Sitting at SFO waiting for flight back to Chicago. Really impressed with CAX. I had really been looking forward to the show and it did not disappoint. Reallybis a great show and not sure why it does not get more press, but maybe you guys are trying to keep it under the radar so it does not get too crowded.

Really well run show, excellent selection of pins that were in great shape, clearly not crappy games used to get free admission. So many great titles, not many shows have a Big Bang bar and kingpin. Loved seeing so many of the really old arcade games many I had not seen in years. Brought back a lot of memories.

Venue was quite nice other than having only expensive food choices, but I guess that’ is the price you pay for a nice facility. At least plenty of places to sit.

The best pubic address system of any show I have been to (and I have been to over a half dozen in the last year). Loud and clear Great for attendees to not miss seminars or other events when losing track of time (which is good since although I never saw a published schedule for seminars, just a list of what seminars would be happening). And you have to love a loud reminder to attendees about showering (although despite how loud and clear it was not sure a few guys heard it)

The set up of games in odd “shapes” was different, but did not seem to have a negative impact on flow, but does make me wonder if I missed anything.

Really enjoyed meeting so many new people. Wish I could remember names (would like to see name badges be a lot bigger). I appreciate that so many of you came to our presentation.

Want to thank Don, from Don’s Custom Service for being my host and having two Houdini’s. There was a line to play them from open to close, so seems there was a lot of interest in Houdini’s first appearance at CAX.

I also want to thank he great CAX staff, both before and during the show they did everything they could to make me feel welcome and supported.

Great show!
