I suspect a few AHRC and Freeside members would be interested in this.
Maybe it could be a good place to sell that big old video game chassis
that's sitting on the recycling shelves.

Announcing the First Ever Vintage Computer Festival Southeast

The original Vintage Computer Festival was founded by Sellam Ismail and
held in Pleasanton, California during October, 1997. Now, finally, the
greater Atlanta area / southeast region of the US gets its very own!

ROSWELL, Georgia – February 4, 2013 – Vintage Computer Festival Southeast –
a public celebration of computer history and nostalgia – will be held on
Saturday & Sunday, April 20 & 21. Our mission remains the same as that very
first show:

The main mission of the Vintage Computer Festival is to promote the
preservation of "obsolete" computers by offering attendees a chance to
experience the technologies, people and stories that embody the remarkable
tale of the computer revolution.

We will educate and entertain!

- A large premier exhibit will welcome each attendee as they enter the
festival - The Apple Pop-Up Museum which tells the story of how a small
start-up company, founded in a garage by two young friends, became the
leading consumer electronics and personal computer company in the world.
The exhibit displays an exclusive collection of game-changing Apple
personal computers and consumer electronic products while presenting the
history of the company since its founding in 1976 to the present. An Apple
I, the first disk ][ and controller card, original apple ][, original Lisa
and even a Xerox Alto are among the rare artifacts to be displayed, plus
much, much more.

Within the 6,000 square feet of display space that this premier exhibit
occupies will be the following rooms: Pre-Apple Room, Apple I Room, apple
][ Room, Turmoil Years Room, No Founders Left Room, Jobs’ Come Back Room,
Ive’s Colors Room, iPod / iPhone / iPad Room, The Timeline Lounge and
Apple’s Present to the Future Room.

- Dozens of exhibitors will be present from all over the region, plus many
from other parts of the country. A large variety of historic computers will
be represented in the exhibit hall for live demonstrations by their owners.

- A vintage game station will be available for children and adults to play
classic games on classic computer and game console systems.

- Two retrocomputing kit building classes will be held, plus continual,
inexpensive introduction to soldering classes.

- Many luminous speakers and special presenters are now being scheduled.

The VCFSE is hosted and produced by the Computer Museum of America and the
Atlanta Historical Computing Society.

One-day adult tickets to the VCFSE are $10, with a two-day pass for $15.
Children ages 17 and younger are admitted free when accompanied by a parent
or guardian. For hours, location, and other details, please visit
