Yep, he's gonna be there sharing a table with Sean from Action Retro, so looking forward to meeting both of them in person.

I saw on twitter TechKnight is on his way - you'll know it's him by the weather equipment

VCF was fun, met Mac84, Techknight, and a few other people that I knew online, and saw a few people I haven't seen in a while. Didn't have a chance to meet Sean, since the times I passed by the table there were other people talking to him, but seeing the "cursed SE/30" and other computers from his channel was cool.

The consignment area was a bit lacking this year vs the previous years, there was a TRS 80 model 4 for $100 which is a pretty good deal, but I'm trying to reduce the number of giant AIO computers I have so I passed(slightly regret it though)

They're apparently having the next one at the normal schedule in April, so looking forward to that. Definitely going to it.

Any pics of the event?

Any pics of the event?

I only took one picture of the event itself surprisingly. This is an Apple IIe with a PC card in it, running Windows 1.0.

I have what I think are all the pieces for a PC Transporter for the IIgs; I need to pull them all together and see if I can get it all running.

It was great to meet you! I'll totally plan on going to the April event next year. There were so many things to see and play with... thankfully I took a lot of photos and videos, so I'll be releasing something this week (better late than never!).

From what I understand the consignment area had different rules this time around. For previous events the room was only open at certain times. This time it was open from the start. This (if I heard correctly) also included Friday, which was when the shows started for the talks and such. So some things may have gone quickly.

However, I got there pretty early on Saturday and a lot of people were walking out with arms full of stuff. So I can assume that a bunch of things moved quickly as soon as they were put out... I know I grabbed a Power Macintosh 8600 the second it was put on a table!

That was a fun trip. I don't think I will be able to make it to east again this coming year though. I am going to try and shoot for midwest. but we will see...
