On Nov 1st most of the US will do that Daylight Savings thing, so that means the EST virtual expo will be UTC-4

Either way, I'm in the same time zone as Rev... In fact, I'm hiding in the bushes behind his shed 🤫

I'm going to be hung up on how dreamy the Haribo outlet is for the next week or two, at least.

I am ready to go to the show!😊

@wolfy62 How's the quality of the hat? We haven't done any hats or tote bags before, so I'm hoping they're decent.

I wear a lot of sports hats so I was wondering  myself!

I knew the shirt would be great because I have already previously ordered a bunch of Intellivision ones through spreadshirt.

The hat is great!!! It does not have the cheap plastic bands with the plastic dots on the back to make it larger.

Instead it is a really nice stretchy material that says Flexfit along the inside band of the cap. It's very comfortable and as it says,flexes to fit the back of my head very nicely!😃

I convinced the Twitter Info Distribution Division at Intv Prime to mention the Expo.

Lucked out.  My Virtual Expo shirt arrived today.  Ladies are already looking at me like fresh meat.

Where's the candy? I bought some for the day because it wouldn't be an Expo without rescuing these out of the container holding all the other kinds:

[Intymike]

Nice, Cola gums....

 

The candy is stored at the booth.

Word is starting to get out! 

 

Everyone, let's tell everyone about this. Audience size is key!

Why? Who are we competing with?  I thought content and community were key.

Why does he write that the Intellivision was never available in his country? It seems to be a UK site.

It looks like he may be from Portugal.

In the 80s I was living in Brazil. Now I am in Canada.

Wow, you are right. I completely forgot that the Intellivision II was sold there circa 1984-85!!!! Thanks for the reminder!

 

I have updated the first paragraph based on my now refreshed memory

 

Thanks @Intymike!

I have zero recollection of that. Do you know if in that case they were imported or manufactured there?

Wasn't Digiplay a Brazilian distributor?  There are images of Digiplay boxes, overlays, and manuals with a different font.  Maybe Intellivision was only available in parts of Brazil.
