I’m going to be running the Providence Geeks table at AS220′s Foo Fest (not to be confused with FOO), an all-day free block party in downtown Providence tomorrow (Saturday, July 15th 2006). It starts at 12am and goes late, so you have all day to check it out. I’ll probably have the table up until 5pm or so, and I’ll be giving away copies of Retro Gaming Hacks to people who can make high scores in whatever retro games I happen to have set up!

It can do real work in a novel way.”
