  36. @kgagne That is so cool that he joined the KansasFest crowd. Sounds like a fun time.
  37. Still early Thursday night at Rockhurst and I'm already gassed. Deadly combination of Woz and age catching up to me. #a2kfest #phrasing
  38. Sweet16 3.0 debugging underway; there’ll be an update soon; thanks to the #a2kfest folks for bringing me their bug reports!
  39. #A2KFest Just beat Structris 10th level (with several continues). Awesome game. "Tourney Edition" will offer real challenge. @kansasfest
  40. #a2kfest We're all here at ozkfest, ready to Skype anyone who is willing
  41. Eric Rucker beat @carrington in final round of Structris tourney. Congrats! Huge Thanks to Michael Sternberg for running tourney. #a2kfest

  43. Added photos to KansasFest 2013.
  44. Just made it home safe from #a2kfest. Thanks everyone for a great @kansasfest. Time to start counting down to Kfest 2014.
  45. KansasFest 2013 winding down. Just the morning to go. Had a fantastic time. Best event of the year, bar none (sorry, colleagues!) :)
  46. Departing KansasFest for home. Was a great time, but got to return to reality!
  47. Waiting at the airport, the fantastic @kansasfest 2013 over. It’ll take a while for it all to sink in, but I’m ready for 2014. After a nap.
  48. @kirkemitchell Thank you again for your great #A2KFest summaries on comp.sys.apple2
  49. @kgagne bahahaha, tomorrow?? Pr’y will still be trying to dig out, but I’ll assess around 6pm. #A2KFest was a blast though. So little sleep.
  50. Hey #a2kfest and #ozkfest... don't forget to check out my little Apple IIgs demo from my talks. Cheers!  http://dagenbrock.com/kfest2013/kfest2013gs.zip 13/kfes…
  51. Back from #a2kfest with a freshly rebooted brain. Now, back to work...
  52. @stevewoz Thanks for visiting with us at KansasFest this year. Good times!
  53. @SquareNerd Thanks for keynoting and visiting with us at KansasFest this year. We had a great time and your keynote was excellent.
  54. @jeriellsworth we missed you at #a2kfest. Hopefully you can join us next year at Rockhurst when we party like it's 1980-something.
  55. @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.
  56. @kgagne @6502lane Congratulations both on your KFest awards, well deserved! Looking forward next Open Apple podcast episode :)
  57. @OlivierGuinart @kgagne Thanks, Olivier! I was shocked. Then honored. Then kinda hungry. Certainly, there were more deserviing candidates.
  58. Got a postcard from Kansasfest! Thanks ya'll, but why didn't Woz sign it? ; ) #a2kfest
  59. @markaufflick No kidding! Getting to see a real Apple 1 is great. A working one: amazing. To *use* it? Priceless! #a2kfest
