Vintage Computer Festival comes to Chicago!
The fifth edition of VCF Midwest will take place in Chicago (OK, Lombard is
a suburb) this fall - join us on September 18 in conjunction with ECCC as we
once again coax vintage electrons into motion.
The show will run from 8:00 AM on Saturday on into the night, coming to an
official close at 1:00 AM Sunday morning. Early setup will be available on
Friday evening from 5-6:30 PM, at which time the exhibition area will be
locked until the show opens on Saturday morning.
In addition to exhibitions of eclectic electronica, we will feature
speakers, vendors and a Vince Briel workshop (come ready to homebrew!).
Admission is FREE to all whether you come to show, look, build, talk or
sell.
Exhibitor and session info to follow shortly, but save the date NOW!
Join us!

Presumably, in the near future, VCF Midwest will appear on
http://www.vintage.org/events.php ... why the UK crew didn't also use
the traditional VCF site is beyond me.

Yeah, shame on you Jason for providing content that not everyone can
access!

I guess people didn't read the words "also" and (paraphrasing) "for
those on facebook". This is extra info, not the primary/final info.

It's always boggled my brain, too. I know there are a couple of listmembers
who are far more actively involved with the museum than I can be, so hopefully
one of them can set the record straight!
I do remember there was quite a narrow window of time in which to get the UK
event off the ground in order to run it this year, so quite possibly that had
something to do with it.
