Albert Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Just got back from PhillyClassic late last night, and responded to maybe two email messages before zonking out cold. Today so far has seen me doing all sorts of chores, unloading the cargo van, returning the van, stopping at the post office and waiting in line forever, dragging most of the boxes from my garage two stores up to my apartment, and so forth. But, I wanted to post two pictures I took at the show. I will hopefully have a full report up this weekend with tons of pictures taken by myself, Joe Grand and Curt Vendel. Until then, these will hopefully tide everyone over. The first picture is a group photo taken on Sunday with over 20 AA members. The second photo is of our booth on Friday before the doors opened. Unfortunately I forgot to take one like this on Saturday or Sunday, after we had the kiosks that Curt Vendel built (the kiosks appear in many other photos, just not the second one here).. I'll leave identification of everyone in the group photo up to the masses. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Bocce balls! That's a heck of a long one BTW so who took the group picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Those photos turned out beautifully. Kudos Albert, and thanks again for all the fun and good times at PC4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted April 2, 2003 Author Share Posted April 2, 2003 Bocce balls! That's a heck of a long one Yep, it's seven 6' tables, plus (well, once they arrived early Saturday) two AtariAge kiosks and a Jaguar kiosk on the end. Took a good chunk of that back wall. BTW so who took the group picture? That particular picture was taken by me using the timer on my camera. I have a few others that were snapped by David Newman once I setup the camera. Those look basically the same, but don't have Dave in the shot. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z28in82 Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Al(s) once again thanks for all you hard work. Alex may not have been able to be there but Albert picked up the slack and on point all weekend. Without you guys this whole thing woulda been impossible. Thanks guys BTW the pics look spectacular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z28in82 Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Just lookin at the pic again and woulda sworn that Cassidy was there when we took them *scratches head* HHMMMM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Player Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Just lookin at the pic again and woulda sworn that Cassidy was there when we took them *scratches head* HHMMMM I agree. I made sure to round up him and Osmeroid. He's standing right next to myself and Osmeroid in one of Chickbaby pictures. There was a delay in taking the picture--we had to wait until the end of the auction. Oh well, still Philly 4 has to be the largest gathering of AA members yet. What a blast!

Albert Posted April 3, 2003 Author Share Posted April 3, 2003 Just lookin at the pic again and woulda sworn that Cassidy was there when we took them *scratches head* HHMMMM Yeah, I'm not sure what happened. Part of the problem is they were holding the auction right in front of the booth (at least that half of the booth), so there was no way we were going to get everyone together until they finished. I'm surprised we were able to get as many together as we did, given most of them were hunted down at the last minute. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Siegler Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 That was just a great time. Hopefully a few of us can meet up again at CGE and reform again at PC5 next year (sorry to jump the gun Dave). Hey Al, why do you look angry in the picture? Is that because you had to stand next to me??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z28in82 Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Well maybe it can be the next 2600 homebrew instead of Where's Waldo, Where's Cassidy?? :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaManFan Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Nice pics, I wish I could've been there. Dude, I clearly remember seeing a tag at the AtariAge booth with your name on it. Apparently there was some wishful thinking going on you might show up, or Albert printed one for each mod out of respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YarsRevengeFan Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 No friggin fair! I was there and I didn't get in that picture! When was it taken? Oh yeah, I was only there Saturday, and spent most of my time playing Battlesphere with Randy and "Numan". No hard feelings! (And actually I think Albert got a shot of us playing BS anyway. Maybe he'll post it!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4 Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Well, I for one had a great time attending my first PC4 convention. My first gaming convention as a matter of fact. Albert was great and it was a pleasure meeting everyone at the show, that goes a little extra for Tempest, we dueled it out each night in a snoring competition. Everyone was incredibly nice, except for that jerk Stan (just kidding) and I can't wait for the next show, I will be reinacting this one until then and probably won't stop bragging on how I managed to drive nearly 24 hours to Philly with Albert, just about non-stop. That really is a great picture, and if you notice Joe Grand just happens to be sporting my buttons on his name badge. Thanks Joe! I can't wait to see everyone again.

SS Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 I'm pretty sure that I met everyone except for the girl that Stan has his arm around and the very attractive girl standing right next to me. Can anyone clue me in to their identities? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted April 4, 2003 Author Share Posted April 4, 2003 No hard feelings! (And actually I think Albert got a shot of us playing BS anyway. Maybe he'll post it!) It's possible, I did take at least one picture of a few people playing BattleSphere, but I wasn't paying attention to who was glued to the controllers at the time. If you guys were monopolozing that setup throughout the show, then you probably are in the photo. I'm hoping to post a large batch of pictures this weekend. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The girl that Stan has his arms around is PunkOffGirl and the other girl is Joe Grand's girlfriend Keely (she's not active on the forums here).. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted April 4, 2003 Author Share Posted April 4, 2003 Are you still mad that you had to stand next to me in the picture? I didn't know I was mad! If I look mad in the photo, it's probably just that I was pretty tired, having gotten little sleep since Wednesday when I left for the show. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numan Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 I wouldn't say monopolizing either because we hadn't started playing until later in the afternoon. YarsRevengeFan was busy before that trumping up business for Alligator People. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
