Welcome to Show 0032! Recorded live at Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Missouri, this episode of A2Unplugged fills us in on the happenings at the in-progress KansasFest 2009, recording with an open microphone and in the A2Central.com irc chat room. Guests this episode include Andy Molloy from Juiced.GS magazine and the KansasFest committee, noted Apple II programmer and owner and operator of Syndicomm Eric Shepherd, and official KansasFest Tweeter Kirk Mitchell.

This KansasFest was filled to the brim with 25 sessions, including after dinner and two session tracks on Saturday, including Vince Briel’s Replica-1 workshop. It was also filled with new attendees (20% of attendees were first time KFesters) and new products (including the Apple II VGA Card, Sweet 16 2.0 and 2.1, two new NDAs and four new CD-ROM projects from Sheppy,a new Marinetti FAQ and two new DAs from A2Unplugged’s own Ryan Suenaga, a wall calendar and a new volume from Juiced.GS, and a MP3 player prototype by Vince Briel. KansasFest was being Tweeted and otherwise reported on by Kirk Mitchell. Also discussed were the keynote by Jason Scott of Textfiles.com and Ivan’s IIe card session.

I was hoping to get up a new, long overdue episode up before leaving Honolulu, but that did not happen. However, I am indeed at Rockhurst University for KansasFest 2009, sitting near Eric “Sheppy” Shepherd and Kirk Mitchell.
