I agree.. the LCM+L looks awesome. And really, winter is an ideal time to do vintage computer stuff. Usually our winters are not that bad up here, but this last year we had snow on the ground almost continuously through March. It was brutal.
Perhaps if weather proves difficult this year, VCF might consider March next time? Esp. with March Break (I think they have that in the US?).. makes it easier to travel for those us with kids.

But travelling through the passes or through higher elevations can be dicey. Once you are here though we'll try to make it good time. I think the LCM+L will be a great venue, and this show will probably look and feel a little different from other shows. The layout of the museum gives us some unique opportunities.

That might be one to bring my TVT and Mark-8 stuff to, provided we don't have another winter like we did last year. I'm up in BC and we just got pounded this year with snow and bad weather.. if it's like that again I'll have to pass.. BC drivers are terrible on snow.

The first VCF PNW will be held at Living Computers: Museum + Labs in Seattle, Washington on February 10-11, 2018. Seattle is a rich and vibrant tech hub with beautiful scenery and every variety of rain possible, but it has been missing the Vintage Computer Festival experience. With the cooperation of the LCM+L we are fixing that by providing a weekend full of interesting exhibits and even more interesting people in what is already a great destination. In the next few weeks we will put out more formal calls for exhibitors, volunteers, and speakers. If you would like to chat feel free to reach out to me at mich...@vcfed.org <mailto:mich...@vcfed.org> . Vintage Computer Federation is a national user group serving collectors, hobbyists, and anyone interested in the history of computing. More information about the Vintage Computer Federation can be found at http://vcfed.org/. Living Computers: Museum + Labs provides a one-of-a-kind, hands-on experience with computer technology from the 1960s to the present. The LCM+L is online at http://www.livingcomputers.org/.
