Brian, Justin, and I canceled our plane tickets the Wed as it was hard to justify being 5 days paying $160 a night for a hotel room, $200 a plane ticket, plus food and alcohol for the five days when we only had meetings with AMD and XFX. Many of our good friends at AMD canceled on Tuesday night and they were one of the main reasons we were going to be attending. I was also presenting on the main stage on Friday and that was also canceled the week before Quakecon, so we didn't go this year.

I love it.

It's not food and soda, food and tea, food and Gatorade.... not even food and beer... but "food and alcohol." :D

So in turn i get smaller pics in photobucket. None the less here are some of my 500+ pics and 20+ min of video. Go to link for all of the some that i put out(if that makes since!)
