I know what you mean. Chicago may not be perfect, but almost *anything* is 
better than American Gomorah, a.k.a. Vegas. If I could afford to attend a 
hundred 8-bit computer fests and all of them were held in Vegas, I would 
boycott them all.

Any CoCo dealer who would show up for a fest in that city doesn't deserve to 
be in business.

It doesn't suprise me that the Commodore show was held there. Have you ever 
read comp.sys.cbm? It seems like there's always a flamewar going on there, or 
some other argument. No matter who started it, I always get the idea almost 
half the Commodore community is a bunch of foul mouthed (foul keyboarded?) 
pigs. The CoCo comunity, like the Atari, Timex-Sinclair, and most of 
Commodore, has always been more civilized than that, and we don't need to 
lower our moral standards and associate with Vegas scum.

I would love to be able to go to a CoCo (or Atari or Commodore) fest, and 
would like to encourage all parts of the 8-bit community to work together, but 
mixing fests might lead to smaller fests for each kind of computer, and lead 
to less support.  I suggest the we consider this idea very carefully.
