Geekfest 2005 Just what the hell is a Geekfest, anyway? Well, for July 4, 2001, about 15 people decided it was well worth putting up with my snoring and sleep on David Holloway's floor in Arlington, Va., to photograph Independence Day on the National Mall. (Yes, the snoring is pretty bad. So bad, in fact, that Eric Larson has audio of it, somewhere. I woke up with a microphone in my face and his giant self kneeling over me.) It was done again in 2003 in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale area when another litter of APAD members slept on Melissa Lyttle's hardwood floor just off of Las Olas Boulevard in Ft. Lauderdale. This year it's going to be in Austin, Texas. And it's organized. Geekfest2005, so far, will have more than 40 attendees and speakers, not to mention a catered dinner one of the nights. Big thank you to Web designer Jen Friedberg and coordinators Nicole Fruge, Lisa Krantz and Julia Robinson who have been working amazingly hard to get everything together for you guys, and Chip Litherland who has coordinated everything long distance from Sarasota, Fla.
