Mike, The Interim Computer Festival is in the Seattle area. I don't know why their link isn't working. It has been held for the past 2 or 3 years I think. I have never gone, but Jason Perkins has.

Jeff, I guess my confusion with the workshop dates was because the Hackathon was the same day weekend!

Now I’m trying to figure out what the “interim Computer festival” is?

The link seems to be broken “service unavailable”.
