KansasFest 2014
The 26th annual Apple II convention, held July 22–27, 2014, at Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Missouri.
- Here's the best reason to attend KansasFest.
- The group was eager for their annual reunion.
- Got most of the computers (all but the RPi, really) set up at #A2KFest.
- Soon it was time for the first official session: the keynote speech by Margot Comstock, editor of Softalk Magazine.

- I wish I could've made @kansasfest this year. I bet there's a ton of wild Apple II's there running with their tops off.
- And tons of great sessions.
