When it rains, it pours! Not only does that seem to apply to the weather anymore, but to everything else life has to offer.
All of my various major hobbies (at least the vintage computer Stuff, the Buick stuff, and the arcade stuff) all have 1-2 big events each year. The first usually being in the spring, around this time. Naturally this year, they ALL fell on the same weekend, which made it difficult as I wanted to attend them all!
Unfortunately something had to give, and I opted to skip the car club stuff, as not being on Facebook anymore I have no idea what’s going on (they don’t update any other media outlets) so I have no idea if they still attend as a group. In addition, I forgot to get my Buick inspected in time so I would’ve attended with my daily anyway. Sorry fellas!
The other two events were the Allentown PinFest 2019, and Vintage Computer Fest East 2019. I was able to attend these by hitting up Pinfest first on Friday, spent a few hours there poking around, found a few goodies, then left there and headed straight for Wall Township, NJ to help the VCF peeps set up (or if anything at least get in their way), then attended that Saturday and Sunday.
Not only am I exhausted, my car is exhausted, and my voice is exhausted – my voice being worse for wear (great news for some people I guess).
So over the next few days I will try to post up some info about each event, some loot I found at each, and hopefully next year I’ll post up about them earlier so all 3 of my Twitter followers can see them as well.
Last but not least…another cool piece of vintage Franklin Institute ephemera has been acquired, which will be posted up as well. Stay tuned!
