ALERT! CommVEx 2013 moving to Jockey Room 1 in Plaza Hotel
« on: July 19, 2013, 08:49:45 AM »
Today, another new Plaza Hotel contact, Kelly, informed me that due to technical issues it would be best that we change from Ballroom 8 to Jockey Room 1.  I agreed, even though it is only 9 days to CommVEx.  Jockey Room 1, a room that we have used in past CommVExes,
is located at the bottom of the ramp to the third floor garage.  Advantages of Jockey Room 1 -- easier to move hardware into the room due to its proximity to the garage and more visibility for passers-by to see the room.  Disadvantage of Jockey Room 1 - a smaller room in comparison to Ballroom 8 or last year's Left Field Room at the sister hotel.

That being said, everything is still go for CommVEx.  New for this year -- not one but two AmigaOne X1000s will be on exhibit.  Also Retrogaming Radio will be hanging around and may broadcast from the show (if our wi-fi signal is strong enough).

The updates continue to come, and so, watch the website below or the forum at http://www.commodore.ca/forum/viewforum.php?f=6 for the latest information.

          Arriving in Las Vegas on Tuesday,

In the interests of equal opportunity I'm a bit worried about headroom for the altitudinous attenders in this location.

It is $10, whether you attend one day or both days.

A price that hasn't changed since CommVEx v2,

I'm not expecting the 6 foot, 5-inch tall members of the Astoria Commodore User Group to be attending.  :)

It was another successful CommVEx! Many pictures and some video are already being posted at

And the hotel contract is signed for next year -- the July 26-27 CommVEx v10 2014, the 10th anniversary of CommVEx!

Writing from the Portland, Oregon area right now,

The Commodore Vegas Expo v9 2013 was a success last weekend!  We had a great crowd, a great variety of presentations, and great exhibits. My thanks to all who came to the show and supported us.

The first of the "official" CommVEx videos has been posted.  It is "Kent and Kyle Sullivan talk about Imagery for the C64," and you can find it at

          https://blip.tv/episode/6624233

More to come in the future.

                You're all invited to next year's CommVEx!
