Patrick Finnegan set up a camera at the front of the festival where you could take a selfie, get a ticket with a code, and take it back to the back side of the festival to retrieve it via modem over the internal PSTN for the festival itself. Then print it on an industrial IBM dot matrix printer. Pretty cool, thanks for setting that up.

Recorded on Sunday September 10th, 2023 in Elmhurst, Illinois at Vintage Computer Festival Midwest #18
