List of guests at CGE 2k5?

[Lady Jaye]

We're a month away from CGE, and still no confirmation of the guests that will be present. When will we know? I can't wait to see the list!!! (I still regret missing out on Woz's presence there...)

Heh, I'm too slow! And don't forget to tip the wait staff!!!

You know, I was just thinking the same thing LJ. Hey hey psychic time :P

I was there and still got bummed...

Basically, at one point he talked about the last Apple ][ in production, but I remember seeing a "educational" laptop computer/toy, by VTech I think but possibly Tiger, that actually had Apple ][ (productivity) software on cartridge, four of them at least (included and fit into the underside of the lid) that came out a few years later than he said. So, after his talk, I wanted to bring this up to him, but in the throng of autograph seekers and his retinue trying to pull him away for something else, I managed to stand next to or very close anyway for like 5-10 minutes without ever being able to get his attention to tell the story.

I should be able to get to it this weekend. Plenty of guests on hand, including some first-time CGE speakers!

Got a jump on it, the site is now updated!

Keep in mind that we get more than half of our confirmations just a week or two prior to the show. There are a tremendous number of local guests in that area (much of the reason for moving the show there last year). We fully anticipate 60+ guests and a dozen keynote speeches on tap for the weekend!

David Crane, baby!!! I smell an autograph on my copy of "A Boy and his Blob"!! W00000

Man, you got Garry Kitchen too? Damn! I'll bring Keystone Kapers and Pressure Cooker, too.

After reading through the rest of the list, sounds like I'll be bringing a lot of games in an attempt to get some autographs...

I think that, for the Activision guys, I'll kill several birds with one stone and bring my copy of Activision Anthology for PS2. Not quite the same as the original games, I know, but close enough...

I'll also have to bring my copy of Once Upon Atari to have it signed by HSW.

And I'll have to say hi to Bob Polaro. I wonder if he remembers me from PhillyClassic 3?

Was good enough for me last year

For what it's worth, this year's early guest list is on display at the CGE web site:

...and I'm already pumped about it. Al Alcorn wasn't present in 2003, so even if he's told everyone else the same old stories, he hasn't told 'em to me.

Also good to see folks like Howard Warshaw, Steve Woita, Ed Rotberg, Keith Robinson & Ed Logg making a showing again. Sure, maybe they're year-to-year fixtures, but it's almost like catching up with old friends!
