JamesD Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 They are going to be changing the date of CoCoFest thanks to current restrictions/issues. Lets hope this year's fest doesn't meet the same fate as last year's fest. You can find details at the link below. I've never been to a CoCoFest myself, but it sounds like a lot of fun. https://www.glensideccc.com/the-29th-annual-last-chicago-cocofest-is-moving/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My normal (pre Covid) routine was Cocofest and VCF East in the spring and VCF MidWest and Tandy Assembly in the fall. Coincidently Cocofest and VCF MidWest are both in Chicago Land and are only a few miles aopart. I stay at the same Motel for both in Naperville Edited February 22, 2021 by rietveld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I go I'd probably drive and some of us could car pool. There's at least 3 of us that would be along the same route. VCF MidWest might actually appeal to me more since I "play" with several old computers. Atari, Apple II, Plus/4... I've even ported some BASIC to the C64. I felt dirty afterwards but I did it.

VCF midwest is awesome since the same club that holds cocofest also setsup a table at VCF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo-Torch Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I'm glad to hear Tandy Assembly is back on this year in Ohio. I'm not into the CoCo, but if there's issues with Chicago, why not just move it 30 minutes east into Indiana? We only had a few weeks of inconveniences during the height, but business has actually been booming since this time last year due to all the FIPs coming here to shop at the malls, get haircuts, go to restaurants etc. We don't even have a mask mandate anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
