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.

You might not know this, but ¦
I like air planes — warbirds.

Social Media. It’s so cool when technology can extend the conversation, enabling new perspectives and allowing participants who wouldn’t normally be part of the conversation.
In the next year or two, I hope to¦

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,

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.
