I go into a mini-hibernation/decompression after the show's over and have been lax in posting follow-up info. We do have quite a few picture galleries and walk-through videos coming in, which I have posted here: http://vcfmw.org/past.html Unfortunately, a few of them are Facebook galleries that aren't set to "Public" permissions, so those not on FB can't see them. I need to remind the posters to fix that. The brief wrap-up is that the show went great, attendance was up, the place was packed, we weathered losing an entire 900sqft room three days before the show started (won't let _that_ happen again...) and everyone got along fine in the closer quarters. The speakers really classed up the place with some hearty academic topics and a real live Commodore engineer (C= fanboys rejoiced!) We had a dedicated A/V guy (not on this list but thanks Jim!) with a quality camera and audio setup and YouTube videos of all the talks are being rendered as I write this. We should see them arriving on the VCFMW channel over the next week: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu3UDdi0llxiSaFKq-p5gYQ There are a few shirts left, but only in sizes S/M/L. I'll post counts for those soon. I agree with Jay, the cross-platform interaction and general camaraderie of this year's show really stood out. It was great to see new faces and old mixing it up, talking shop, trading gear and making plans. That's what it's all about. Big thanks to everyone who contributed, attended, presented, got the word out and generally encouraged us to keep this thing going. The handshakes (minus the one I caught this cold from...Purell at the table next year) and thanks make it worthwhile. -j
