If the New Jersey Fest that Ed and I attended (to kick off UltiMusE-III)  
after driving across PA in a blizzard, was in winter of 89-90, then the Atlanta  
Fest we hit would indeed have been '90.  It was the only Atlanta Fest I  ever 
attended.
 
The best part of it was being picked up at the Atlanta airport by none  other 
than Al Dages, in his pickup truck with 2/60 A/C.  And to help  with the 
cooling, he handed me a cold Bud while tearing along the Atlanta  Beltway.  And we 
talked MIDI music the whole trip.  Great time.
 
Frank, I remember seeing you at several Fests.  Always enjoyed  chatting with 
you.
 
I hope I'm not confusing this with our launch of UltiMusE-K for the  MM/1.  I 
remember that taking place in a big hotel with a fancy ballroom,  which 
wouldn't be a Chicago Fest except for the first one that was held in the  same 
Hyatt as the Rainbowfests had been.  ISTR Glenside (GCCC) used that  venue just 
once, then moved out to the Elgin motel to save money.
