People pay my wife good money to write, edit, format and post blogs on professional web sites, she tells me tricks to increasing readership and exuding quality include: posting regularly, using pictures conservatively and keeping each blog post to a few paragraphs or less.
I don't want more readers, so I make blogs super long, post very randomly and, like in this case, use so many pictures as to be annoying.
Welcome to my blog on the Portland Retro Gaming Expo 2013.[img width=700 height=525]http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3669/10180032274_a8d0904abe_b.jpg[/img]I remember seeing Tron in Halo 1,2 and 4, don't you?The show took place Saturday and Sunday October 5-6 at the Portland Oregon Convention Center.

Last year I wrote about going to the Cowlitz Gamers for Kids show in Kelso Washington. You can read more of the details of this show, put on for charity, in that blog:
http://www.rfgeneration.c...rs-for-Kids-Show-2147.phpRather than retell much of what is written there, I will mostly cover new stuff for this post.
I'm going to rely on "pictures being worth a thousand words," which is keeps me from having to write much, always a plus
So, if your internet is slow, sorry. The rest of you get to enjoy this multimedia extravaganza of pictures! other peoples videos! and text!
It was a beautiful sunny day here in the Northwest on Saturday April 13th 2013. If you read my post in the small scores thread, you will know that Zagnorch, giver of gifts, gentleman extraordinaire, sent me a lifetime supply of sunscreen. What a wonderful, and useful gift! Here in the NW we get so much sunshine, sunscreen is a constant necessity. The Saturday of the show turned out to be one of the hottest, sunniest days of the year. The temperature reached the mid 50's (F) and the rain let up several times. I took a picture of the blue sky:

I went to the retro game expo in Portland this weekend. So much to see and do, I ended up with tons of pictures. I thought it would be better to blogify the whole thing rather than clog up some thread.
PRGE has been going on every year for the last several years. Last year was the first one I went to, it was great. This one was as good as last year, with even more added. The first few pictures are a little bit from the show, the ones at the end are of things I bought.

On April 28 2012 the Cowlitz Gamers for Kids Video Game Show was held in Kelso Washington. I wanted to report back on the show to you as I believe I was the only RFGener there. A real reporter would have gotten this story out much sooner but as I have a predilection for
not writing, this story is old news.
There is a bunch to read but there are pictures at the end!
