Man, I really wish I could go this year. Just got a new job though, and I'm on a probationary period until February. So unfortunately I can't take any vacation days. Next year for sure though!

I have been swamped with work lately and haven't been around. Late September/early October is where my work gets crazy. However I have put in for the days off for the expo back in August so I am able to go. Down to hang out and nerd it up.

Plans for Saturday:

Quan and I will be at his booth (Arcade Works) around 6 when the vendor hall closes. We will make a plan for food/drinks/etc. We also plan to attend the auction Saturday night like last year, so maybe we will shift to late plans.

Well, saw plenty o brad, goomba, quan, and that chan guy. And a few other peeps from neo. But no loli, bean, or tacoguy... I am disappoint loli, but i called that shit a month and a half back. Too bad I can't predict lotto numbers like dat.

IMO this years show wasn't nearly as good as it had been the 2 years before that I'd gone. Auction sucked (FU chris for bringing that damn supergun to the auction!). Game selection in the free-play arcade wasn't nearly as good as it had been in the past. And the vendor inventory felt smaller and more boring than in the past for the most part.

But hangin out w/the neo peeps was great and that made the show. Fuck the rest of it this year.

I saw bean there. he was a nice dude.

also- lol- for shill bidding (unasked) my charity supergun and having them drop the bid on you. :keke:

Spoiler:
srs though. thanks again. it was a good charity that money is going to. You didn't have to fulfill that bid. I could have still auctioned it elsewhere.

great to finally meat you bud!


also of note- thanks to bradtemple for convincing me to go to a portland titty bar.

Well, I was srsly offended the bidding on your supergun for charity wasn't really happening so that's why I decided to step in and try and help out. I just really didn't expect the bidding to end FUCKIN IMMEDIATELY w/my bid.... :( Oh well, it's only money, right?

And I do wished I'd been able to join today's after dinner activities, but I'd already stayed far later than I shoulda. Was glad I at least stayed for dinner and met yer buddy. Hopefully next year I'll not have dem damn kidney stone issues and have no problem hangin around then. Mebbe if i'd only had food poisoning i'd have hung around... :lolz:

LOL! I hope it was better than the one you talked about Friday night.

On a srs note, it was awesome to see Quan and Bubs again, and awesome to finally meat you, cdamm! Hope your trip back was safe...or full of turbulence because of the pineapple comment at dinner. :keke::lolz:

At the live auction I did end up buying the final pre-production proto supergun from Windy that had been signed by a bunch of youtube gaming personalities (half of which I've no clue who they were, but guess I should check em out sometime).

And yeah, i'll get a pic up of it. Gotta dig out that camera though.
