    VCF Midwest - who's going?

    Every vendor is independent (i.e. we don't do consigment), so each will be different. Most of the "pro" vendors will be set up for cards and other electronic means (as is the VCFMW shirts-and-things table), but many are also just random attendees selling their surplus, so they may be cash-only...

    We do an auction! Unfortunately, most of the donations come in the day of the show, so we don't have time to catalog them. But here is a small portion of what we're going to put on the truck tonight....much more to come! http://vcfmw.org/auction.html

    VCF Midwest 2020 Cancellation

    We regret to announce... There will be no VCF Midwest this year. The conditions imposed upon us by the CoViD-19 pandemic and related government regulations, as well as a depressed expected turn-out figure, will make it impossible for us to host an event of the size and quality our dedicated...

    VCF Midwest 14 Overflow Hotel Block Open

    Well this is exactly the kind of problem a growing show wants to have, but it's a problem nonetheless. The Clarion Inn hotel attached to our show venue is FULL for Saturday night 9/14 (and yes it's full thanks mostly to *us*). There may be a few rooms left for Friday 9/13, but that doesn't do...

    VCF Midwest 12

    We did this nerd-fest thing at this hotel last year and no one complained (much), least of all the hotel, so I think we're up for another go. The TWELFTH edition of the Vintage Computer Festival Midwest is happening September 9th and 10th, 2017 in lovely Elk Grove Village, Illinois, mere...

    Chicago Classic Computing

    Hello Midwesterners - there has been a mailing list for Chicago-area collectors for a number of years now. It's very low-traffic, mainly used to share Craigslist finds, trade classic computer items and keep each other up to date on events. You'll find it at http://chiclassiccomp.org. It's a...
