Or just some random thoughts after spending the weekend.

I think this was the best show I've ever been to.
More games than you could ever want to play.
There was beer. Lots of beer.
There were lines all weekend to play AMH, TBL and MMR.
Congratulations to Spooky Pinball for selling over 20 games.
I love hanging out with Charlie, Kayte and Ben. They had beer.
Lots of artists and designers at the show. They all think I suck. More on that later.
I can pee faster than the water came out of the shower head.
The hall was HUGE, even with over 400 games.
Free beer and snacks from 5:30 to 7:30. Nice touch by the hotel.
I was finally able to put faces to a number of Pinsiders I've not had the chance to meet.
I loved playing Whoa Nellie.
The auction was a joke.
I think this was the best show I've ever been to.
Steve Ritchie has always secretly wanted to be me. I let him experience what it's like for a day.

Pinball designers and artists are no different than you and me.
They like pinball shows.
They like to cuss and swear.
They like to drink beer.
If you give them shit, they give it right back.
I love hearing the stupid shit they did while working on certain games, back in the day.

Steve and Mark Ritchie look like brothers.

Honestly, Rob, I think I was Martin Ayub at the time and just didn't feel like being you. I was feeling more important being Martin. Besides, the whole switching names was getting a little messy. Steve Ritchie came up to me at some point in the evening and said he couldn't take being me anymore and wanted his badge back. I said WTF and I think he said I needed to LIVE BETTER!! By then, I think I was Dennis Nordman and I had no idea where his badge had gone. We did finally get it all worked out.

It was nice to meet you and your wife, Tim. It's vendors like you I love. If I'm a bit bored and need a kick in the nuts, I just came to visit you and things were taken care of.
