Here is the buy/sell list for the mini swap meet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19jpgyvVoKaxAuUxQU-7_b3Grk9LWOQ6aAbQl... The swap meet rules are you bring your own table(s) and are responsible for selling things yourself. We will be using the same area that we used for consignment during VCF East. So in other words there is *plenty* of room. Festivus Repair workshop signup: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14C_OObkhtzCsA-LF7rzNhoagb3RovLDsXtBg... For those of you who don't know what Festivus is: This is our annual party where we get together to strictly socialize. We eat, drink, and Be Nerdy! We play vintage video games. Last year we added our mini-swap meet where we buy and sell to each other. This was a success, so we are doing it again. New for this year: We will be having a Festivus repair workshop. There will also be the InfoAge Holiday Model Train show in the hotel and 9032-A buildings. The name Festivus has two origins: 1) It was taken from the title of a Seinfeld episode, 2) A variation of "Festival" which is our show (e.g. Vintage Computer *Festival*), whereas Festivus is our party.
