Had a blast! Was great to hang out with people I've met at other VCF events, people I knew just online, and some new people as well!
Drive out there was about 14 hours from CT(did about 10 hours fist day and stopped in Milan, Ohio, and then the rest of the trip Friday)
Drive back was longer, but made more stops. Steve(Mac84), Eric's Edge, and myself went down to Ron(from Ron's Computer Videos)'s area after the show Sunday and spent monday with him, got a tour of his town in MO, and got to raid a stash of Mac related things he had. Left Tuesday morning, and visited Joe(Joe's Computer Museum on youtube) in Ohio(about an hour from Columbus), and hung out with him for a few hours. Drove another hour to one of the next major towns and stayed there. Then drove to NJ, stayed with a friend, and Steve picked up his treasures from my van. Then Thursday morning it was a nice quick drive back to CT. Spent quite a while on the road, but I love long road trips(have gone to Raleigh, NC a few times, Dallas twice for computer reset, Louisville KY, Montreal, and a few others), and had a chance to listen to some audio books
Photo gallery with my finds(Also a Mystic board, but didn't get a photo of that). Some stuff from the show, some stuff from Ron, the 128k was something Steve picked up for me a couple of months ago

Definitely had a great time, and will be back next year as well!
Also, VCF East in NJ is having a couple events, a swap meet Oct 8th, and the full event April 14th-16th, in Wall NJ.

edit: Also got to try a Chicago Pizza from Lou's and a Chicago Hotdog from Portillo's, both of which I really enjoyed
