VCF Midwest 2023 was this weekend and several of us were lucky enough to get to go.
It was a great show and SouthernAmis has a message thread with a lot of cool pictures.
Check it out! :)
PS The Atari presence was much, much better this year!

Nice pics, I wish we had more events like this in the UK.
I'm glad we now have Cyber Legends, but it's once again not practical for me to go :( Maybe next year.

I'm so jealous! I was planning on going this year until I realized it conflicted with my wife's trip to Zurich with her sisters.....
Would love to add to the Atari presence!
Thanks for sharing the photos.

Re: VCF Midwest 2023 (pictures!)
No problem - maybe next year? We're planning on making this a yearly thing.
We went in 2021 and had planned on it last year but for various reasons things
fell through to the point that I was the only one still going from our little group
and I really didn't want to be there alone so I cancelled too.
Things obviously worked out great this year though...! :)

That looked like a fun gathering with quite a few interesting exhibits.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.
