Re: KFest 2005 report

Saturday:

Breakfast lost it's charms for me and my roomie, so we slept in until
9:30 am and missed it.

Very little was going on as everyone's strenght begins to wane, but our
Hackfest winners were announced.  Margret Anderson won with a BASIC
program adventure that explored our new campus.

Lunch was chicken fajitas and/or cheese ravioli, and the fajitas were
good.

The Swap Meet/Vendor fair was a bit light on vendors, although Bruce
Baker, Hans Franke, and Ryan Suenaga for Syndicomm were doing business.
 I think most of the deals went on behind the scenes.  B-{)

Tony did a session on the Mockingboard, and another on the Novation Cat
modem, that had a bit of incriminating information involved, but very
interesting stories nonetheless.

We got another group together and visited the Apple Store one more
time.  More than one iPod left the premises with happy new owners.
Leaving the KFest.org webpage filling those nifty 30 inch LCD monitors
was childish, but I had fun.  B-{)

After our return, we go prepared to take off one last time to head for
a local restaurant.  Ken Gagne had chosen McCoy's, and it was a nice
place.  The ale was certainly good.  B-{)

The return to the dorm finds us winding down.  Some packing for the
early flights they must take for tomorrow.  Others of us just visiting
with our old friends getting in a few more words before yet another
year separates us.

I doubt we'll be doing any really late stuff now.  Early flights, and
long drives make us want to be somewhat fresh and recovered for our
trips home.

In any case, this is my last report.  Tomorrow, we scatter to the wind,
apart, but convinced in the power and connections of the Apple II
community.

Take care!
