I'm sooo tired. My wife gave me the greenlight to extend the hours until 2AM which was cool

That wasn't what wiped me out... The $@&%-ing neighbors across the street had their obnoxiously loud party going until 6AM! grrr
Here are a few pix I managed to snap early on. I wish I had remembered to take more, mebbe someone else managed to do so.
Had a blast hanging with everyone. Glad Vectorinvadr managed to somehow monster up after his workshift and cruise over. Was very cool getting interviewed, even though I know I prolly end up getting transposed to be background filler for Paul Dean's interview, heh.
Was fascinating watching and listening EndofLine interview Paul... followed up by Paul providing a Frenzy tutorial for the camera.. That was epic. However I was most impressed by Paul's Frontline skills, which he had claimed to be "modest". He managed to make that slow bowlegged soldier look like a US Navy Seal! Paul is a 1 man killing machine and posted a score of 18,500 or something like that. I couldn't keep up. Its really too bad Kalan couldn't stay long enough to play a round of Frontline with Paul.
Thanks to Alpha-tron for bringing several pieces of NOS cinematronics artwork to let us see it. Seeing 30 year old rare arcade artwork as its being unrolled in person was pretty amazing
Thanks to Stuffmonger for tying up some loose arcade ends for me, again
Was awesome seeing DewmanSNK's geometrically improving Zeke's Peak skills... He made it thru 3 loops of the game and made it look easy! (which we all know, its not)
Another highlight of the evening for me was watching PacAnt play thru some games of Afterburner Deluxe... That was awesome
I'm kind of afraid to power up QBert for fear of seeing whether EndofLine's monster high score was saved or cleared. I heard he made it to world 7-2, wish I could have witnessed it
We'll have to do this again soon! Thinking early to mid August!
