KFest 2006 report

["Kirk Mitchell" <kirkmitchell@gmail.com>]

Hey all.

KFest 2006 is now up and running!

Folks have been trickling in most of the afternoon, and being picked up
at airports and train stations by other volunteer attendees.

One word.  Hot.  It was in the 100's and nice high humidity.
Fortunately, the air conditioning in the dorm is working great!

After we got settled in our rooms, we waited for them to get the
wireless network username and password to us.  Finally got that, but
they've certainly limited our access to ports, making telnetting to
a2central.com impossible, as well as not being able to iChat or ftp to
home computers to get forgotten files.  We'll see if we can get them to
open up a few more ports.

We ate at Sweet Tomatoes, a soup and salad place that's generally
acceptable to vegans and omnivores alike.  We took up a very long
table. B-{)

After eating, we went shopping for the Kookout.  Grilled hamburgers and
hot dogs with chips and pop tomorrow!  Of course, I'm the Kook, so I
get to grill everything in this nice hot KC weather.  I may not take
anyone out with food poisoning, but I'll have beer in hand to rehydrate
myself.  B-{)

Right now, folks are just getting reacquainted.  And we have 4 new
faces too!  I think the participant count is 34 Apple II fans.

We sure hope to see more of you folks here next year! B-{)
