I was the MySQL and PHP guy for MaddenPlanet.com, the largest Madden/EA fansite, when they'd have trouble... a regular poster there for a long time, so I was made a mod sometime ago. AndyP, the guy who owns and runs MaddenPlanet, got me setup as an EA Community Leader, which then gets me involved in these neat little things. So a few months ago, Nathan Farenthold, director of online marketing for EA, sends me an e-mail ... asking me whether I'm interested in going to Vancouver to check out MVP '06.... I definitely was, and the rest is history.

I really enjoyed Vancouver, it was a beautiful city... though too far away from home for me. The water was really good, too. Straight out of the tap and it tasted just fine for my tastes. I like the tap water in my home town but rarely any other places... this was like clear gold, nice and cold. The rockies were impressive too ... I had never seen them before so it was a treat.
