       @powerbook5300 Hey, do you know where to rent a capsule vending machine in Winnipeg?As you may know, the North American Science Fiction Convention is being held in your fair city in a few weeks' time. I've volunteered to run Static Exhibits, which means I get to put up an exhibit of my own if I want to. If my "payphone video theatre" works out, I think I want to have a gimmick to dispense a couple of the old Deutsche Mark coins the payphones accept, plus a sticker, in exchange for a loonie.

       @publius Hmmm, not off the top of my head.  Most of the vending places I knew are long out of business.  Haven't seen a capsule machine in the grocery stores or malls in ages (but truthfully wouldn't be looking either lol).The Duck gave me this link but seems to be mostly food vending:https://www.vendingconnection.com/yellow-pages/yp-vendingmanitoba-machines-companies/

       @powerbook5300 I guess I should call around to the various party warehouses and so on, see what they say.This is the convention, by the way, in case you're interested.https://main.pemmi-con.ca/

       @publius Cool, Linda Ross-Mansfield is a friend of a friend.  She and her husband used to run the local RPG shop where I spent my teenage years (and money).

       @powerbook5300 Yes, John passed away a little over a week ago. Apparently the funeral service, the other day, was recorded so you can watch if you choose to.https://kevin-standlee.dreamwidth.org/2233034.html
