First MAGFest (Music and Games Festival) was phenomenal thanks to all these people! ❤️🎮🎶 I got to see some performances, panels, and meet tons of new people. I also got to jam a lot, which was extremely fun! Will hopefully make it back next year!

What a great way to spend my birthday last Friday! I got to play video game music with the Twin Cities Gamer Symphony Orchestra and got to see all the hard work done by my fellow officers and me come to fruition. I even got happy birthday played to me by an orchestra for the first time! 😂

Panel done! ✅ So good to share the stage with these people (missing you Myrna, @brohannesjahms.bsky.social, and Steven). They had such good insights, and it was awesome engaging everyone in the audience!
