Hehe... The illusive me... Cool

Were you there both days? I actually didn't make it to the show at all on Sunday, but I was there most of Saturday, and at the auction Sat night.

And you saw a tiny portion of my collection...

Some of the Vectrex stuff was mine, but most of it belongs to Chris Romero, a friend of mine. It was a good show, I was kind of surprised at myself for not being there on Sunday at all...

Yep, sitting in the front row directly in front of the Vectrex. He even mentioned me at least once. I know him pretty well from various conventions and living very close to him. If you saw the handmade Vectrex and the Color Prototype in the museum, those are in my possession. (They are still his, but he lets me keep them since I can get them to the shows easier than he can since he usually flies.) Great talk too, I'm hoping to get a copy of it on DVD from the guy that was video taping it...

Heh, next year I'll have to bring my scrolling LED name tag... That way everyone can find me. Cool

It makes it pretty obvious when it's scrolling 'WWW.HANDHELDMUSEUM.COM' in bright LED lights...

No Handhelds, just some of the fan-made console carts (Pitcher's Duel for Vectrex, Lasercade for Atari 2600, and another 5200 game...)
