Heya, I volunteer with a Video game music and video gaming festival called MAGFest that happens off of the DC Beltway in Maryland. It's in it's 15th year or something and brings around 20,000 people. The division I mostly deal with is arcade machines, but we spawned a computer museum section in the arcade a few years ago that now has it's own room. The guy that ran the entire event from 2nd event to 9th event is a chiptune artist who is big into retro computing and retro computing music (Inverse Phase is his chiptune name.) The computer museum is 3000 square feet and mostly plastic micros and DOS machines. Kaypro, Osbourne, etc. Some early Macs and other technology makes it on display, as well as rare and odd console gaming systems. Not exactly 1:1 with what VCF is but still it's a pretty wide audience. I actually just found out that a new Amiga documentary is being premiered at 'fest in the movie area about the Amiga and a few early Amiga people are going to be there. Anyways, if there is a flyer for VCF East in PDF form or something I'll print out a bunch and make sure they're at event so that people coming to the museum (and Arcade) learn about VCF East. 1/2 a page is best, but I also have a large format printer (36" wide) and am willing to run off a big sheet or two. The people that handle the museum room (who are also into the arcade thing) are long time friends, they actually came to VCF East 2016 with me and probably will come again to 2017. Anywho, figure I'd put it out there :-)

Hey Ethan. One of these years I'll get to that show.

You mean Zach W.'s film. He is part of this group + VCF East too. :)

Thanks! I'm working on it. Please email me privately (evan@vcfed.org) with details.

Hotels rooms at the venue hotel sold out in a day (1800 rooms), I don't know what the status of the other nearby hotels are, I think a lot of hotels are booked but I could be wrong, and there could be cancellations or something. - Ethan
I was planning to drive down for the day, but I have family near by if I want to stay. Not sure if I can do this, but I think we should have a presence there. On Mon, Dec 26, 2016 at 10:30 AM, Ethan via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
