Well, for anyone needing their vintage computing fix now, the Midwest Gaming
Classic is less than a month away (March 21st-22nd). We're busting at the
seams at 22,000 sq. ft. and as always, we have a large support area for
vintage computing. Likewise, the ECCC people will be running a specialized
Commodore area again this year, and we have a TI99/4a contingent joining us
to run a special area as well.
Here's pics from this last year's show if anyone is interested:

Located in the Milwaukee area at the Olympia Resort (so wives have something
to do as well).

The Chicago Classic Computing
(http://chiclassiccomp.org/) group is going
to be hosting the VCF Midwest this year at some point. The original plan was
to host it earlier in the year, but due to scheduling concerns, we have
decided to come up with a new date later 2009. We are still in the planning
mode, but I anticipate we will come up with a venue somewhere in the
Chicagoland/suburb area. Keep posted, we will for sure share more details
as they become available.

Hi All,
Has there been any dates for VCF's this year?
Not sure - Sellam hinted at a January one in Chicago, but I don't think
that happened :-) (at least I don't remember any mention of it on here)
Hopefully Chicago's a recurring venue, as I suspect it'd be the closest
one to me, and I do stand something of a chance of making it along with some
goodies once I get them shipped over...
