Being serious this time.

I can't really answer Evan's question about poss speakers until we have
some kind of framework for the event itself.  Evan talked about a team
exhibit containing every Commodore computer model this year, is this still
the plan?    Will there be more teams/exhibit groups?  If Commodore is
going to be emphasized it would make sense to go heavy on the Commodore
speakers and that makes Charles Brannon a good choice.  Are there any
historical milestones (40 years ago 1977 lots happened then, 50 years ago
1967 a bit more challenging...60....).

I think once there is a loose structure  you can approach speakers with a
reason why they'd be important to the event's success, easier to get the
speaker if you have a purpose behind his talk beyond generic we are into
"old computers" and you remind us of old computers hey speak at out event!
