[vcf-midatlantic] Stuff for Festivus

[Ian Primus]

Last I checked, we didn't have reliable Internet anywhere in the
available buildings, so streaming Internet radio probably isn't going
to work. I can bring my boom box - but it only plays cassettes. Which
means that either someone will have to connect something to it, or
listen to all of *my* music.

Something tells me that musical tastes in our group differ far too
much for this to go over well. Not to mention, there will likely be
enough noise with the games going, and we really mostly have these
events to talk to each other anyway.

So, I dunno. Up to you guys. I can bring the boom box and a few boxes
of tapes, or someone else can bring something (I hear they have ways
of playing music using only ones and zeroes now. Not sure if I trust
that), or we can just skip the music.
