Well,

the MAX is over and it was a great show for me. I met lots of old friends and met some guys from GDC that I had not known before. Several who were at the MAX for the first time.

MAX is held in Monroeville and the best of the three host hotels is the Doubletree, which is right next to the Convention Center.

Thanks, Kreta. I had not seen that video.

That was a great gesture to give the chain back to Rodenberg. The last they had seen of it was in 1945. A GI had 'liberated' it and it was hanging from the barrel of Sherman tank!
