When I first got there, first impression was that G-Force was Gannon and that Gannon was G-Force.

I remembered I had some crap I bought to trade on the way home, and next year I will have a portable made, and hopefully a kickass beard like Jones.

You are such a fanboy.
ZOMG Spongebuell or gannon (I think? wasnt paying attention I was in amazement) said the EXACT same thing!!!
That would be me, sir!



Last pictures from me, at least for this year... (well, the last of those with people)

Image
Back, left to right: G-force, me, Triton
On bed: gannon
Hey, we're geeks. We're not supposed to be photogenic or anything :)

Image
Here we have CronoTriggerFan on the left, Ben "I don't do non-posed photos" Heckendorn to the right of him, some random kid playing on the arcade that just wound up in the picture, gannon in the brown shirt, and G-force all the way on the right.

Image
General photo of the event. This is the larger room, where they had all of the vendors and most of the arcades/pinballs. In another, smaller room they had an area for the speakers, as well as the museum and tournament areas.

Image
In this one, we have from left to right: Letitia (Jones' wife), followed by gannon's head, followed by Dale (a friend of Ben's) playing one of his games of pinball.

Image
From front to back, those sitting: Dale, Letitia, random woman that's just in the picture (I never met her, at least... I don't think she knew any of us), Ben, and Jones watching from behind.

Image
Saw this after leaving the gas station in Concord, WI after dropping Gannon and G-force off at the bus stations.

Sponge-

Yep, that's my wife. Her name is Letitia though. :) Not an easy one to remember by any means. In fact she may not have even been introduced! :lol: Come to think of it she would probably prefer having Mary for a name... :?

Nice job on the pics and it was great meeting all of you guys. Hopefully I can make it for both days next time (damn weddings!), because it was a blast. It's not every day that I get to hang out with people who are as into video games as I am. :D

Plus, I got to check out Triton's Gamecube portable. Lookin' great so far!
