What can I say about attending my first E3 that would convey the whole experience in a nutshell?
From the time I entered the LA Convention Center it was almost sensory perception overload, but in a good way. You could feel the energy in the air, and the buzz of the future of gaming all around every room. The sights and sounds of all exhibitors were each unique, but all worked together in a seamless flow of gaming nirvana!

The Work (Yeah right!)
My purpose for attending E3 2006 with GlitterKill and FroggieGirl was to get sponsors for GameApex. In the weeks leading up to the conference I was very nervous about the task at hand. Not knowing what specifically I would need to do or say so to help put me at ease GlitterKill agreed to go on the first few meetings to show me the ropes.
FroggieGirl was the official booth babe photographer for PCApex, so she left us and set off on her merry way to find as many booth babes to photograph as possible. With freshly printed business cards, media kits and my best smile off GK and I went to the first booth. After the first meeting which was with Saitek, I quickly realized this was in no way work. As the slogan for E3 states, " E3 Where Business Gets Fun", there could not have been a more true tag line to describe the expo.
