The soldering station partly set up (yes, he had more equipment)
Someone seemingly thinking the ice bucket is worth taking a picture of
One of the two lobbies
A few of us really wanted one that size...
We found the arcade
Us moving around in David's room...it is no Signature, but only 2 of us are staying anyway ;)
An ad we found. Fitting, no?
Sleeping Rockbox devs...aren't they cute?
Brandon asleep next to his laptop like a true dev
Some have said that Joel resmebles an angel when he sleeps...
Paul left his teddy bear at home
Apparently, Austin's subconscious kicks in when people put cameras in front of his sleeping face
Some pics of our Tower of Rockbox...We cheated a bit with including a few Gigabeat S, a Gigabeat V, and multiple Gigabeat boards (can you tell Christophe was here? ;)

And with Paul telling him that he will crash it, Austin crashes the tower and can be seen in the top-right corner running away
