Hi Commodore Fans,

This month marks the 30th birthday for the Commodore SX-64.  Our good friend Berry DeJager has organized a global party for January 20 which coincides perfectly with our Puget Sound Commodore Users Group in Seattle, Washington.

Members from our sister club, the Portland Commodore Users Group, will be joining with us and celebrating this Commodore milestone.  We'll start the event off at the Houghton II Starbucks at 10:00 a.m. and then move on to our regular club events at Kent Sullivan's Home (where we've had gatherings in the past).

It will be a fantastic event, displacing all those hipsters with their iStuff - we have about 12 confirmations so far for invading Starbucks with SX-64s.  Even if you don't have an SX-64, come anyway.  Maybe even bring a regular C64.  We'll have an Internet bridge so we can get on their free Wi-fi with our Internet devices (Comet64, etc.).

For more information about the Commodore SX-64 Party, please see the following links:

Time and Location:
Sunday, January 20, 2012 10:00am - 9:00pm
Houghton II Starbucks
6733 108th Ave NE
Kirkland, WA 98033

If you can't make the Starbucks SX-64 party, you can still join us at Kent's house later in the day.  For his location information, please email me.

Happy Birthday, Commodore SX-64!

Our good friend Berry DeJager has organized a global party for January 20 which coincides perfectly with our Puget Sound Commodore Users Group in Seattle, Washington.

Checking at Berry's blog at http://c64.berrydejager.com , I found that more clubs/people are joining in on the celebration tomorrow.  In addition to Berry's group in the Netherlands, the Fresno Commodore User Group, the Portland Commodore User Group, and the Puget Sound Commodore User Group, the Toronto PET User Group, the Central Texas Amiga Computer Society, and users in France are joining in.  Wow!

          What an international shindig!
