Join us on Saturday, July 25th, in a celebration of the amazing Amiga. Our party will feature an evening of epic Amiga Fun. The event will be a banquet with feature speakers, panel discussion, historical artifact displays, and more. The main event for the banquet will be a panel discussion of original Amiga developers including: Dale Luck Carl Sassenrath Dave Needle RJ Mical Plus more The panel topics will cover start-up life in 1985, building the Amiga 1000, and how the Amiga influenced technology over the last 30 years.

Nebulon Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Is there a way to contribute to the California Kickstarter using PayPal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sm3 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I don't think PayPal is a valid form of payment for Kickstarter. They charge your credit card when/if the project reaches it's funding goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebulon Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Credit card it is then. On a different note, it would be cool if Joe Decuir was added to the discussion panel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+OLD CS1 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I got my banquet and exhibition tickets, flight and hotel. Not bad over-all, but still a bit out of my budget so I am going to be working quite a bit extra. The hotel is stumbling distance from the museum, so that works out well.

It is actually the Hilton Garden Inn, about 3 and a-half miles from the event -- still a cheap cab ride if necessary.

+OLD CS1 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 It occurs to me that the Kickstarter campaign for Amiga30 is not completely funded... I am pretty certain my tickets cannot be cancelled, so SPREAD THE WORD, FOLKS!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Kickstarter hits $20K, the event will be funded (at its minimum level). > I am pretty certain my tickets cannot be cancelled... Oh-oh, do you mean your plane and/or hotel tickets? > ...so SPREAD THE WORD, FOLKS!! Amen to that!

Yes, she even built a prototype Amiga DTV joystick (like the C64 DTV 30-games-in-one joystick that was produced). However, that prototype never made it into production.

RobertB Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 News from Tekmage in the latest Kickstarter update -- "The big news I’m happy to share is that we will have a two day exhibit hall. You will recall that the kickstarter had a stretch goal to to expand the banquet to include a two day hall. We missed that goal during the kickstarter but a sponsor stepped up so we can expand the event." (snip) "We are also going to be releasing more tickets for sale. These tickets will come in the form of a $100 for the banquet, $40 for two days of exhibit hall, $20 for one day, and $60 for a family pass."
