Well, not really a challenge, but more of an opportunity to flesh out my About page a bit by adding to it in a format that Chris suggests.

Cool bio! Can you talk more about the game booth? What will you do to make it an award winning booth? I loved your bio. Warbirds. I don’t know enough by name to relate 100%, but I sure like them. Any particular types or timeframes that appeal to you?
Best to you,
–Chris…
Hi Chris, thanks for stopping by
Game booth: Game was Neverwinter Nights — developer BioWare. We had a 10×10 space in Kentia hall. 4 walls and a door. We set up two demo stations, projector, announcer station and 10 seats (with food/beer/etc) for the press. We ran it non stop for 3 days, 1 hour presentations for press and fans. Close, personal, intimate…everyone raved about the presentation.
Warbirds: I’m a Spitfire fan, but pretty much anything from the 30s and 40s gets me going
Need more airshows in this neck of the woods.
