Boston is all well and good and if MIT were to allow something, that would
be great, but I think it should be moved down 100-150 miles to allow a lot
of the collectors in NJ/PA/OH to come, this is why, I think CT is a very
good locale.

And then there's of course VCFe (5th issue coming up), always held
on the weekend closest to 1st of May (next time May 1st/2nd). It's
not to desirable to have both to close - next year it's already too
close (less than 4 weeks).
Also, Sallam, Boston in April migh still hold _snow_, something
not seen in your area of CA for a long time - no, I'm not talking
about a little bit of white stuff, but rather enugh and over more
than just a few hours - but beeing the well educated young man as
I know you are, you may have herared of.

c'mon... what about VCF central Sellam??
I suggest Yates Center, Kansas, maybe not world's smaltest MoN-town,
but with probably the one with highest classic computer to citizen
ratio in the world :)

Hey! Howsabout VCF-Not-So-West, here in Carson
City?? Or Reno....
Cool, we even don't need any artificial light, this place is known
to be lit up by iridium flares :)
OR - buy a couple of semi-trucks - VCF
Portable!!
John, you're realy advancing on your way to become a real Hick/Geek
crossover :) But yeah, come to think of it, the VCF Tour might
be a real interesting idea.

Vintage Canadian Festival?
