Vintage Computer Fest Midwest

[JohnBuell]

I want to start out saying that I have NOTHING to do with the team that's officially putting this together, but I AM VERY VERY tempted to try to take a lot of Atari 8-bit/Lynx (and Jaguar if I can find it) stuff to display. Is anybody interested in trying to set up a booth or two?

 

Even if you can't, or just can't make it, I'd like thoughts on what to exhibit. And sure I could fill up a table with old issues of Antic, my 800XL, my dad's 800, an XEGS, floppy drives, cartridge games, but what do people REALLY want to see?

 

Oh and for the interested, the website www.vcfmw.org should go live (instead of just being a redirect) later this summer, and they have a Facebook group already.

It was pointed out to me today that www.vcfmw.org is dead. So if you want, watch http://chiclassiccomp.org/ - which is what vcfmw.org had been redirecting to. And that page still has the link to the Facebook event page.

One final bump on this one, since the "official" http://vcfmw.org/ site is live as of this weekend.

Hey, don't look at me, I've got NOTHING to do with logistics except for getting my gear there to show off.
