Yeh, if you could post a link to the full res pics it would be great. I didn't get a chance to snap any photos and these are excellent. Next time I'll recognize everyone too!

Oh, there were a ton of women at Gencon. A lot of them where dressed up in rather interesting outfits. I especially enjoyed the schoolgirls and the barbarian women...

Now that sounds like a Kodak moment

Al, thank you for posting all those pics and it is great to see all the really nice people that I purchased so many items from. Too bad BClarkie wasn't there or Guido, but I plan on being there next year, as I am almost done with collecting for now.

Take Care,

Let me first say my apologies to Mike first. Once I saw the photo I just couldn't resist <mike fails save on will power to resist>.

You can pay me back later :wink:

I love the fact that Gary has a Crown Royal Dice bag in front of him...ah the memories...now where did I put the 3 that I have :scratch:

Thanks for the pictures, Al! It's the next best thing to being there. One question: where's your jester's headgear? Did they confiscate it at Customs?

Yeh, but I have to get a new video card for my computer first...this one is fried, anytime I try to load some hi resolution pictures it will shut off the monitor. As soon as I get tht bought and installed I'll have some pics up.

improvstone,

Another fantastic picture. I'm going to half to take some painkillers for my stomach muscles. Just to much laughing.

I took a few pictures as well. Nothing quite as entertaining as Mike and the shrew though.

Here is everyone's favorite auction dude:

Rob and Allan:

A really blurry one of Gary:

Al, James Mishler, and Badmike:

The hell that was 10 am Friday:

Lines for registration and badges:

Card art:

Some random guy taking a nap (saw a lot of that going on):

Al versus Gleemax:

Martin, Mike, and The Brain:

And last, but not least...Tonya sans chainmail:

If you look closely you can see Al and Mike in the background grousing about the the nutty prices. Course they were still ten times better than Troll and Toad's. :roll:
