8-Bit Gathering 2005
The second major 8Bit Gathering was held in Tennessee, with stops in Missouri and Kansas City. If you didn't come to this one you better show up at the next one, or ELSE. -Luigi

The angry Wal-Mart manager who said "you can't take photos in here!" took this picture. .. And this one. Zran and I discovered a package of huggies at a K-mart, and are simply amazed.

The sign telling me I had arrived in my destination city (which turned out to be the wrong city.) Mecha-Koopa in the flesh, who refused to do a wild dance of the lobsters in front of customers. Cim works on her super puzzle on the CimPuter. On the paper you can see her handwritten puzzle designs, probably drawn while she was in class.
