What is your most fondest memories from work in gaming press?

From a materialistic standpoint? E3 2002, the height of shwag, partly because game publishers still had to print press kits, as opposed to handing us USB sticks these day. Over the event's three days, I ended up with three shopping bags with of stuff including 6-months worth of review copies from Atlus, every available shwag from Working Designs (without needing to participate in the attendee contests), and press bribe Xenosaga merchandise straight from Japan .
I've also attended a lot of review events, and while the annual Call of Duty trip to Palm Springs is nice, I seem to have fonder memories of the 3-day/2-night Crysis 2 review event at the St. Regis in San Francisco. We had our own rooms, each with 3D TVs. According to the hotel website, each room cost EA $500.
