A solar eclipse is cool I guess, but it's not something I'm going to reschedule over. I don't know about other folks here, but VCF East has become one of the things that I look forward to the most all year round. At this point, much of my vacation time is used to attend VCFs, and I see no reason to change that at this time. Many years ago, I made the choice to do something else instead of go VCFE, and I still think I made the wrong choice. Come April, you'll see me in New Jersey.

VCF East is scheduled for April 5, 6, 7, 2024 @ InfoAge. The total solar eclipse in the US is a rare event and the next one is in 2044. I already saw the last one in 2018 in Smithville, TN, so I don't need to see another. It was quite an interesting experience. I'd be curious to know what all of you feel about whether you would attend or not based on this information. It's not too late to change the dates, but I would need to figure it out within the next few weeks. Please let me know either in this thread or private mail about your attendance of VCF East or the solar eclipse. Thanks!
