10 days 'til Festivus!
by Evan Koblentz 05 Dec '19

05 Dec '19

There are just 10 days until the magic of Festivus. All you slackers :), please use the links that Jeff posted to get tickets and to document what food/drink you will bring. The more people who do both of these things ahead of time, the better the party will be.

Festivus TBD
by Jeffrey Brace 04 Dec '19

04 Dec '19

Wow! So many people are bringing TBD. It must be really good for so many people to bring it! Not only is it a drink, but it is a food too! I can't wait to try it! But seriously, please update your drink/food stuff here to something more specific: < https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x0oSxqZXh8tmqqbUsP3KS3OywiNsEAOOmtq… > If you are bringing Soda, please be specific! Is it Coke, Coke Zero, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Sprite, etc. There are always last minute people asking "What can do you need? What can I bring?" So if I know what others are bringing, then I can suggest some things. If I know what we are getting, then I can tell them what to bring. -- ========================================= Jeff Brace Vice President Vintage Computer Federation

Festivus Sunday Breakfast at Diner?
by Jeffrey Brace 03 Dec '19

03 Dec '19

I wasn't sure how many people would be interested, but I was thinking about going out to a diner Sunday morning. If there are a lot of people, then we will go to OB diner, if less then The Blue Swan. What do you think? -- ========================================= Jeff Brace Vice President Vintage Computer Federation

He said most of the Tandy and Commodore stuff was gone. IBM Convertibles and laptops remain. Not really enough incentive to make the trip, but In thanked the guy for taking the time to reply. Bill >
