...E3 2010 Pics

Check out our booth before everyone got there:


I managed to get a ton of pics next to the Pro Guitar display:

The Dance Central girls were loving the Beatles setup.  Well one of them looked unhappy until I turned on no-fail:

The Dance Central Area has a really cool setup:


We had 3 Rock Band 3 stages - this was the smallest:


Bryn and I had 1 break the entire time, during which we took this shot:


We spent most of our time in one of the private rooms giving demos and letting people play the Pro Guitars:


Holy crap there was a lot of stuff to tear down:


 And at the end there was a party on the roof of the Standard where we stayed.  My coworkers jumped in the pool and caused mayhem.  I pretty much just went to bed as I was sick all week!
