Good point. I'm planning on doing an extensive Atari exhibit this year to mark the occasion. On Sun, Jan 20, 2019 at 9:16 AM andy diller via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Yes, I've heard of this mega-exhibit, and given the anniversary I would hope that we put together some preview material for the show as promotional info? I've never been involved in the show 'from the inside' so if this is all stuff you normally do then ignore me, otherwise if we want to promote Vcfe-19 given the two special exhibits shaping up -- is there an official spokesperson that can be talking to some podcasters etc about the show (again with some teasers)? I just listened to the Antic Atari Podcast and they talked about upcoming shows this year and: - they mentioned VCFe but didn't give a date- the other VCF shows they mentioned had a date (Se and W i think) - they talked a bit more in-depth about the other shows but didn't say anything specific about VCFe If nobody is doing this I'll offer to put together some 'one page pretend press-releases' that the board can review and re-tweak... then we should send that out as far and wide as we can while we have this period where people are figuring out where they are going for shows. I have an idea of people to send it to, tweets etc etc.... -andy

Hey, Andy, at the time we recorded the last ANTIC podcast, there had been no published dates for VCF Easts. So, that’s why we didn’t talk about it in any great detail. Next episode we should have a lot more to talk about regarding VCF East! Randy Kindig Co-host ANTIC

I don't expect there to be enough space. The Unix exhibit will be big, but we have a finite amount of space to share with all exhibitors at the show. It would not be fair if someone else has a tight space while another exhibitor has something unrelated to their own exhibit just for fun.

Dean if you need anything or help with the Atari's let me know. I'de loave to do an exhibit but my job has made a mess of any schedule.

Thank Andy, John and Neil. I have a tentative plan-o-gram of what will comprise the exhibit. I'll will share off-list shortly. Neil, are you planning to be at TCF again this year? On Sun, Jan 20, 2019 at 5:15 PM Neil Cherry <ncherry@linuxha.com> wrote:

Dean - i will bring it up for you to display. It's pretty cool in terms of radical re-interpretation of the Atari-8Bit. And with it hookup up to a DVI LCD Panel and a nice PS2/keyboard it's a very interesting discussion piece. Also, it's tiny. https://imgur.com/a/IHYDwyv -andy
