VCF East in 2004? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

19 Nov 2003

I agree. Which is why I suggested Trinity College or somewhere in Stamford.
Anything else closer to NYC proper would be too expensive.

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.

  Well, how about VCF, eh?  (in Canada!) ;-)

 Vintage Canadian Festival?

  > OR - shutup! 
 Err... I guess I better do so :)
