hear that Trickman Terry and Ken "Sushi-X" Williams of EGM fame were at the event.  I wouldn't have recognized these guys but I grew up reading their work in EGM. We ended up hob knobbing with them for another hour about the original Street Fighter.  A great time indeed.
