Battlefield Sports Exhibits at IAAPA Attractions Expo 2009

Last month my team and I showed off our latest technology to interested people from all over the world at the year's pinnacle event - IAAPA Expo. We had a blast meeting new and existing owner/operators.


We offered a great SHOW SPECIAL that we are now extending for a limited time. So call us to find out more.

People from bowling alleys to go cart tracks, from family entertainment to LAN centers, even from Casinos were interested in Battlefield Sports.

Yep just arrived back from Melbourne. Well, didn't win but it was a terrific experience. My hat goes off to the lady that got the gong, not only does she have 6 teenagers, but she also is a fantastic scientist.
I'm back in Brissy for 12 hours then Canditta & I are off again to fly to LA and then onto Vegas for the IAAPA trade show. (If you are in the area, why not pop by? we are in booth #6013)

Well i'm heading for the airport. Off to Melbourne to compete in the National Telstra business women's awards. Wish me luck!

Last weekend we had a fun Halloween event. We ran a special feature Live-Play called "Mad Zombie Doctor." It was terrific, lots of shooting, dying and of course gore! Check out the photos.

This weekend just got we had a fun birthday party, a join 10th birthday for Ben & Alicia. Canditta made a Commando Cake!
Wow.
It was impressive.
A 1 to 1 ratio of the commando carbine gaming gun!. Complete with silver cashews detail for the pot rivets and key hole. And a cool antenna made out of a "milky-way." Though she reckons it would have been better to make that out of licorice. We had 30 kids & parents, but I think the cake could have fed 100. But our group make a noble effort, with lots of people coming back for seconds.
:-)
Check the photos!

Partly done.


Completed cake.

Boy, oh Boy!
What a week!
Monday had lunch with Peter Beattie (former premier of the State, now trade commissioner to North and South America) and a 100 of his closest friends.
;-)
Tuesday lunch, went to the Telstra Business Women's Awards. And low & behold, I won the Nokia Innovation Award!

Phew!
What a whirl-wind.

The day got started early today. Canditta & I went to the Sofitel Hotel for a business breakfast. It was the "power panel" a hypothetical type format, hosted by Lexi Hamilton-Smith (who, of course, did a fantastic job as MC). Elena Gosse, Jano Dawes and myself were on the panel. see http://www.qbr.com.au/

Yes it is almost Halloween. Every year Battlefield LIVE throws a huge halloween costume party. We've had all sorts from "Scream" to "evil angels" to a Father / Son Vampire team, in true Twilight tradition. This year there's a rumour that the 501st will be out in FORCE. So get your Boba Fett, Storm Tropper, and Darth Vader costumes ready.
