UK VCF or equivalent

I don't know how many people feel as I do, but I would not attend a VCF that Sellam was not a part of. He has put a great deal of time and money into promoting this event, and for someone to feel they can dogtail onto his work without his permission is just something I would not support. And the feeling that the wheel needs to be reinvented when Sellam has made it very clear he would support anyone wanting to put on a VCF, is beyond my understanding. And that said, how many people will be attending this years VCF at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View? I have very much enjoyed being able to put faces with names, and it is a great social event as well as being educational! Since I have a great deal of stuff to sell, I plan on bringing as much as I can with me :). It will be *wonderful* when I get the workbenches cleared off and I have enough time and room to work with this stuff again.
