GAMA Trade Show Wrap-up

“That plan lacks the quiet dignity of the Cheese Sombrero.”

“I have this guy who lives in my basement who drives a Zamboni.”

“Toronto in the Hizz-oose!”

“I know that civilization is crumbling, but do we have to flaunt it?”

“PEACE. I hate the word, as I hate Hell, and all dumb hippies.”

“It’s like the all-you-can-eat buffet of Conspiracy Theories, and everybody is crowding the Deviled Egg/JFK Assassination table.”

“She said she was an ‘unemployed cocktail waitress.'” “Is that anything like an ‘unlicensed masseuse?'”

“It looks like somebody set off a Paris-and-Nicki-Hilton Bomb in there.”

“Did I just say “eh”?”

“GenCon Barcelona? I dunno…I don’t speak Spanish.” “That’s OK. They speak Catalan.”

“Would you like some sex on a roll?”

“GAMA on ICE! The Geek Capades!”

“You stayed in until Fifth Street with a fucking 10-2 off-suit? What the hell are you thinking?” “I’m thinking that I’m taking all your money.”

“What do you recommend as health insurance and retirement benefits for freelancers?” “A spouse with a good job.”

“…and, as appropriate for a freelancing seminar, he’s late.”

“I’ve got a better proposal: don’t fuck with my branding, and I won’t bounce a lead pipe off your skull.”

“GURPS Fourth Edition….Hold For Applause….”

Sirens of TI, or as I like to call it: Yo-ho-Ho’s.”

“The Riviera is skuzzier. I mean it’s “old hooker Vegas.” Stretch-marks and inch-thick makeup.”

“You can’t succeed if you don’t try.” “True, but I also can’t fail if I don’t try, so there’s a nice little bit of symmetry there.”

…and that was the GAMA Trade Show.

Signing Off Until Friday….

I’m headed out to Vegas tomorrow for the GAMA Trade Show, and will be back on Friday.

This year should be interesting. Not only am I busier than I have ever been at a GTS (covering marketing duties for two seperate clients, as well as trying to line up some future freelance work for myself), but there promises to be political highjinx a-plenty, as a concerted effort is being made by a group of industry pros (headed by Ryan Dancey) to take down the current GAMA Board and their proposal for a new set of by-laws.
