I went this year! It was shockingly fun. I felt like the little Bee girl in the Blind Melon video....
Since I live in Sacramento I decided to just show up randomly and try to get in for the banquet. I brought an accomplice who accredits herself with having the ability to get into "any show". Lucky for us no ulterior tactics were required! Just paid and went right in. SWEET!
I met lots of fun people including a coworker at the major CPU manufacturer who I’m not aloud to mention online.

That was neat.
I have also been entirely obsessed with my Amiga 2000 ever since the show. I’ve got the thing up and going with a Buddha/Catweasel gen 0.0000001 card. Works great!
I also built up an HP5700 Thin Client with a power-on Amiga build. Just flip on the power switch, and it boots up Amiga Forever from the hard drive. Pretty nifty!
wait.. is this my first post? Hi! I'm Rik.
