When I saw the posting of this thread I knew I had to check it out!

While no longer a "gamer" I remember my nerdy youthful years when I was WAY into FRPG's and attended huge gaming conventions where we would stay awake for 48 hours at a time surviving only on a steady supply of Mountain Dew and junk food, (and yet some how I never became one of the fat gamers).

My moments of gamer fame resume read as such:

Appeared in an episode of "60 Minutes" on "Fantasy Role Playing Games" doing their "intro" dressed as a Wizard with a briefcase, (in which I carried all my "precious" gaming materials), walking into the now defunct "Dunfie Hotel" in San Mateo which looked like a castle.

Sold a copy of "Call of Cthulhu" and gaming miniature's to James Hetfield of METALLICA while working in a game store in Marin County.

Sold gaming supplies to Whoopie Goldberg and Robin Williams at a game store in San Francisco.

Some how I managed to escape that lifestyle.....went on to world travel, partying and women and then I found TIKI! :D
