OK. Now that VCF East is over. It's time for all of us to take a break,
relax and celebrate the year in vintage computing! We only had a virtual
Festivus last year, so we have to make up for the "lost" year ;)

START: Saturday, December 11 at 10AM
END: Sunday, December 12 at 5PM
ANNUAL VCF MA Town Hall: December 11 at 8PM

FYI: The Steering Committee, myself and Corey will be making our annual VCF
Mid-Atlantic Town Hall at 8PM to review what has been going on, and what
our plans are and to answer any questions by members.

WHERE:
9010-C = Cafeteria where we will eat and drink.
9010-C = Mini Festivus Swap Meet where we can buy and sell
9010-C = Game room across from cafeteria
9059 = Festivus Repair workshop

COST:
$20 per person covers the whole event
$25 per person per night for overnight stay

Buy tickets through Eventbrite:
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/festivus-2021-tickets-194874814817 If you want
to pay at the door, then you also have that option. I can have the iPad
ready to take cash or credit, etc.

I will be doing the traditional burger and hot dog grilling outside.
VCF will be buying soft drinks.
Ian will be bringing his vintage video games.

Everyone brings a food or beverage item.
Here is the potluck signup sheet for food and drinks:

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.

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.
