VCF East 9.0, originally scheduled for May 18th and 19th of this year has been delayed until 2014 due to venue facility damage caused by last year’s Hurricane Sandy.  Evan Koblentz posted the following announcement to the classiccmp mailing list this evening:

VCF East 9.0, scheduled for May 18-19 this year, is postponed to next year. That’s because our venue sustained some Sandy-related damage.

It’s nothing unfixable (and no artifacts in our museum were harmed), but we are not certain about having the buildings repaired in time for the show.

So, in spring 2014, we’ll host VCF East 9.1. ;)

However we will probably have a swap meet and/or other smaller events this year. Details TBD.

The latest iteration of the Vintage Computer Festival East is taking place this weekend in Wall Township, New Jersey.  At 9:30 am on Saturday, May 5, VCF East 8.0 kicks off a weekend of retro-computing fun at the InfoAge Science Center.  The festivities run through Sunday evening and this year looks to be a great one.  For Apple fans, Daniel Kottke’s Sunday keynote speech will be of special interest, as will Mike Willegal’s “Introduction to Apple II Maintenance” workshop.  To check out the full schedule of events, visit VCF 8.0’s web page. Tickets are $10 for one day, $15 for both days, and FREE for ages 17 and younger. Parking is free.
