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.

The coolest thing I got at AmiWest was the outside box cover to the PicassoII. Which is kinda ironic because I had just accquired a PicassoIV before the show and was going to put the PII away after the transplant. The box cover was the last of the PII items I had been piecing together over the years. First I got the card for like $50. Then a month later, the cable and original software. $10. Quite a few months later, the manuals for the PII, Main Actor, TVPaint jr. and the box. Free. All from different sources. Well, now that the PIV transplant has been done, the PicassoII is wrapped, and boxed with all it's components, tucked up on the self for safe keeping. :-D

Don't even ask me why i was playing R-Type in the car on the way home with a 19" LCD and keyboard and mouse hooked up in the car.... That is just crazy!  :lol:
