Way to go Bill. :) Congratulations on the success. I saw the brief mention in the SN&R this week but was unable to attend.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Mar 29, 2009 at 6:54 PM, Bill Kendrick <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nbs@sonic.net">nbs@sonic.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

So I held my Atari Party at the Davis Library last night.<br>
Thanks for letting me borrow LUGOD's projector!<br>
<br>
Something like 50+ people showed up. We devoured 9 pizzas, a batch of<br>
'pixel' cookies, and a Pac-Man cupcake cake from Cupcake Cravings in Sac.<br>
<br>
I counted at least 14 game systems and TVs/montiors set up and running<br>
simultaneously. (Good to know the Library's power can manage it.<br>
Alex: Intallfest? ;^) ) A total of 5 or 6 people brought systems.<br>
<br>
The event was mentioned in the Davis Enterprise on Wed and Fri, and<br>
apparently a reporter was there with a camera (dunno how I missed him! [*])<br>
so I'm guessing the event will be written up some time this week...?!<br>
<br>
In the meantime, I and a few others took some photos of the fun, which you<br>
can see here:<br>

More than a few LUGOD regulars (and LUGOD folks from ages ago) showed up. :)<br>

[*] No, I wasn't too busy playing games. In fact, I was actually too busy<br>
doing everything else to even PLAY any games! :^P<br>
