     The VCF East is has finished for this year, and it was the most successful one ever.  Plenty of money gathered for MARCH.  My table won for the best for a first-time VCF East exhibiter.

                 Hooray!

The VCF East is has finished for this year, and it was the most successful one ever.  Plenty of money gathered for MARCH.

On Saturday alone, they earned over $1,600!

My table won for the best for a first-time VCF East exhibiter.

It was all due to the fact that dozens and dozens of people wanted to play Shredz64 on the Guitar Hero guitar connected to the C64 via the PSX64 adapter.  People were just amazed!  They were taking photographs and video of those playing on it, and Internet reporters were hovering around busily taking notes in their notepads.
