Sellam,
  Any chance of a VCF East in 2004?   A location in CT would be great, it
would be a good midpoint for all the collectors in MA/NH/RI and the ones in
NY/NJ/PA.     There are a lot of hotels with conference halls around the
Buckland Mall (exit 62?) off of RT-84 CT, plus with the mall, and lots of
local fast food and restaurants, there would be plenty for show goers to do
before/after the show.   There is a massive videogame (2nd largest show in
the US next to 
www.austingamingexpo.com which is the largest) event in
March: 
www.phillyclassic.com so if you could schedule around it, that would
be great.
