    Dallas/Ft Worth Metroplex Area Events Outside VCF?

    Hello, I live in North Dallas, and with VCF SW coming up this weekend, it got me thinking. Are there any clubs or swap meets or any other local events that happen during the rest of the year? I'm vaguely aware that something exists (I believe David Murray's mentioned it on one of his videos)...

I'm really interested, since I don't have any vintage (pre-Intel) Macs and it seems like a very interesting way to start.
