I am planning to create a youtube session for the Faire. However, you will miss the activities and Faire only releases that are being developed from various people. Looking forward to seeing people in person again to make a great event this year.

I was able to get a still picture from the movie I made of the group shots at the Faire.

Doors open to the library at 9am. The live stream will start as soon as I can get the equipment unpacked and running. Presentation will start shortly after that. Should be an action packed day filled with lots of presentation I hear from Hal.

The 40th annual Chicago TI International World Faire will kick off with the usual Friday night dinner, held this year at the Mt. Everest restaurant, 630 Church Street, Evanston, Illinois, beginning at 6 p.m. on October 28. The restaurant is located just across the street from the main entrance to the Evanston Public Library. Parking is available in the lot to the east of the library.

Listen guys. My dad (hal) does not have an atariage account. He has posted info to fb where he has access to. The club website is still being updated with current info. Because info is currently changing rapidly because of covid protocols at the event site we are still updating info on the club site. I am the one who will host/ put the the webcast on our YouTube channel of the event and do monitor this website/ forum and see all of the post. I will relay info to the group. The event is still at the Evanston Il public library where it has been for the last few years. I will post a link for people to follow if you want to see the stream when it get closer to the date. Please reach out to my dad @ his email hals12@hotmail.com if you would like to be to present something or for more information directly from the the event coordinator. Hope to see all at the Ti faire! John.

I Just saw this, I don't have any news. I also talked with my my dad, last time he talked to Berry was back in January.

The closest arcade cabinet I have seen with an actual TI system is all of the educational stations down at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. They used a bunch of push buttons to interact with the console. I think you still can find some of them working today too.

The 2020 Chicago Virtual Faire will be presented on Saturday, October 24th, starting at 10:00 A.M. Central Standard Time, USA, at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLTtWUO1syCerK4cPjOjPjg?fbclid=IwAR3XhZX1oP8ypVs6vR9FcxDp6FYM7UkbzCvWm3pM2yMSne2k0apezZJpxnM

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic the Chicago TI User Group has decided that the Chicago TI International World Faire will be held online this year, rather than in person. Accordingly, we are now soliciting presentations in video form, to be presented at the virtual Faire. At this time we would like to ascertain what interest this is in the TI community. Anyone who has the desire to produce a video on a TI topic should send a private message to hals12@hotmail.com in the next few days indicating the nature of the presentation, and we will get in touch with you with the details we require. Thanks in advance. —The Faire committee

It is easier to manage. Hal (my dad) does not have an Atariage account, so I have been posting for him to try to help put together a virtual Faire for the group this year. He would like anyone that would like to present something to email him so he can put the presenter schedule together. We will post details on how to attend at a later date. --John

The Chicago TI User Group just received word from the Evanston Public Library that the space in which the Chicago TI International World Faire is ordinarily held will be unavailable until next year. We had reserved the room almost one year ago, but due to COVID 19, all activities at the Library are now cancelled. We are, therefore exploring the idea of having a virtual Faire this year. We would like to assess the interest in such an event, and further, who would be interested in presenting a seminar, either with a video, or possibly live, albeit remotely. I would appreciate a response in private mail to hals12 @hotmail.com as soon as possible. The date for the virtual Faire remains as previously published, October 24, 2020. —Hal Shanafield, CTIUG Faire Chairman
