West is just about 2 weeks away. We did a stream with the show-runners and moderators. A nice run down of all the Speakers and most of the exhibits and info about the upcoming show:

A solid hour to get your ready for what to expect at the upcoming show. There is an amazing set of speakers, exhibits, talks, consignment (expanded greatly).

Just about 18 days till VCF West. The show will be... epic. Founders, builders, writers, designers, engineers and creators that keep history relevant and alive today.

This Saturday the 22nd is the System Source Swap Meet. Did you miss the VCF Spring Swap Meet but still need some stuff? System Source is just outside Baltimore, MD and well within the Mid-Atlantic driving area. Stop by 8am to 2pm and pick up some stuff and see the amazing Vintage equipment inside and for sale.
