[vcf-midatlantic] Festivus potential first timer

[Evan Koblentz]

>> I'm thinking about coming to my first Festivus.

Do it! Lots of fun.

>>Would driving in on Saturday morning and leving mid-day Sunday provideme
a good Festivus experience?

Yes.

Officially it starts 10am Saturday, but sometimes people come and hang out
Friday night. Not sure if I can do that this year. If people want to then
Jeff or I will try to enable it.

>> Is it a workshop type of thing? Or more social?

It is a holiday party.

It is not a workshop or a swapfest.

But, us being nerds, inevitably these things happen.

We try to keep it under control because, again, it is a party. :)

A little work here and there is one thing. It would not be appropriate to
tear into a machine and set up a workbench there.

>> I saw the food sign up sheet, and saw there is the local accomodations
overnight. How late to people usually stay up?

Very.
