Possible entertainment for VCF 8.0

[Dan]

Hi,

I collect some of the old machines too ever since my late brother bought 
our first kit in the 70's, Altair 680, which I still kept. But I haven't 
made it to any ot the VCF shows yet. I'm planning to make the VCF 
MidWest show some time. I think it's real challenge to get more of the 
general public to attend. but I think if you get a higher attendance 
from enthusiasts alone it would be a success.

The entertainment and Door Prize is really a good idea. The one guy who 
said don't make it loud, I think is important, nothing like talking over 
the music. The one idea that mentioned about vintage computer games is 
also a good thing to do, especially the original  ASCII games. One thing 
that would be nice to see at the VCF, but probably difficult to find, 
are some of the memoriablia reproduced from back then(70's). I don't now 
if you already had planned to have vendors at VCF, with items such as 
T-shirts, posters with ASCII art, or from George Beker.
