Any stories or photos from HW Collectors Con?

I was a bad Hot Wheels fan this past weekend...the National HW Collector's Convention was here in Columbus, right in my backyard, and I did not attend. 

I did not attend the ticket-only part because I'm just not collecting much anymore and the price tag was a little high for me based on my past experience. I didn't attend the public vendor day on Sunday because Easter and I was super bummed.

Dare I stand on my soapbox for a moment and ask, "who schedules a convention over a holiday?" Seriously. I can only imagine how many more people would have walked through the doors if it had not been on Easter. Anyway...

I saw some posts fly by on Facebook from folks that were there but I'm not all that well connected so my view was limited to say the least.

Did anyone go...? What did you see? What did you like? Did you race? 

Share any stories and photos so the rest of us can imagine, plan, and dream for next time.
