Seems like you're an organizer of the thing. Trying to talk my wife into going with me. She can peruse the town while I geek out. Airline tickets are fair and I'm glad the venue is AT the airport, a short shuttle service from the gate. This will be my first time. Only learned about Tandy assembly a few months ago while watching Birt's video. Daniel sysop | Air & Wave BBS finger | calcmandan(a)bbs.erb.pw On Fri, 20 Mar 2026, Eric Dittman via cctalk wrote:

I would love to attend, but being Australian and being open about how I feel about the Trump regime on social media means I would not get into the country. Or I would be dissapeared after they finally accessed my socials. Looking forward to either an online option or one in Europe. Doug.

Every geography where people want to live no doubt grapples with how to manage the various ways people arrive at a geography, but I feel our current approach falls significantly short. As such, your approach would be my recommendation for anyone considering travel to the US at present. Outside of this concern, there are a number of reasons why someone might not be able to physically attend a show (illness, finances, limited mobility, etc.), and I also think it's important to memorialize the knowledge transfer that occurs at such an event. I know Tandy Assembly presentations are recorded, they may be streamed as well. I hope that helps at least a little bit. Obviously there is something special about the "touch" of physical presence, but hopefully we can share more and more of these events with those who could not attend in person.

All I said was wow. After removing the headers, the thread was printed. Laughter ensued in the office. Thanks for that. On March 23, 2026 3:40:13 AM PDT, Tony Jones via cctalk <cctalk(a)classiccmp.org> wrote:
