The Vintage Computer Festival SouthWest 2023 was a blast! A great group of guys who organized this show. It was great to see the show rebooted after 11 years. Just so everyone knows they are their own non-profit who organized and financed the show (Vintage Computer Collective of North Texas), but with support from the Vintage Computer Federation, sponsors, and many supporters. There were lots of great exhibits, sellers, talks. I took some video which I have or will upload. I also took tons of pictures which I will upload somewhere too. They had an auction there which was very successful. They had a streamer panel, a Tandy panel. I got there before the show. It was great to see familiar faces: Jeri Ellsworth, Burger Becky, Bil Herd, Sean from Action Retro, Alexander Pierson, Thomas CherryHomes, etc. And new faces from the organizers at VCF Southwest. A great bunch of friendly guys. I was glad to have a vacation and enjoy the show instead of being the organizer. The show took place at The University of Texas at Dallas (in Richardson, TX) at the Davidson-Gundy Alumni Center. Financially they are in the black, so I see no reason why they wouldn't be back at the same place and grow the show to other buildings. Saturday night we did the usual VCF outing and went to a retro arcade: FreePlay. Bil Herd, Jeri Ellsworth, Usagi Electric were there. I stayed for two days after the show and visited The National Video Arcade Museum in Frisco, TX. A very nice museum. I recommend everyone to go there and check it out. Here is the playlist I created on the VCF YouTube channel of the videos that they took as well as some that I took and other streamers: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_e5fSxflvryWDdeuOXF5kmSjO3ORTvqz Enjoy!
