To those of you that are still at the expo, if you get raffle numbers called out that are 475134, 475135, and so on to 475142 they are mine so may someone ship them to me if I win and then I will pay shipping to them. I also have numbers 475208 to 475211. Thank you very much!!!!!

Just returned from the Expo, what a great time! The presentations were great and it was interesting to see what is possible.
Thanks to Jeff, the Parallax crew and all others who helped put the show on.
Argh, I wish I had been able to go - but I just had too much to do (Morpheus XGA/SVGA/VGA drivers, graphics engine, etc)
I am looking forward to video's, photo's and reports!

Had a great time out there! I haven't done anything with Parallax since my first BASIC Stamp many eons ago. Heard about this event awhile ago, but wasn't absolutely sure I'd be able to attend. Well, it worked out that I could make the short drive over from Toledo with some friends. We didn't stay a real long time, but attended a couple of the presentations, enjoyed the exhibits (even bought some stuff), and just had a great time! Would really like to get back into building things if I can just free up a little spare time here and there!
Anyways, thanks to all involved in putting on the event! Great job! Glad to see that we're able to get a decent attendance at this type of event out here in what's often called the middle of nowhere.

Another great job by Jeff and crew! We couldn't stay till the end but had fun while we were there. It was nice to see "old" friends (like from the last Expo) and make new ones. There were a lot of neat projects on display. Hopefully people will post them here or in Completed Projects.
Heck, maybe the excitement of the Expo will inspire me to finally complete a project or two and have something to show at the next one.
Wow... what a great time... everyone was really cool to talk to, and I got lots of good ideas (and lots of freebee stuff ). Thanks to Jeff for setting up the show, Parallax for picking up the tab, and everyone for showing up. It was great to talk to a bunch of other Prop heads, and really cool to talk to the Parallax guys about the Prop II along with all the other cool Prop stuff we talked about.
Just wanted to say thanks to OBC for making this all happen. Your time and effort made many many people very happy. I can only see this event growing in the future. It's one thing to see things on web sites, it's another to see them in person. Best venue I've been to this year!
And to Parallax for taking time to show up, pick up the tab, and answering all our questions, a BIG thank you. You guys are first class all the way and everybody that made it yesterday will agree on that.
It was an awesome time and I will be coming back! I met a lot of great people from this forum that I would love to see again in person! Thanks to all those who where kind enough (which was everyone ) to answer all my crazy questions and thanks to Parallax and OBC for putting together such an event. My routine the whole time was: (1. go to the freebie table (2. go look at the stands and ask questions at every one (3. Head back to my table and play with anything that I got that time around (4. repeat.
Thanks to everyone and looking forward to seeing you again!

Here's a special treat... I received a drive full of video from our very first Unofficial Propeller Expo.
I'll have to convert a bunch of these to smaller files, but here's the first two.
(They were small enough to upload immediately.)
Compared to UPEW/UPENE 2009, this room was SO TINY!
That was some fun times. This years was bigger, Glad OBC got the Gym or we would really have to become good friends(LOL)
Thank's OBC and Crew. I learned a lot at this year's Expo, met new faces to go with the people from the forum, and had a great time.
Again Thanks to everyone.

I want to add my thanks to OBC and Parallax. It was a great expo again this year and I guess I'm already looking forward to next year - but I'll have to bring a project with me next time.

Yeah, Bean! I've been thinking about what to do with mine. It looks like it should do well with emulation - I think that I can get two or three of the cogs running together to emulate a Vista system.
UPENE rocks! Never a dull moment, so many things to see and do.
Only one small issue about registration that was quickly and efficiently taken care of.
Thank You Parallax
I had many enjoyable conversations with Chip, Beau and Jeff representing Parallax.
Thank you to every one involved in this event. Including attendees.
To OBC: A very special thanks for starting this party, keep up the good work.
Note to anyone going next year: Go ahead and show your project, no mater what.
I didn't take mine in until the tables and chairs were being folded.
Big mistake on my part.

@Roger, I apologize for the registration issue... I've got too much human interaction in the
signup process. We'll be adopting a web forums signup for next expo which should take care
of issues like this.
Photo links should be posted to this thread, and I'll move them to the top thread as I see them.

Exhausted and can't feel my feet anymore, but WOW! WHAT AN EXPO!
The Unofficial Propeller Expo is about YOU and YOU GUYS WERE AWESOME!
I saw many great projects, and friends from both the forums and other expos.
Now that Expos are a wrap, and I'll write a full report in a day or so.
I'm looking forward to UPENE+ 2010! Really!
