Holy cow, that WAS 6 years ago already! That was a cool show, I'd love to see it happen again. It was great to be able to stand right next to stuff as it was starting up.

Here's a few out of the bunch that I took. I really need a scanner...

I'd love to see them do the show again too. Someone told me they are thinking about doing it again in the next few years. I guess we'll see.
