Wow, MGC was nuts. Great job, guys! I haven't seen mentioned, Dan announced at the after party that Saturday's gate was over 4500 people, more than both days last year!
I finally brought a game this year, one of the three Tommys. Even with three of them, there was almost always someone playing mine (the one by the door). Not one hiccup, either; Eric S. did a great job on it before selling it to me a while back.
I like the idea of switching the vendor hall with the arcade hall, though I doubt it would fly with the powers that be. But I bet some vendors wouldn't mind being in one of the converted hotel rooms. I would personally consider having a room to show off my handheld electronic game collection, museum fashion, and have some for sale. But I'd have to pay someone to babysit it, I'm not about to spend all weekend in there!
