Yearly Armageddon -- Day 1

New convention, new neckties in the rotation...
It's that time of year again... the time where Loquacious and I lose our minds. Luckily, we have a great group of Gophers who are used to it all and help find our brains when we have seemingly lost them.

Gopher-Piranhas attack the store in directed ways, picking only the selected bones clean...
These are folks who volunteer their time and effort to help us move the store at this time of year. They are fantastic folks and a game store couldn't ask for a better core crowd to be blessed with...


Far off shot of our booth...
This was earlier today. Sales have been good and steady, and we had an active Friday afternoon of the convention. Being local, we usually the first dealers here, and this year was no exception. The initial boost we get when the doors open and we are the only dealers currently here is nice... Sort of proves the old quote of early birds getting the worm...

Right now I'm in a side room writing this up while Loq and Hi-Sign run the booth. I'll be rejoining them here soon, but it's kind of awe-inspiring to look out in the main room and see all the Gopher Mafia shirts that are about. It makes me proud to see what we have wrought... =)

Thank you, Gophers... For all your help... all your loyalty... all your friendship... we *could* do this without you, but it would be rather maddening and not *NEARLY* as fun...

La Gopher Nostra... represent...  =P
