We had a great time at the Digital Life tradeshow in New York City this weekend, although it was hard work setting up, tearing down, and being at the ready for product demonstrations and more. But we were very excited to meet readers and non-readers (future readers, we hope) of PC Magazine and Gearlog. It's always a great thing to get feedback from gaming and electronics enthusiasts who really know their stuff.

On Saturday night we had our first official meet-up, and more than 200 people showed up. Granted, most were there to meet rock stars Patrick Norton and Robert Heron of DL.TV, and to chat up PC Magazine Editor-in-Chief Jim Louderback (who was pouring beer right alongside the bartender). But there were a few diehard Gearlog fans who made their way to our gathering. And on Sunday, we met several more Gearlog readers and radio listeners, and we've got the PICTURES TO PROVE IT!

Also in attendance at Digital Life (though inexplicably not at our meetup) was rapper Saigon (pictured at left). Lacey Chabert (Party of Five, Mean Girls) was there to celebrate Sonic the Hedgehog's 15th birthday--unfortunately we didn't get a picture of Lacey. Dustin Diamond, or Screech to most, was supposed to be at Ageia's booth on Sunday but he "missed his plane." Based on his recent extracurricular activities, it's anyone's guess what made him late to the airport.
