In case you live in a bubble and hadn't noticed one of our newest members, Thor Aackerlund, I figured I would make a post announcing that he'll be our guest of honor at AGE Expo 2008!

It's been 18 years since he's made a public appearance and 16 years since his last interview, so to say we're excited for his arrival would be the understatement of the century!

For all of you guys that are on the rail about showing up, what more convincing do you need?!?! Get your butts to the Expo!

-Dain

BTW, our commercials will be running on Sci-Fi, Cartoon Network, G4, Comedy Central and Spike a whopping 387 times over two weeks leading up to the Expo, so if you're a vendor on the rails, you should really show up! We have a few spots left!

can you post a link to the videos of the commercials if they are available?  It would be cool to see them...I just don't want to have to watch those channels 24/7 to find the commercial. 

Can we have the expo earlier in the summer next year?  School (work-I am a teacher) starts around the first week of Sept making it hard for me to make it.   Early August would be nice. 

Thanks

I must admit, the hype machine sure is working hard on this one.

I was just going to bring a digital camera and IC recorder but you guys are tempting me to bust out a dv cam.

It was Mario, played by my friend Chris Davis. He does commercials for a living.

I'm probably leaving Thursday to head over to Knoxville. Will be staying in a nearby town called Kingston.

I'm not looking forward to that drive.
