Origins Pictures

The pictures are few, and they are lame, but I was busy playing game.

Jim Dorgan, happy about arriving at the bar.

John, reading up on the brilliant tactics in the newest Captain's Log

Gathering for dinner on night 1

Just a small portion of the registration line, which was usually about 3-4 hours long (many thanks to John and Jim for saving a spot for me while I slept in)

25 SFB nerds clogging up a restaurant lobby waiting for dinner

My favorite picture of them all, and a good summary of Jim's state throughout Origins
