    Happy New Year Everyone!


    While it seems odd to think of summer when it is so cold outside, putting together ALAPlay takes a good amount of work and planning. One area we would like to expand is digital gaming representation at the event. Bringing in digital in can be expensive, so we are looking for a creative start by hosting a petting zoo of devices for exploration at ALAPlay this year in Orlando. 


    We are looking for for volunteers who will be attending annual, and ALAPlay, who could bring and share devices the evening of the event. We were looking at featuring 2&3DS's and some tablets (iOS or Android). We would also like to explore phone related game experiences that can be played on mobile devices.


    If you plan on coming and can bring a device to share in the petting zoo, or if you have other ideas for an event at ALAPlay, please get in touch with me at: brianmayer00@gmail.com

    I'm so excited to find out we are in 2026 already! The future really does sneak up on you.

    In seriousness, I have a 3dsXL that I don't play enough so can/should be used here.
