    Default Swap Meet Pics (Ontario)

    There was a swap meet held in Mississauga, Ontario (that's in Canada BTW) today, hosted by TokenGamer, that brought together many DP forum members. Things went really well especially considering it was the first one ever.

    Here's some pics:

    Looks like fun!

    So can you direct us to who the forum members are and in what pics so that we can effectively steal their images for our Member Photos pages? Thanks!

    DP Forum members I know are in the pics...

    Maxlords
    BigHab
    CongoBongo
    TokenGamer
    Chromizone
    Mr-E_MaN

    I know there are more than that but they'll have to identify themselves. It was a great time and the first time I've met many of these members in person. There was probably a total of about 35 people in attendance. I think next time it could easily double. I'm working on captions for the pics but need a little more time.

    Maybe it's an east coast thing! NAVA meetings, NJ Classic and even the annual John Hardie gamers house party feature beer. It really kinda "goes" with video games, doesn't it?

    So we still need to know who's who on the pics. I'm itching to update the member photo pages especially now that I've got a few more from CGE to add in!

    That must have been a kick ass camera to capture my picture from a couple hundred miles away.

    I would have came if I had a car of my own. I don't mind the 8 hour drive. I might see about coming to the next one, but I was not at this one.

    Well, Mr. E-Man, we try not to publicize it much, but everyone who has joined the CCGC has had a small hidden camera installed into their home. When the CGCC T-shirt arrives, there will be a sound feed as well, direct to CCGC headquarters, which is located in our secret underground Deifenbunker.

    You have to remember that the meet occured in Canada.. the place with the government cares more about alcohol and tobacco than guns & terrorism!
    Don't believe me, see what they ask you next time when you cross the border..

    So no beer..
