I think I'll spam for the Midwest Gaming Classic,
as last year's event
had a significant classic computing component. I enclose the info
for this year's show at the end of this month, as well as the
description posted by a list member last year, and my last
post-show memories.

Hi John, thanks. Yes, all the classic computing stuff is from my archive
every year (so's all the pre-NES console material). I'm a co-organizer
for the show, and I run the Museum area (huge hall). I post on here every
year normally asking for people to come and display, but it always gets
ignored. Maybe people think there's no room for retro-computing there
because of the name of the show (its always been equally dedicated to
classic computers, consoles, video-coin and pinball), or that there's to
many kids (average age is late 20's through 40's).
This year we will also have some of the Chicago Commodore show people
coming to display as well as a Tandy CoCo related area.
Midwest Gaming Classic
When:
Saturday Mar 29, 2008
at 10:00 AM
Actually, its that Saturday and Sunday (2 day show). 10-8 on Saturday,
and 10-5 on Sunday. 20,000 square feet (every bit of it used), and
usually pretty full of people (we had about 2400 in attendance over the 2
days last year).
Where::
Olympia Resort and Conference Center
1350 Royale Mile Road
Oconomowoc, Wisconsin|50 53066
United States
And for those not familiar, this is just 45 minutes outside of Milwaukee.
Its a major resort in the area, so anyone coming from out of town, its a
great place for a family (or spouse). My wife is coming and using the
spa all weekend (was just $10 for the entire room to use it last year).
That's my payment for being able to do this for the whole weekend and her
dealing with all my "stuff" monopolizing things things during that time
(though she calls it something other than stuff). ;)
