Game Show Congress
« on: June 13, 2007, 11:30:33 PM »
Less than a month to go, and Game Show Congress 2007 is shaping up to be huge. Just to update:

The guests confirmed for the awards luncheon on Sunday, July 15th honoring Bob Stewart and Wink Martindale include Betty White, Betsy Palmer, Barbara Feldon, Florence Henderson, Theresa Ganzel, Johnny Gilbert, Charlie O'Donnell, Geoff Edwards, Earl Holliman, Henry Polic III and the one and only Don Pardo. Expect to see other of the Stewarts' fave celebrity players who have yet to confirm their attendance.

In addition, a bunch of attendees will be at TPiR-Live in Vegas on Friday night. There will be lots of game play on Saturday afternoon and evening, more live game show music from The Ceramic Dalmations, and Chris' "Match Game" fun Sunday afternoon. See you there!

We will be drawing contestants from the audience and there will be a cash prize. Afterwards, there will be hors d'oeuvres and a chance to mingle with your fellow game show fans. I expect MG will end by 6:00 pm which, with hors d'oeuvres and mingling, will give you plenty of time to make it to the Acme for What's My Line?

Seating is limited to 80 (or so).

The perf has 3 as part of his reportage on www.tvgameshows.net
and I have 3 at the bottom of the "photos" page at www.tvrandywest.com
They are all from the luncheon. Hopefully more, including some from the MG event, will see the light of day. I have a few that I can e-mail to someone willing to host them.

The Suchards were gracious enough to E-mail me six photos from the MG event (they turned out nicely, in spite of the fact that I'm in four of them), but I don't have a site to post them on.  If anyone's willing to host them, I'll be happy to send 'em.

I took some photos as well (mostly at the luncheon)--some turned out better than others.  Again, no site to host on but I'd be happy to share what I have.

I use Photobucket. It allows you to resize pictures, and it's free.

There's others, but again, I use that, and it's quite simple. Just upload from your comp and link to those.

Thanx for the tip! :)

Here's my first foray into photosharing.  I apologize in advance for any damage done to your monitors.

I've also got the video of the luncheon, which I'm working to get edited.  Our videographer recorded in high definition for some reason, and I've got a little bit of a learning curve before I'm ready to deal with that.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

Is it just me, or do Don Pardo and Ann Cullen both look *fantastic*?

It's nice to see. :)

Agreed...
