atarian1 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Two Commodore shows in Las Vegas on the same weekend? Are there really that many there in that desert island? Seems odd to me. ( Not that I care since I am an atarian ) Is there a rivalry that has blown up and now they are trying to put down one another? I guess this would not be the first time something like this happened (being in this hobby for 40 years). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimDrew Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) Sort of... CommVEx was moved to a different location without asking any of the sponsors or vendors for input - which provide the majority of the funding for the event. The new location was horrible, and when a group of us tried to get the event moved back to the original location we were met with extreme resistance (my personal account on commodore.ca was actually banned, etc.) So, all of those funding the event, along with the vast majority of normal participants decided to create an all new event - Commodore Retro eXpo (CRX). CRX will feature a star studded line up for presentations and special guests. We fully expect this to be the largest gathering of Commodore enthusiasts in the U.S. this year. The Kickstarter project "The Commodore Story" will be filming the event and conducting interviews for their DVD/book. Because many people had already booked their hotels and flights for the last weekend in July to attend CommVEx we really had to make CRX the same weekend so people could attend it. Next year's CRX will not be in July - that is the wrong month to have any type of event in the desert! It's just two weeks away now!

JimDrew Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 We have increased the size of the venue to accommodate the sheer number of people who will be attending! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
