[Coco] Virtual CoCoFest

[Steve Strowbridge]

Thank you for saying so Allen, coming from a guy who's been to multiple
Rainbow & CoCo FEST! that speaks volumes.

alert:  the video contains 6 hours of fast-paced, non-stop CoCo content!


We had a record attendance during the live broadcast peaking at almost 90
simultaneous viewers and as of this morning we're just shy of 400 views on
YouTube and I have no idea how many on Facebook.

So I'd say this event was on par with any of the recent real CoCoFEST!

I'm honored and grateful that many of us chose to make lemonade of the
pandemic situation and keep the spirit of the CoCo and CoCo community alive
and well.
