--- The tone here seems awfully heavy-handed. My personal opinion is that a singular entity running your festival remotely- particularly with local folks doing most of the leg work- is of dubious value. It will almost certainly limit the diversity and creative charm of such events, if not now then in the future. And it's simply more work for organizers to comply with... *So Mike, to summarize-- go ahead and do your own show your own way*-- just don't use Evan's fraternity letters if you do so. Or work with Evan to use the name "Vintage Computer Festival," if you see your event's value as contingent on that banner. I think it's great that you want to start a vintage computing event in Oklahoma, and would gladly toss you a small donation to help see it come to fruition.
