You're welcome Martin.  I spent many years online reading such reports
and wishing I was there, until 1997, when I got the bucks and my
courage up, and drove the 7 hours to KC.  I haven't missed one since.
It's the one and only time I can hang out with those that share my
interest in Apple II's.  Or Macs.  or Linux.  KFest is a great
rejuvinator.

I'll look forward to seeing you!  Attendance was down this year, and
while we're still above the go/abort cutoff line, having new folks join
us ("Hi Mike!") is always a thrill.  And seeing those who've missed a
few years is just as exciting.

I shudder at the thought of one day, having to stay home the third week
of July...  B-{P

Take care!
