I ventured to Knoxville, TN over the weekend for a small con. I think the official attendance was around 27 people. It was good! People came from DC, Chicago, Atlanta, Lexington, Philly, Virginia and Maine (That I remember). Overall it was a great time, and fun to be able to discuss technical topics with knowledgeable people.

Despite the torrential downpour and threat of tornado action, the meeting was still on. In attendance, starting counter-clockwise from my seating position, was Remad, Andrew, Telemnstr, Jody, and myself (enferex). It was a pretty chill meeting, lots of discussion. So, what did we talk about? Tunnels/caves/inner-earth dwellings of mega-coolness. And, of course, we talked about Sneakers, and the new Star-Trek. While, I have yet to see this movie, Jody pulled out a killer rant on Spock and the temporal association with the Beastie Boy’s. In fact, I suggest, even if not a fan of either of the aforementioned nouns, to check Jody’s rant. Well, it still seems that the meeting is listed at Lynnhaven still. The proper listing-authorities have been contacted. But that’s how we operate, super-elusive, after-all no one really reads these summaries anyways.

Whoops, I was wrong. The official 2600 site does have the proper information listed. So I guess we aren’t as elusive as I originally mentioned.
