Every SuperMeet seems better than the one before and here’s the evidence: this year’s Las Vegas Final Cut Pro Network’s SuperMeet sold out early, although the web site indicates that more tickets may be added at the last moment. With a mystery guest presentation and a sneak peek at something special, lucky ticket holders will be there to celebrate 10 years of successful Final Cut Pro Network SuperMeets on April 12 at Balley’s during NAB.

On May 14 – 15 travel back and enjoy fun memories at the InfoAge Science Center in Wall, New Jersey. Remember punch cards or hacking BASIC? Were you able to survive on the Oregon Trail? How long ago did your group abandon its BBS? Well, the Vintage Computer Festival will feature more than 20 hands-on exhibits, lectures, consignment booths, a build-your-own circuit workshop, museum tours, food, prizes and the usual nerdy tee shirts: two days of fun!
Remember.
Over this weekend the Portland Macintosh Users Group (PMUG) will provide a weekend of friendship, learning and group renewal in the beauty and tranquility of Silver Falls State Park (Oregon). Run as a not-for-profit event, PMUG uses any funds earned to make the next MacCamp even better. President Charles DeVore and PMUG members deserve thanks for providing this wonderful continuing resource to their group members and the user group community. Better yet, check out the Oregon MacPioneers User Group’s MacCamp movie trailer and information page, courtesy of past Apple User Group Regional Liaison Steve Welsh.

Regional Liaison Graeme Moffatt reports that pipers and drummers from across New Zealand joined for a charity concert in support of earthquake relief in Christchurch. As part of the fundraiser, the group is selling DVDs of the concert via the web. Their PAL format disks will, of course, play well on your Mac. It is wonderful to see groups and members across the globe join together to help others in New Zealand, Japan, and where there are folk in need.

On March 24, the officers of the North Coast Macintosh Users Group of California (NCMUG) voted to support Japanese relief efforts by donating $500 to the Red Cross. In addition, the group sent out a mailing reminding others that donations can be made via iTunes and Google for those willing to join them in support. Kudos to the officers of NCMUG for this excellent reminder that we all share a single world.
