Now I'm off to VCF East planning!
And January Workshop planning... 😉 It was a great Festivus. I think not having a Workshop during Festivus this year, due to the separation of working areas, was the right call. It allowed for proper and expected mingling amongst the guests. After all, we were there for each other. Perhaps in a (not so) distant future, when we are allotted more space from InfoAge for our cause, we could have the space needed to combine Festivus and Workshop related activity in the same area, instead of split out in another building, like CDL, for the instance. There are people who were at Festivus who probably never experienced one of our Workshops, so Festivus COULD be used as a preview of such activities. I agree that we should never split Festivus activities across two independent buildings, but if we did have a large enough space for ourselves for Festivus, we could have the tables, gaming, swapmeet, and even a small workshop area within the same four walls, using our own personal repair tools, of course. That would also help introduce to others what we as an organization are all about. And just in case he's a subscriber to this message list, I want to thank Steve Lowery for showing up at Festivus, and Jeff Brace for inviting him. He is new to the organization, and very interested in attending our Workshops. And as an avid Commodore user, he would make a great addition to our ranks. Gotta keep that C= count up! LOL Jeff Salzman
