My wife and I are going to this for the first time this year, very excited about it. We'll probably be there early Sunday and stay until it's over.

There's some early photos on the Facebook page. The wife and I are likely moving our single day from Sunday to Saturday to get more time in, plus I kinda want to see the David Crane seminar. Stay safe, everyone, see you there on Saturday!

Very nice photo set, NPO. What was that NIB machine? I couldn't quite make it out in the photo. The wife and I will be there starting at door opening today.

EDIT:

Wait, does that say Back to the Future? Awesome.

Didn't stay for the full time, but the wife and I got there just after opening and stayed until about 2. If you saw a guy wandering around in a blue plaid shirt and black T-shirt that was me. I played pin, wandered the arcade cabinet area, played Duck Hunt in the classic console area, got a raffle ticket, etc. Was great. I also went to the David Crane seminar, very interesting to hear some of the more technical aspects of programming games for the Atari 2600 and hear some of the stories from that era. I also bought (since I didn't dig mine out before hand) a 2600 pitfall and had it signed.

My wife and I spotted several pinball machines for sale, but we really need to sort out space before we look into purchasing. We got to play test several different ones, though. Perhaps by next year we'll be more sorted space wise and get our first home pin project, I'd love to take a machine in need of TLC and bring it back to life.

I found a video that I appear in twice, taken during the event today. First at 3:38 you can see my wife and I at the CSI machine. I'm in the blue plaid, she's in the pink jacket. Then, as the guy makes his rounds, I appear yet again at about 5:49 for a second. I was walking up to the table where the Pitfall cartridge and manual was purchased (see my earlier post in this thread, up the page a few posts). Therefore, this video was taken just before 12:00 EST today because I was about to head into the seminar.

That HSII was yours, then? I played it once and my wife played it more than once, heh. We noticed it was for sale, but we lack funds and space. I really wanted to take it home, though. Played great and looks amazing.
