It was really nice to see everyone and felt really festivus this weekend. It's a labor of love to spend hours planning, setting up and breaking down this event. I'm sorry that some couldn't make it. I'm sending out a note now before I forget and life takes off again and I'm too busy. So please excuse the rough and quick nature of this email. I know that if I don't send it now, then I may never remember. I felt like everyone really enjoyed Festivus and all that went on. First I want to thank David Riley for cooking all the burgers, hotdogs and bratwurst Saturday night. I want to thank Bernie S for cooking the Perogies on Sunday. Thanks to Ian for bringing lots of video games as well as CJ, Jeff Salzman and others who I'm forgetting. Thanks to Bill Inderrieden and others who helped me setup on Friday night. Thanks to Ian Litchefield who helped put the tables, chairs, couches, and beds back last night.

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
Jeff, Thanks for all your efforts in planning & setting up these events! Sorry I couldn’t attend since I am now residing in Arizona but what were the results of the Steering Committee elections?

Thanks for putting this together I just need to remember that this is a three day event and not a two day event now. I also need to bring a sleeping bag. Last year I crashed on the couch and I couldn't do that this time and I moved to another room kind of froze that night. Thanks to everyone that brought stuff. The food was good, the games were a lot of fun.
From my perspective, there is nothing to criticize at all.
This is a get together and we got to eat, drink and play with old tech. What more could you ask for? On Mon, Dec 12, 2022 at 6:55 AM Jeffrey Brace via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Well people from long distances arrive on Friday to make it easier for them. So there is setup and pre party stuff. Saturday is the main day with Sunday being the recovery day.
I also need to bring a sleeping bag. Last year I crashed on the couch and I couldn't do that this time and I moved to another room kind of froze that night.
Oh. Sorry to hear that. Anyone can let me know if they need an extra pillow, or blankets. I live nearby and can spare them for one or two people. Plus I can turn the heat on in the other room.
Thanks to everyone that brought stuff. The food was good, the games were a lot of fun.
Glad to hear that.

Exactly!
