The webcast WILL happen.

Though The Plaza has very limited internet access, I've managed to rig a computer to a webcam and cell phone combination and have thus achieved a connection that will provide a photo every 20 seconds from the show floor. This MAY improve since there are tech gurus far beyond my own expertise who may be able to make more of my set-up than I can.

The image will be broadcast live from Vegas and will appear here and on the CGE website, as well as any other sites who are interested in carrying the feed.

I'm pretty excited about this, it's been a "want to do" for awhile now, I'm glad that it's finally going to happen.

Hmm. I hope I'm not misrepresenting this by calling it a "webcast". It's more like "live pictures from the show". No sound or motion, just a steady feed of updated live photos every 20 seconds.

Though as I said before, that MAY improve :)

Let's call it a "Simulcast". It sounds cooler.
