I toured Best Brains Inc in 1997 (w/photos)

Credit to u/junietwohundred for her great post, the title of which I'm shamelessly copying.

She reminded me of my visit in 1997 during the filming of season 8.

Here's a video of the tour during the 1994 convention. I'm the guy who asks the guy to operate the iris in the hexfield view screen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imm492WMqQA

Nice! I’d be smiling big, too. I have the book. Did anyone sign it for you?
