Let me know where to make any corrections on the captions of these photos as I mostly copy and pasted the stuff from this thread. I am sure there need to be some adjustments because of walk-ins and cancellations and such. Grab a photo if you are in it and want it for your own use and Buzz feel free to add or link them the gameday site. (My apologies in advance for the amateur photography.)

Thank you Ninjacat, Laurie and I had a great time reprising our roles as Bobby and Jo.
Thanks to my afternoon group for making a great time of an insane adventure run by an evil DM. Maybe I'll find a way to plague future gameday PCs with the reformed Song of Entropy. (I wonder what her 4E stats would look like...![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")
)
Tim, Laurie REALLY enjoyed your game and is trying to pull together some players even now.
Thanks to Games Plus and Buzz!
Mark, thanks for not catching me looking too stupid in my pic this time.
But you still failed to catch the elusive face of Laurie on film.

PKitty, you're the one that got me hooked on Feng Shui, so I hope that someday, I'll see you once again gracing the wonderful place that is Games Plus.
Curt, thanks for once again opening your store to all of us, and for encouraging me to drop lots and lots of money on some minis and the Eberron book. (Buzz, talk to WotC or Curt about your comission for selling the setting to me.)
Buzz, TB, thanks for running outstanding games. Buzz, you definitely sold me on the setting. TB, my sides were sort of sore this morning from laughing yesterday. I'm not sure if guacamole will ever look the same to me after yesterday. I'm not entirely sure why we stopped the ApocKERMIS yesterday--I mean, the dancing imps dug Mo-Do, and Dieter's generally a pretty dance-loving guy.
All my fellow gamedayers, thanks for making the day great as usual!

Ah, time to bask in the afterglow now that I've had time to recover.
First off, my Gameday pics are up on flickr (tagging to come). Combined with the copious photos Mark took and Josh's anthropological study, this may be one of the most heavily-documented Gamedays ever!
Next, numbers: 36 plus Curt and myself, with maybe one or two more walk-ins who did not sign the signup sheet. Same as last Gameday, and about what we average, IIRC. I suspect that the summer Gameday will likely continue to be our biggest.
So...
Thanks once again to Curt and the crew at Games Plus. We are incredibly lucky to have such an awesome venue made available to us each time.
Thanks to all our volunteer GMs for their hard work. Without you, we'd all be sitting around playing Settlers of Catan or something.
Thanks to everyone who came to play. You are what Gameday is all about.
Specific thanks to Jordan (AstroCat), Jason (Trevalon), Wendy (Adareth), Mike (Dobe), and Rob (TB42) for playing in my Eberron game. Extra-double thanks to Rob for printing out those gorgeous color battlemaps; that added a lot to the experience. While I was bummed that a) we had to fast-forward at points, and 2) I ran over (Rob's influence, obviously!), I think everyone had a good time. I know I certainly did.
More thanks to Tim, Laurie, Adam (Cerebral Paladin), and Josh (Pvt. Patterson) for a rollicking game of Hero's Banner. I can honestly say that it was one of the best Gameday events in which I've ever participated. Laurie, in particular, was bringing some serious awesome. And the quote of the day for me was Tim asking Josh, "So, how to you want to poison your mother?"
I definitely want to see this run again.
Kudos, everyone. Thank you for being a part of Gameday!

Wheee...what a weekend!
Another great game day, everyone. Big thanks to Curt for the space and Buzz for the plan.
Buzz, my first trip to the Ebberon setting was a blast (much like the colliding light rails.) Much like every good hero needs theme music, every good investigator needs a warforged tank protector. The beguiler class was pretty cool, too. Another first for me. Maybe next time the Skittle of Doom will be a more effective weapon, too. (BTW, everyone, those new chocolate Skittles are iffy, at best.) Fun adventure, though, and glad we were able to give Victor his comeuppance. I guess that makes us the new best investigators in Sharn. (Poor, poor Sharn.)
Good game, even though you ran five minutes long. (My close proximity must've cramped your style.)
Ah, Ghostbusters. Insanity prevails again! Sure, the plot was derailed, but there was so much laughter in that little room that I can't help but feel the game was a success.
There were so many unbelievable coincidences in this game...it almost seems like you saw the adventure ahead of time! I mean, seriously...dog lifting? Jay Leno? The four frog-riders of the ApoKERMIS meet their ultimate matches? An asian midget who's often mistaken for Jackie Chan? "Hey Newguy" saving the day? And nobody really even noticing?
Great game, guys. I'd like to thank Reidzilla (Reid), sw3333 (Josh), Redwind (Vince), Nev the Deranged (Dave), Jason (Trevalon Moonleirion), and Josh (Ninjacat) for making this game an absolute blast. Without you guys, we surely would have never had:
-Excessive scuba gear wearing
-The Scary Butt Ghost story
-"I'm Wheeing down the pole."
-The Sphincter Spectre (And the accompanying Sphincter Spectre Detector)
-Jay Leno (Perhaps the spookiest coincidence of all)
-Cinderella's "Don't Know What You've Got Until It's Gone"
-Dancing Imps
-The Ecto Enema
-"Your haunted package is shooting blanks."
-Hey Newguy saves the day...and no one really notices.
-Wai Mi uses a ghost trap like a rope dart.
-The Great Belch-off
-So much Guacamole
-Seriously...Jay Leno?
See...there's ample evidence of greatness right there.
Great gameday, everyone. Can't wait until next time!
