I am certainly with you on that, Marvin. I have exhibited at 8 or 9 VCFs (my first was
VCF 3) and was on the mailing list as recently as August 2023 (but apparently no more) and
only happened to see the event being discussed in this forum. Thanks to Wayne Sudol for
posting the information. Odd that a VCF finally comes to my home turf and this is the one
I only find out about two weeks in advance!

Note to those people too lazy to update their subject line... it is REALLY getting
tiresome looking for information about the SoCal VCF and finding not one post giving any
information about it let alone the multitude of posts seemingly with the subject line
"VCF SoCal"!!!
Sheesh!!! Kind of makes search totally (almost) useless.
I'm still not sure of the date(s) or location except that it is in February somewhere
in southern Orange County, CA USA.

I have looked at the website for the event and I am still not sure if there will be
consignment/sales area. Can anyone verify if there is going to be one or not? Thanks!

to the agenda! Meet with fellow enthusiasts in the Grand Foyer (opposite
the Registration Table) at one of our Meet-Ups - a mini-festival inside
Vintage Computer Festival SoCal. These are informal gatherings where you
can meet folks with a common interest or background, share stories and
exchange info.
VCF SOCAL SWAG
The official, inaugural VCF SoCal T-shirts arrived and they are RAD! Shirts
will be on sale during the show, along with VCF SoCal logo Ball Caps,
Stickers and fun 2-in-1 Screwdrivers that fit nicely into your trusty
pocket protector.
FREE TABLE
Been holding onto some old retro tech because "someone can use this!"?
That's what the Free Table in the Grand Foyer is for. Bring some goodies
along to leave on the Free Table. Check the table for that elusive
component you've been searching for. PRO TIP: Check the Free Table
throughout the show as it's always changing!
TICKETS
Thank You to those who have bought tickets already. If you haven't gotten
tickets, now's the time! We have a variety of ticket options

One last question:
Do kids get in free? If so what is the age cutoff? It looks like tickets are needed for
everyone but figure I would check just in case.

Hi Micki.
I'm passing along this message from Ali. Can you please help him?
I checked the website and verified that there is no obvious way to contact
anyone in the organization for regular communication. Forgive me if I
overlooked something.
Thank you.

Anybody successfully buy tickets? I tried and I get an error that check
out isn't working and to contact them. Of course like all good sites they
provide absolutely no way to contact them. If anyone has contact info that
would be great or if anyone knows that tickets can be purchased at the
door? Otherwise hard pass here. No way I am driving to the OC, in possible
SoCal rain traffic, without something a bit more solid....

Thanks Sellam.
Tickets can be purchased at the door. I’m sorry they’re having trouble. We’ve got a
constant stream of ticket purchases coming through. Perhaps try another browser or on
their mobile?
