INCREDIBLE!!!

Now I have a much better understanding why these games are so wonderful. Wow, what nice people. Rand is a very warm and gracious person. If you brougth it he would sign it, want a picture with him standing on his head.. sure, bare his soul.. sure, reveal some new information or secrects about the game.. never. I brought my journey cloth and Nonie taped it up at the entrance of the Cyan building. I asked Rand, "Would you please come out front for a picture?" "Sure, let's go." Then he stood there as the hungry masses filled hundreds of megabytes of digital memory with images of Rand starting a new journey.

Others have posted about the events, so I just write about my impressions. I was suprised by the total lack of formality. These people seem to function more like a family than a business. I'm sure they can get down to business when necessary, but there is mutual respect and understanding that you can almost feel.

It was obvious that we (they) are not out of the woods yet, but we get to take the next step. Several people mentioned that a strong increase in the number of people signing up for GameTap under the URU Live site is VERY important. So if you think you might EVER sign up for GameTap... now is the time.

I sat and talked with several other people, Mark DeForest, Tony, Ron Meiners, RAWA, and Grey Dragon, and they were all very interested in what we liked and wanted. And they were all very appreciative of us fans.

Presentations were MUCH better organized this year. Thanks Ran!!! The room was too small, but I hope that no matter where we go, or how much bigger we make the room, I hope it always too small.

I have to run off to breakfast, more later.
