Let's make it an unofficial gathering for anyone who wants to come out.  Could be fun!

I'm gonna to make myself conspicuous: I'll be wearing a black Futurama shirt with the "Slurm" logo.  And probably the only guy wearing jean shorts.

Until then, I landed with a terrible headache so I'm going to drug up and sleep it off.

Oh, and I brought some stuff to get autographed.  Obvious targets are obvious ;)

Man, only here a couple days and I'm already getting into trouble.  Scolded for smoking (outside, on a patio, where all the non-smoking signs were posted on a single wall behind me), and flipped off by a trolley operator for taking a picture.  ;)

Oh well, at least I got to explore this, this morning:

This reminds me of the USS Lexington I visited a few years ago. I don't blame you for doing a spot of site seeing and exploration. Looks as though you're having a brill time. :)

Here y'all go.  "a few" photos from today.  Batch upload, mostly unsorted, speakers/presenters, hardware pr0n, etc.  RJ Mical and Dave Needle should have their own comedy tour, those guys are hilarious!  I hope one of the guys who recorded video shares it here.  :)

What?!?!  Kiki was there, and I missed her?!  That's what I get for being behind the videocamera all day.

Thanks! Some great pictures :-) It must have been great to see such a varied selection of Amiga machines and hear those amazing speakers.

You need to hire a sidekick to operate the camera for you.

Had a great time at the 2nd day of Amiga30 today.  So many great moments, but if I had to try to pick one favorite, it would probably be talking with a guy playing Defender of the Crown on CD32 and realizing it was Jim Sachs.  I was kind of starstruck when I realized who it was, I think I said something along the lines of "So you must be really good at this game".  Haha.  :p

Another favorite moment would probably be watching @LoadWB buying up about 400 show t-shirts.  ;)

Afterward made it out to hike in some of those beautiful rolling hills that anyone who's driving around here has seen.  Pics don't do them justice, but I'll throw one on to make folks who didn't come out here jealous.  :)

And here's a link to today's pics:  https://www.flickr.com/photos/oldsmobile_mike/sets/72157656341352156

@eliyahu - feel free to copy these links to your "master post", also.  :)
