Well, the CGE2K10 DP After-Party didn't quite go the way we expected. I miss the days when Punkoffgirl and Kevates were making the parties go. Without pointing fingers, I seriously want to make next year's event one that will bring these after-parties back to greatness.

At the very least, the $5 cover charge got everyone these super-cool collectible DP/CGE shot glasses! Many thanks to our partners at CustomInk.com for doing the usual stellar job. And there was plenty of beer and pizza, eventually... oh AND... AND! We had the whole exhibit hall to ourselves, with 30+ arcade machines, couches, and Medieval Mayhem. In the end, it turned out OK.

But next year we need this thought out. Alchohol, snacks, events... I would like 2-4 people to step up in advance as organizers, and we really need to find a sponsor or two - I don't mind kicking in some cash but I'm sure we can do better.

It seems early, but if we don't start thinking about it now, then when?

Your thoughts on this are most welcome!
