Very few peeps at the St. Louis gig... probably 350 or so. I drove out Sunday night and stayed with a buddy who goes to Washington University Law school and then drove back after the gig - just got back in fact. Neither me nor my friend came away with a setup, but I did get a shirt. FYI they were giving away Gigabyte GA-7DX mobos with the 1800+ chips, I know this is a change from the MSI boards they gave away at some of the earlier events. Anyone else go? When the dude asked what games we played I was the one who yelled "Solitaire!!" :)

Anyway.....

Well, anyone who showed up at StL had a better chance than some of the other cities, methinks....

I was there from 5:30 on. At 5:30 there may have been 350 people but by the 6:15 a.m. drawing ther was close to 800. The ticket numbers ranged from 17800 to 18600. Still a smaller turn out than some other cities. I won a thermal coffee cup. I had ticket number 18349 and someone won a CPU with number 18346 right next to me. My sister had 18351 and the winning number for the Falcon Northwest computer had 18356. So close.

A hardcore event for hardcore geeks

Actually, the numbers given out probably weren't consecutive.... I'm sticking to my 350, maybe 400 estimate.
