PhillyClassic 5 blew the doors off of their attendance figures.  2,584 people attended the 5th annual event, and as you will see in the photos below, the show floor was mobbed for almost the entire weekend.

The arcade sponsors were Quarterarcade.com & Videotopia.

Guests included Cindy Morgan, Howard Scott Warshaw, Tommy Tallarico, and Roger Peterson.

I think the pictures below will speak for themselves.
PC5 was mobbed for most of the weekend.  You aren't going to see
any photos of empty aisles, or few attendees here.  PhillyClassic
was full of people from the beginning of the show right up through the end.  

AtariAge
The AtariAge booth was one of the largest displays at the show.  Al Yarusso & his team pulled out all of the stops this year.  He had a ton of great merchandise for sale, and also hosted Howard Scott Warshaw.

world-record holder for the classic coin-op game TRON.

ATARIMUSEUM.COM
Curt Vendel was very active in this show.  Not only did he build custom display kiosks for AtariAge & Videogame.net, he also brought a large Jaguar display, and some interesting items from Atari's history that have never been shown to the public before.
