Sothy
Jumpman Jr

It was great getting a chance to meet each of you folks and I'm sorry that Arnie and Joyce weren't able to make it but ill-health prevented it. The Chrisi—Kohler and Bieniek—were fantastic at our keynote, nonetheless.
Lessee, I not only met Brett Weiss, I was induced by my lovely wife Laurie to purchase a copy of his book (which, like mine, is very good but, unlike mine, is really expensive—you know how much that binding alone must have cost?).
Also, while it wasn't LITERALLY a first-time meeting, considering that Rawson Stovall was, like, 12 years old the last time I saw him in the 80s, I really was encountering him for the first time. Rawson was legendary in the early days of game journalism as a syndicated 10-year old game reviewer who appeared in quite a few newspapers. His parents always accompanied him to CES in his little suit and tie, but he did his own interviews and coverage.
He's now a producer at EA, btw. But seeing him all grown up and a genuinely Important Person in the game business after all these years was a total trip. He was so quiet and unassuming I hope folks at the show realized what a significant figure he was (as the child star of game journalism) and remains in the history of gaming (how many syndicated game reviewers from the 80s are producing games for a major publisher today?).

I'm uncomfortable giving out addresses, but PM me with your info and I'll forward it on to him.

Rawson was there? Aw, man... I always meant to try to find him and interview him for Slap-Dash, but never got around to it.

Wish I'd been there. I would have at least like to have seen Jeanne in full Princess Peach getup. :-)

So, it was your wife that got you to buy my book? And here I thought the great Bill Kunkel wanted a copy. Seriously, your wife was very sweet, especially since she showed me how to operate my own camera.
