A week has gone by since CybCon '07 and it was a good time (except for my bout of acid reflux at 3:30 the morning before - ugh).  We topped out at about 75 attendees, which I believe is an all-time high.  We had 98 pre-registered and 71 of those pre-paid.  That's two more records.  There was plenty to do for everyone too.  We had eight dealers, counting myself (I did well, though i got skunked on one deal I was trying to work out) and ended up with my smallest 'Con haul yet.  I walked away with WST Snarl and Grimlock, the Sam's Club movie deluxe 3-pack, and a huge Jazz banner from a car dealership (Thank you so much, Charlie!!!).

With the amount of people came a few problems.  I ended up having to man the auction/raffle prize table most of the time as some people like to man-handle things that aren't theirs (yet), especially five young boys who apparently have no concept of manners or common courtesy.  This cause me to trip over the ill-placed extension cord for the PS2, thus unplugging it.  Thankfully, that didn't adversly affect anything as the Transmetals tournament wasn't going on at those times.

Greg was the busiest (outside of Joe from Portland who was mobbed from start to finish despite the best efforts of Caroline, Don, and Fred) with running all the contests.  How he managed to take pictures and film video on top of all that is beyond me.

Our exclusive, the Megatron Versus Spider-Man PVC set kitbashed by Zobovor with accompanying artwork by Rev. Allen G and a fanfiction story by Zobovor that bridges the gap between the 1986 movie and "Five Faces of Darkness" went to Liam, the young man who has been coming to the show since it first moved out of Greg's house.  His father, Charlie, brought the Jazz banner he gave to me along with a huge Bumblebee poster and some Ratchet standees.  The standees were raffled off with at least one traded afterwards to Caroline (she really wanted it too, so that was great).

We were going to see the movie again after the show, but my Brother-In-Law David, his wife Shelly, and their daughter Emily came up the night before, so we hung out with them after the show.  They were nice enough to score me some Wal-Mart Transformers movie signage including a huge Prime poster, a Ratchet image, and some logo strips.

So, all-in-all, it was a good day.  And it looks like we may have more help next year so maybe Greg can hopefully take a break.
