[Coco] Virtual CoCoFest

[Steve Strowbridge]

Glad everyone got something out of it, I love all the references to
"inside" content, how "in" one is to something is a very relative and
subjective term.

I've never seen a single episode of the 'Big Bang Theory' and I hear people
making references all the time, but somehow, I can usually "get" something
people with shared understanding tout fairly quickly.

For a show that's been running weekly for 3 years now, we have our own
lexicon of self deprecating humor that we use to have fun at the expense of
our regulars as running gags, but, most of what we talk about is what's
going on daily in the community, and the critical mass of community
activity continues to grow.

If you're feeling outside, that could be a sign you're not quite as
connected, the great thing about a hobby like this is, there aren't any
'minimum involvement requirements', however being weekly, and live, we try
to be on the bleeding edge of what the communities doing.  There's no
better time than quarantine time to catch up on 156 episodes that cover
everything that's premiered and happened in the CoCo world these past 3
years, we're also available audio and video podcasts on your favorite app.

I've also invited, on more occasions than I can recall to have everyone and
anyone join us, we love hearing from new people, hearing their back
stories, learn about what they're doing today with or without a CoCo, what
their favorite memories are, what new things they're excited about, etc.
You've got a story, we'd love to hear it.

This is the community's show, and it continues to evolve and improve with
additional input, involvement, and feedback, we invite each and everyone
one of you to join us, reach out to me if interested.
