Vintage Computer Festival Midwest 2023- Joyful Chaos!

I went to VCF Midwest 18 (‪@VCFMW‬)! It was a ton of fun, I finally got to meet a ton of great friends in real life, and I saw some of my favorite computers up close and personal. Everything from Commodore computers like the Vic-20, Commodore 64, Amiga, and the PET, to Tandy CoCos (one of which I might be interested in acquiring), to vintage Apple/Macintosh stuff like I had in school, to the MS-DOS stuff I grew up on, and even Altairs and PDP machines- this was really my happy place. There's sadly a limit on the amount of cards YouTube lets me put in a video. So, here's a bunch of tags and locations mentioned throughout (special thanks to these folks for being awesome!): - ‪@Mac84‬: vintage Mac videos and streams - ‪@ActionRetro‬: totally normal computer shenanigans https://adwaterandstir.com/: Altair clone kits! - ‪@CanadianRetroThings‬: might have convinced me to buy a CoCo 3 https://www.superphonerecordings.com/: best band website I've ever seen - ‪@TaylorAmyShow‬: don't panic and go subscribe to them - ‪@TiltFive‬: the good kind of AR that brings you and your friends together - ‪@jeriellsworth‬: legend - ‪@sloopymalibu‬: vintage repairs and commentary and fun - ‪@adriansdigitalbasement‬: noted repair enthusiast and lab tech cosplayer - ‪@RetroTechChris‬: retro know-how and friend to all - ‪@NybblesandBytes‬: did not get a chance to interview her, but her channel is awesome!
