But make it *good* beer - or it's beneath my notice. <flame-on!>

Subject: Re: Anyone off to VCF-UK
And I'm telling you that in all my VCF experience,
including as the *
organizer * of four very successful editions, I've found that people
(attendees and exhibitors alike) go because they relish the community
aspects. Sure it's fun to show off your exhibit, but most people get the
most kicks from meeting their fellow collectors, etc.
Like any show - computers, cars, dogs, model trains, stamps, sex toys
- always far more social than stuff-oriented.
Sure, the "stuff" is important, but I would bet you could hold a very
good VCF with *nobody* bringing *any* machines.
Just make sure you get enough pizzas and beer.
