By sheer coincidence, I just wrote a minor lecture about flash a couple of days on VCFED:

Went to the VCFed October swap. crazy stuff there, all stuff I couldn't afford, I wish people that got to spend money were able to get some crazy things.

Went to the VCFed swapmeet at InfoAge yesterday, as a patron and not a vendor. haven't been to one in a year due to last year's shenanigans outside my control, and honestly, it was a breath of fresh air not having to worry about a table while perusing the […]
