    Quoted from Borygard:

    Well you see, it's this show that people who love what they do, put tons of time and energy into doing the best thing they can do. Organizers and volunteers actually enjoy what they're doing and it shows in the end result, and how they treat their attendees, helpers, vendors, and exhibitors. Then those helpers, vendors, exhibitors, and even attendees do what they can to make the show the best it can be. Amazing stuff!
    You should check it out!

    Heading out in a few minutes to help start laying things out and getting Doc Oct ready for Ken to work his electric voodoo magic. Not looking forward to the back breaking, but definitely looking forward to the friends and the craziness! See you all soon!

    Pretty sure my wife and I talked to you guys briefly right before you played this split flipper game on WrestleMania! I was waiting to play with my daughter and you told us the story about why John Cena is your favorite. Hope you guys had an awesome time...sure looks like it from your pics! That's what makes all the hard work of the weekend worth while. Hope to see you back next year!

    Quoted from metallik:

    Although you say you don't intend on changing it, may I suggest you offer two AP entries to people who bring one machine that is substantially better than average (rare, brand new, expensive or otherwise special). This may allow you to improve overall machine quality by rejecting lesser machines that occupy floor space, and allow single-vehicle travelers a chance at the AP.

    Better than average according to who? As one of only a handful of guys trying to coordinate the insanity that happens during load-in, no way am I going to take responsibility for determining who has the "more deserving" games. :/

    I have to say, I'm getting pretty annoyed at people thinking if they bring a shinier game, they are somehow better than someone who can only bring a "beater". Not every machine needs to be a beauty queen. Some people only can afford a "rough" EM, and you know what...that's OK. I'm not going to tell them sorry...yours just isn't that good. If you decide to bring a "special" machine, it should be because of your desire to share it, not because you expect better treatment.
