Well gang, I’d call that a success. Nice to see some old friends again after my few years of absence. Left with a smaller load and had enough cash to pick up some cool records.
See you next time!
See you next time!

…and a giant thank you to everybody that helped me carry countless pieces of gear in and out of the place!!!
Another successful Frankenfest is in the books.
Much thanks to Jim for all his hard work, and thanks to everybody that continues to support.
It's nice to have Community.
My 15th year of attending, and it's always fun !

Thanks everyone for attending and supporting our event.
I have made donations to AK, World Central Kitchen and Doctors Without Borders.
I'd say our attendance this time was a bit more than average.
A few months back I got a message from an AKer in Los Angeles askinghow to put on a successful event.
I told him it all boiled down to building a community - something that we, starting way back with Frank we have been successful in doing.
We are lucky that these events are working out so well.
Bill informed me that the rent is going up for the next event by$50 but we are fine keeping the admission at $10.
Next event is Saturday October 17th 2026.
Keep on rockin'!

That was fun! Thanks again to everyone involved in the logistics and those who schlepped stuff to sell and demo. A special shout out to folks that brought food and kept the gang fed. So many great choices.....including what seemed like a metric ton of pizza.
See you all in the Fall. Until then, stay frosty.

A school friend of my daughter just bought her first home and had a turntable on her list of housewarming gifts. Her cheapo bt table had gotten broken in her move. For less than the price of the TT on Amazon I was able to put together this neat little system all from the fest. Hopefully another wayward youth saved from the wretched clutches of bluetooth and wireless speakers and set straight on the road to real old honest to goodness HiFi.

Is your "Mock Duck" handle a nod to the old band out of Vancouver?
Thanks for sharing - that's wonderful!

No, although I do actually have the CD from them available, it's based on the Seitan meat substitute.
