Last year's event was great, so I'll be driving out again this year. I'll have to ask some locals how to avoid all the toll roads, or at least help identify which ones might take my E-ZPass.

All the roads maintained by the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority take E-ZPass along with the Chicago Skyway.

Cool! I might go. I've never been to one of these, but I've always been into older computers. I might even be talked into showing or presenting something.

How do these events feel about retro-esque modern things? I have a homebrew 8-bit based around a modern ATMega. VGA Race-the-beam, bank switching, and other ancient tricks. Heh, the RAM chip I'm using counts as vintage, but everything else is fairly modern through-hole cmos or hct.

In terms of true vintage, I just got a CoCo2, which I would love to hook to an SD card instead of my old aging floppy drive. Everything else is x86.
