We enjoyed meeting you and your family as well.

That's the main reason these guys hold events like this, to expand the awareness and knowledge of the hobby, and to keep people from getting royally screwed by the more unsavory characters that have a tendency to prey on the new chums.
Looking forward to your first Auction...Now THAT's a baptism by fire! Fortunately, most of the regulars that you saw at Gamewarp will be there as well.
Welcome to the Addictio...er, Hobby.
