Just watched Randy Wigginton keynote at KansasFest, followed by Q&A with him and Woz. Apple II fans not at KFest are seriously missing out.

Tony is doing his Retro Roadshow. Two very early Rev A #Apple //e's & a ventless original II evaluated so far. #a2kfest

Watching @y816 look at old and random Apple II hardware people brought in for him to identify. Interesting stuff! #a2kfest

@y816 Tony's Retro RoadShow: Apple software cassette from Microsoft w/ their Albuquerque street address. #a2kfest

@y816 Tony's Retro RoadShow: Apple II "Blue Book" with reference card still intact. Perfect condition. #a2kfest

@y816 Tony's Retro RoadShow: original copy of rare "adult" game Interlude. #a2kfest

Appropriate nerd tittering with that last one. (And a double entendre in this one.) #a2kfest

#a2kfest is my favorite time of the year. Yeah, it’s nerdy, but MAN it’s fun. Such a great year so far, too. Lots of great action!

@y816 Tony's Retro RoadShow: initial run Apple II advertising brochure with first cover. #a2kfest

Morning sessions are packed at KansasFest. Probably something to do with @stevewoz and @SquareNerd being on hand. #a2kfest

I wanted to hear the phrase “Please practice safe hex.” #a2kfest

Now to learn more about the Raspberry Pi. We have a great mix of stuff here! We're not just about retro! #a2kfest

Still early Thursday night at Rockhurst and I'm already gassed. Deadly combination of Woz and age catching up to me. #a2kfest #phrasing

Sweet16 3.0 debugging underway; there’ll be an update soon; thanks to the #a2kfest folks for bringing me their bug reports!

#A2KFest Just beat Structris 10th level (with several continues). Awesome game. "Tourney Edition" will offer real challenge. @KansasFest

Call-A.P.P.L.E.@callapple

@sheppy Keep up the great work. Looking forward to the update #a2kfest

#a2kfest We're all here at ozkfest, ready to Skype anyone who is willing

And now #A2KFest is over for me.

@jeriellsworth we missed you at #a2kfest. Hopefully you can join us next year at Rockhurst when we party like it's 1980-something.

@yesterbits @kansasfest What is the attendance like?

Yesterbits @yesterbits

@deliciousgames @kansasfest I don’t know exactly, but kind of a lot. I’d say about 60 people were there, mostly for the whole time.

Home from KansasFest! #a2kfest

@markaufflick No kidding! Getting to see a real Apple 1 is great. A working one: amazing. To *use* it? Priceless! #a2kfest
