A little quality time with Mario on SoBe photo

Just before the event began, we ran into Miyamoto's kid and hung out with him for a little bit. Despite the harsh humid weather of tropical South Florida (one girl from the PR agency reported showering 5 times a day) the man in overalls was hanging in there pretty well, playing with the kids, and hamming it up with the Robot. Nintendo also provided the BEST.COOKIES.EVER. along with heavy duty catering, a smoothie bar, and breathtaking views of South Beach. It was tempting to just run across the street and jump in, but we had some Wii games to jump into as well.  More pics coming up soon!  Here's a gallery of the blue carpet entrance inside and out.

You can barely see through the air conditioner vent and the helmet is at an angle ;) It takes practice!

Those kids were so funny, they were some famous lady's kids. I'm super bad with celebrity names, I forgot who she was but she was cool. I have a video of them harassing me to put on the helmet, look for it in the middle if YouTube ever decides to work.

Neiro, I love that you wear the robot helmet when you go to these gaming events. Proves to me that you have huge balls and a great sense of humor. Rock on, Dude!
