Foreign, how many years have you come here? 10 years. And you were with a Tetris shirt? Yeah, this is my second year. Okay, came all the way from Canada. Though some of us call it the 51st state, but I won't. I don't know where I'm going right here. Okay, okay. Hello, young lady. Hi, are you having a good time? I hope so. Yeah, here's a nice row of older games, some of which I remember. Valleys, valleys. They got all the Valleys together. I was looking for some old Williams, maybe. Well, if they broke the camera, hopefully I haven't sold this out of focus. So how's the show? What's the attendance compared to other years? It's fantastic. I think that we're definitely up in numbers. This seems heavy. I don't know how these people do this. Oh, you think this is funny, huh? I like the fact that we have all the vendors and all the whole halls together. It just feels really good. Good. So you got a new gig, Steadicam operator? Yeah, yeah. Are you having a good time? Good. You're having a good time too. Good. That's the important thing. These games are all about fun. All right, we're unloading this thing.
