    From rbernardo@iglou.com@3:770/3 to All on Sun Dec 9 10:54:08 2018
    Greetings, C= and Ami comrades!

    The Southern California Commodore & Amiga Network will have three tables at the
    second annual Retro City Festival, taking place January 5-6, 2019 at the famous
    Fairplex, Expo Hall 9, 1101 W McKinley Ave. in Pomona, California (east of Los Angeles).

    We'll have various Commodore and Amiga computers for everyone to see and enjoy.
    Our three tables will be next to the Console Museum. Think of the Fest as a bigger Downtown Los Angeles Maker Faire! Set-up times are Thursday, Jan. 3, and Friday, Jan. 4,
    though we'll only need Friday to set up.

    Show dates:

    "Retro City Festival is an annual celebration dedicated to the history of video
    games, arcades and pinball. Come experience classic arcades, pinball, tournaments, a console play area, interactive museum, live music and more! We showcase the largest
    collection of vintage video game consoles in all of California!

    Retro City Festival aims to be a family-friendly event and welcomes attendees of all ages. Kids ages 10 and under even get in FREE! If you have any children under 10 who would like to attend, just bring them with you on the day of the event to check in
    with your paid general admission and they will be given a free pass for entry."
