Played 'D&D', as in original D&D with a,shall we say, 'out of it' Dave Arneson. You know, the guy who was there at the beginning?
For ferretguy,Judd played as well.

2:I met Brom, my #1 fave artist (I'll be posting a pick of he and I doing the 'metal devils horns' when my friend Robin develops them, so you guys besides ferretguy can see my ugly mug.Brom was humble and really very cool.
3:Um..some stuff that I can't mention on here, ahem..., ferretguy, I'll tell you in person
4
layed Warhammer Fantasy RP (my other fave RPG) and I FINALLY got to sell my soul to Tzeentch, Changer of the Ways..right before a Slaneeshi Cultist eviscerated me...still, it was fun.
5: Found some good mexican food (ate there 2 times sat and today as I was heading out of town...Mmm...tamales).
6: Played Warmachine, a very cool minis game.
7:Got to see William Shattner,Virginia Hey (Zahn from farscape and 'the road-warrior-chick',and the 3 amigos from Battlestar Galactica (Dirk Benadict,Richard Hatch and the Boomer guy, forget his name).
8:Impersonated a Bacardi Rep and got many folks to drink at 5am (there are pics...with us taking their IDs as well,they were all 21+...
9layed a new game 'Hall Bowling' with this frickin huge D20 that the RPGA gave away with membership,I mean...some other butt was playing it and I observed him at 5am...
10:A Cheerleader Convention was taking place in the same Convention Center...
Low Points
1::I forgot my bag of Game Books...in the rush to get on the road.
2: Didn't find the good food until Sat, bad sandwiches and pizza before that (Ugh...)
3:No Confrontation games...
4:As usual at these things, everything was selling for retail (you think you'd get a discount for paying 55 bucks to sit around frthe weekend).
5: Dave Arneson's 'Back in the Old Days' stories...they really were worth the game (which was rather like the games you played when you were 12...).
6:That kid who ruined Boba Fett was there...I didn't bite his nose off, regardless of what he did to my childhood hero.
7:Except for Brom and Shattner, the autographs were all 20 bones each...ugh.
This was described on the website as a noiminal fee...
8:There were 1200 people in an area the size of a massive sports stadium...someone is losing their job in the PR/advert departments...
The individual events were all $, from 1.50 to 5 bucks. After the entrance fee, that sort of blowed, you know?
9:Couldn't check Enworld...
10:That Cheerleader Convention (takes a MOMENT to wipe away the tears), was starting right as we were leaving. We were slated to stay another day, see the beach, drive up Hgy 1/the Coast, but one of our guy's wives became really ill, and he wouldn't let up until he was on the way home.
Dammit, we missed the cheerleader convention...

Glad you had a good time mate. I am sure Ferretguy will tell me more stuff when I see him tonight.
