• Remember my blog post on E3 2005, and how I mentioned that one of the booth babes from E3 2002
  is quite possibly somebody I know? I've been meaning to ask her about
  it, but I haven't seen her for almost two weeks now. Well, just about
  four hours ago, I finally saw her again.  Before I even got a
  chance to inquire about it, she started up a conversation that lasted
  throughout the whole trip to her work place. But as soon as we were
  about to part ways, I was able to bring it up.  This is how it
  went....

  ME: Before you go, there is something I've been meaning to ask you
  about. Are you familiar with the Electronic Entertainment Expo?
  HER: yyeeaaaahhhhh, why? (she had that look like she knows where this is going)
  ME: There's this picture I saw of a woman at E3 a couple of years ago, and she looks just like you.
  HER: What was she wearing?
  ME: Well, you know, she's one of those women who works at one of the
  booths. (yeah, no way I was describing that she was wearing a skimpy
  outfit).
  HER: I plead the fifth. (she smiles)
  ME: oh, okay (I chuckle)
  HER: You know, I was suppose to be there again this year, but I ended up going to Maui.
  ME: Wait, so it was you?
  HER: yyeeaahhh, it was.  I'm a video game chick.
  ME: Really? I'm surprised. (I think I actually did have a surprised look on my face)

  ...and then we waved goodbye to each other. So there you go. 
  She's a "booth babe" and I'm an acquaintance of hers.  Out of all
  these years of me taking pictures of them, I actually know one
  now. In a way, it's almost like knowing a celebrity.
