Noticing a couple of items I sold via #VCFEast consignment on eBay for way more that I sold them.

I don't mind, it's just amusing.

Okay, if I can't sell my CGA monitor at a reasonable price I might try to make this adapter (was trying to sell my monitor/video-7 card/JCM-1 RGB adapter at #VCFEast consignment, but only the adapter sold). Moving soonish, so I'm slowly parting with things I would otherwise keep.

Side by side view of my two Epson LX-80 dot matrix printers. The one on the right I got free at #VCFEast really needs a good cleaning before I'll start testing it.

Two identical mid 1980s dot matrix printers, the one on the right being far, far dirtier than the one on the left.

I was happy to see @polpo again at . He had a Polaroid 100 land camera loaded with pack film. He shot this picture of me at my exhibit. I fell so lucky that he used a shot on me— I’ll never forget. Thank you!

Back from a whirlwind of a weekend. Thank you to all that stopped by my exhibit table at this year. Was great to meet so many folks in person. And a huge thank you to all that purchased plots and floppies at consignment.

I gave away lots of postcards this year. If you got a plot or postcard, reply with a picture!

An exhibit table at a computer fair with two large plotters and a music keyboard with a built-in plotter. In the back is a large framed abstract colorful plot on an easel. On the wall are various abstract pen plot designs and a poster.

I have to say that seeing a Bendix G-15 in the metal flesh is even more fun after seeing all those Usagi Electric YT videos!

Sign that says "The 1950s"; under it, two very large metal cabinets, the left one a Bendix G-15 computer with multiple controls, the one on the right a magnetic tape unit.

Thanks to everyone that stopped by my #AtariST exhibit at #VCFEast this weekend! I hope I was able to talk to you a bit. I get so overwhelmed at times but it is always fun.

I carried my Polaroid 100 around #VCFEast and had a blast taking photos of old stuff and people with their exhibits. I gave out most of the shots I took but here are a couple that made it back with me!

Two Polaroid shots, one of Atari computers and CRT monitors with an Atari neon sign, and one of me knob twiddling on a Moog synthesizer.

Had a BLAST at today, the expanded show, the bigger consignment space, crazy cool exhibits and not to mention the other museum spaces are just getting better and better! Two of three nephews went and didnt even whine to go home (they actually loved it).

I love this plywood folly at @BigBadBiologist 's table. It's practical and looks weird in a good way - meaning it's just a about perfect.

Played Hunt the Whumpus on a Univac 1219 at ! Of course I fell into a cave on my FIRST MOVE which is highly improbable but hilarious.

My table at #VCFEast - well, my table at consignment anyway. Multiple people (like me) brought stuff this evening, so there will be new things to buy tomorrow (it's been difficult resisting, there was a lot of cool stuff today and I expect I'll take a look again tomorrow).

I do feel a bit sad of letting that Tandy CM-5 go, I hope someone will have fun using it.
