I've got good news, and maybe-bad-news, depending on where you're located.<br>
<br>
The good news is: Atari Party 2014 has been scheduled, and planning is<br>
under way! It will be held on Saturday, June 14th from 10am-4pm.<br>
<br>
The 'other' news is: This year, Atari Party will be held at the<br>
public library in Sunnyvale (in Silicon Valley) -- the home of<br>
Atari, Inc. in the 1970s, through Atari Corp. into the early 1990s!<br>
<br>
I realize that's very far from the Davis/Sacramento area, though on the<br>
other hand, many of the volunteers who helped at past Atari Parties have<br>
come from the Bay Area, so it might actually be _closer_ to many of them! ;)<br>
<br>
It's also a great opportunity to "take Atari Party on the road" once again;<br>
the 2012 event was held in Sunnyvale, too! And, as with the 2012 event,<br>
we're getting help from the fine folks at the Digital Game Museum<br>
(<a href="http://www.digitalgamemuseum.org/" target="_blank">http://www.digitalgamemuseum.org/</a>)<br>
<br>
This year's event will include a lot of what we've had in the past --<br>
game consoles & computers from Atari and some other manufacturers -- along<br>
with guest speakers and real arcade games!<br>
<br>
<br>
In the next few weeks, I'll be coordinating with the library (who are<br>
working on a 'program' for the event, at this very moment), the folks<br>
at DGM, and Atari Party volunteers. Once we are sync'd up and<br>
have something concrete that we can all announce, I'll post more to these<br>
lists.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
