Hackaday news has a story on VCF East, coming up from April 17-19 in New Jersey. This is pretty much the premier East Cost display of Vintage Tech. It's rumored that there will be 5 (five) running PDP-8 computers on display this year, in addition to all sorts of Home Micros and whatnot.
There are also a host of talks and classes about different topics. The exhibit hall usually has a ton of hands on exhibits, great for the old nerd and their kids alike!

games? sure. but for your classic geek of that era they were used to learn how to code (few schools had them). at the time such an activity was considered less socially acceptable than playing d'n'd (or runequest in my case).
