Vintage Computer Festival Midwest

Post by coonsgm »

I had the opportunity in 2024 to attend and display at VCF Midwest (in Chicago) for the first time. I had 1 table focused on the Atari ST --> Falcon computers and it was fantastic to meet so many Atari fans and people interested in learning about them for the first time.

It was a wonderful experience....I wish I had the time to participate in more of these. The Cyber-Legends events sounds super awesome...maybe someday I'll find myself on that side of the Atlantic at the right time.

This year I'm going back to VCFMW and adding a 2nd table covering the Atari 8-bit computers (no consoles, yet)

So if you're in the US and planning on hitting VCFMW is a couple of weeks, please drop by and say "hi".

Working on the table setup in the basement to see how it looks and make sure I have enough cords, connectors etc.

I'll be there, along with the usual "Atari BBS Guru's" crowd. :)

Tillek, Lp, etc,...

I'm hoping to be able to display my STacy, if everything goes
well.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there! :yay:

Awesome, and I'll be sure and visit your tables too.

Here's table 2 - ST's forward.

Would love to one day have a Stacy and STBook...although I don't think either are likely at this point. There will be two LCD monitors for the TT and Falcon (primarily) as well. I'm just using them at the moment.
