Ok, finally got confirmation so I can make this preliminary announcement.
VCF East 2.0 will be held either June 25-26 or July 16-17 at Sun
Microsystems's Burlington, Massachusetts, campus. Note: these dates are
FRIDAY and SATURDAY. A break from the traditional VCF weekend but one
that was necessitated by matters outside my control. At any rate, you
take a day off work and have all day Sunday to relax.
I'll hopefully have confirmed dates by the end of the week.
In the meantime, you can at least REGISTER AS AN EXHIBITOR:
http://www.vintage.org/2004/east/exhibit.php
(note: rules not yet updated)
...or perhaps you'd like to REGISTER AS A VENDOR:
http://www.vintage.org/2004/east/vendor.php
The event is being completely sponsored by Sun and will feature several
talks from Sun employees on various aspects of Sun's history. This event
is likely to be BIG. Possibly rivalling the main VCF in Sillycon Valley.
Sorry for the long delay but this is really a go now!

Sellam;
I'm really excited about VCF east. I am actually thinking I might be able to
make this one!
Just so you're aware though, you didn't have to doublepost to cctech, one
post to cctalk would have automatically gone to cctech as well :)

Wow, Sellam must really have awesome resources at his
disposal to be able to pull off getting a sponsor like
Sun! Dude, how'd you do it?

Ok, and I have friends like EVAN who are hard-working and resourceful.
Everyone can thank Evan for securing the venue by buying him a drink and
getting him stumble-around-the-bar-and-hit-on-every-lady(-pretty-or-not)
drunk at the VCF after party!

Will do.
I don't have any clue what I would bring as an exhibit at this
point. Something smallish - big computers are great fun, but hauling them
around is not much fun.

Oooh! Oooh! Mistah Kottah! Mistah Kottah! Can it be July 17th? That's my
birthday... maybe my wife will let me go! (or maybe she'll come with... who
knows???)
Granted, I'd have to take most of the week off to get there (quite a long
drive from Northern Michigan) but hey...

I'm actually thinking of driving there from St. Louis. In a van. With a big
trailer. To haul some trading material up there (some already spoken for by
listmembers!)
It's funny how much a single 11/45, laying on it's side, wrapped in plastic
& tarps, looks like a coffin. Scenes of National Lampoons Vacation movie
come to mind :)
Hey, I had offered some empty HP racks. Would this make it easier for people
to pick one up if I had them at VCF east? I hate pitching them :\

I have several of the exactly historically correct
racks for the 2100A
systems :) I have too many of them actually.
Haul one east! I have had a deracked 2100A system (disk and paper tape
reader/punch) for quite a few years now).
What 'cha want for it? Answer off list...
