Kfest 2007 has started - reports from Kansas City

Kfest is official this afternoon with the Keynote Address given by
David Szetela of Nibble Magazine fame.

We have quite a few people who have not been in a while.  It is great
to see them back.

Perhaps the most startling thing so far, and it is not much, is that
someone (please identify yourself) is driving a full size school bus
repainted in an old dark green color.  Some have called it olive
drab.   In some places the paint has come off giving it a camoflage
feel.

The bus made it easy to move people to Sweet Tomatoes last night for
the unofficial kick off of Kfest 2007.

Lots of other have different impressions I'm sure.

A few extras took the time to drive this year brings more gear.  Tony
Diaz drove from somewhere in sunny California. Eric and Sarah Shepherd
came from the other direction (Kentucky?).  We have drivers from Ohio,
Chicago area, and my wife and I from Houston.  This is why Kansas was
picked in the first place, it is so centrally located.

The game boxes have been used quite a bit on the big screen TV in the
central room.  I'm seen an xbox and a wii.  Michael Kent seems to be
the master at wii bowling.
