After a seven year hiatus it is once again time for the Pacific Northwest to take on the role of hosting a Vintage Computer Festival. This time the event took place at the Tukwila Community Center on the weekend of May 2nd and 3rd and after multiple years of the Interim Computer Festival we were all excited to see what would happen with a full-blown show.
In this video I drive to the Seattle area, experience the show and do a little shopping on the side while pestering the locals. It's nearly 90 minutes of exciting VCF action!
In addition to the videos linked in the video, here's a few other cool videos!

30:46:00 - Plexus Unix System - youtube.com/watch?v=iltZYXg5hZw
51:48:11 - NEC APC - youtube.com/watch?v=On3EdkGgHNo
