   Why hello again,
   Well, what you say may or may not be true. I find it hard to
believe that they wouldn't drop the restriction if they don't care.
Are you one of 'they', or are you just making assumptions about their 
attitudes? If I wrote the organizers and asked them if I could go,
would they say, "Sure, who cares?"
    Perhaps it is because of people who break the rules to go to E3
that Mike Lee received such a chilly reception at the show. I believe
"mean" was a word he used to describe his experience, in fact he used
the term three times. 
   Whatever, I wouldn't be advising people to engage in deception.
Perhaps you could advise him to write the show's organizers, explain
his situation, and ask for permission. From what you say, they would
probably give it. If I wanted to go, that is what I would do, but I am
not foolish enough to go to Georgia in the middle of the summer.
   Peace, 
   Matt
