The main VCF is always held sometime in September or October. Next year's
event already has a set date: October 30-31, 2004. And you know what that
means? HALLOWEEN VCF! Come dressed as your favorite nerd.
VCF Europa is always at the very end of April or the very beginning of
May. This year's event is May 1-2.
The first VCF East was held in July of 2001 and was in Marlborough, Mass.
I wanted to make it a regular event but the economy and other factors got
in the way. With the April 2004 event I hope this marks the beginning of
a regular yearly event.
A VCF Midwest will someday arise, as will a VCF South, though these may be
biennial (occuring every two years).
I also have desires for a VCF UK, VCF South America (there is interest
actually), VCF "Down Under" (Australia) and VCF Japan.
