Because I was in Washington D.C. for the Art of Video games exhibit.

It was actually really awesome. Seeing 8 Bit Weapon/ComputeHer and Dj MKO live was really cool. Got 8 Bit Weapon/ComputeHer's CD signed by them. I got to meet Hideo Kojima (creator of the Metal Gear Solid series) and he signed my PSPGo and my copy of MGS HD Collection.

Also I got like 76 streetpasses and met a lot of really cool people and saw a lot of cool things. Photos of everything are here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/taovg/ . Some of my photos/videos are in there and there's some really cool cosplay.
 
Definitely one of my next spots to visit when I go down to my annual DC retreat this coming Spring Break. Do they have a list of guests that just come and do autographs or is it at random? At any rate, I am insanely jealous and cant wait to view it for myself.

http://americanart.si.edu/exhibitions/archive/2012/games/#programs is the list, but opening weekend had "Gamefest" which is when all the big people were going to be here.

But to be honest, if you're going for the exhibit, it's nor work the 5/6 hour drive you'll be having. It's hardly any art which is a real bummer. While the stuff they got was really cool and interesting, it was just a room or two of actual art.
 
I saw it on CBS Sunday Morning today and they made it out to be this almost seperate museum so I thought it was going to be a shitload of rooms lol. But I suppose I should be satisfied enough. Its not like I am really missing out on anything because I probably just look at the Atari and Sony sections lol. (and I own a classic Atari which is rewarding in itself I guess lol). But it would have been nice to actually meet one of the game designers. Oh well. AND HEY. The museum allows flash photography? All of the Smithsonian museums I have been to so far have not allowed cameras at all so if they allow photo shoots there thats even more amazing.
