Classic Gaming Expo 2002 Pictures - Party

Party

Along with SC3 and NWCGE, we held a party in our hotel suite Friday evening beginning around 9pm. The party lasted well into the night, and I don't think we kicked everyone out of our suite until around 3am. We were still awake at 4am, getting the last of the Thrust Plus and Mental Kombat boxes ready for the show later that morning.

The CGE guys pile into the secondary room so they can also get a laugh at our expense.	Warren Robinett (center) and Steve Woita (right).
It's amazing how much beer, soda and water you can get into a tub.	Finished Thrust Plus carts. They would later be stuffed into the boxes we were building in earlier pictures.
