graywest Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) Maybe I'm the only one, but I just love finding this type of ephemera. I bought a lot of Atari 8-bit docs/books/magazines on Ebay that came from an estate sale. Stuffed into one of the books was this mailer for an open house gathering of the Pittsburgh Atari Computer Enthusiasts (P.A.C.E.) to be held December 14, 1987. I would have liked to go, but I've never lived anywhere near Pittsburgh. Also, I was 9 years old at the time. ? Did anyone here happen to attend?

gilsaluki Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 That Flyer is awesome. Look at all those fonts/sizes! Someone hand wrote "Free Admission" on it. I am sure someone pointed that out to him as an afterthought to attract more folks to come to the meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atarian1 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I wish I could have attended the Atari shows too when I was young. The problem in my area (SF Bay Area - Atari's headquarters) was that the organizers always chose a location in the middle of nowhere. (Sorry, but San Jose/Santa Clara was considered "nowhere") Since I wasn't old enough to drive, I had no way of getting there without begging someone to drive me. If only the organizers would have been more considerate and picked a venue near public transit, I bet they would have had even more attendance (like me ). Yeah, I hold a little grudge. Great find though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in California so didn't attended. I did graduate high school that year though, and think I was working at Sierra Online at that time. Enjoy your treasure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
