A Commodore 64 Expo was held recently, where attendees dusted off their Commodore 64s, networked them together and had an old-fashioned LAN party to play NetRacer — a new C64 racing game that supports eight people over the internet or LAN for the first time. Organized by the Cincinnati Commodore Computer Club in Fort Wayne, Kentucky (!?), the event was attended by the likes of Dragos, Dopple, Elwix and Snogpitch. NetRacer also supports joystick controls, has sound effects and scrolling animations — which is pretty crazy when you think about the hardware it's running on. In addition to the LAN party (rumored to be for C64 A-listers only), the event featured Snogpitch's coveted C-1 computer , soldering stations , impromptu tutorials in 6502 assembler , frankengadgets , Mountain Dew , and a raffle ! And this is 100% unconfirmed, but supposedly Mountain Dew sales were cut off at 10:30 PM despite Cincinnati Commodore Computer Club bylaws that clearly state last call is to be held at 10:45 PM. Ugh.

Some of you may have gathered from my twitters that I am moving. It seems like only yesterday I landed in Las Vegas, but it has been a full 2 years!!!! And this time my move is more organized than the past moves, and I am actually going through all the boxes that got here by hodge podge, sent by my daughter to San Francisco, then more brought by her when she moved here last fall. In the midst of the memorabilia collected through the years is my first personal computer, a Commodore 64, in the... ...

Inexplicably, the Cincinnati Commodore Computer Club's 2008 C=4 expo was held this year in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky. Although perhaps it's not really such a WTF: being a card-carrying member of any computer club is ignominious enough even when it doesn't involve an obsolescent 26 year old computer. Members of the Cincinnati Commodore Computer Club might well want to have sex in their home town before they die. There's little point in hosing off in the well. That all said, the latest C=4 expo certainly featured an extraordinary event: the very first Commodore 64 LAN party, in which the homebrew game "NetRacer" programmed by Leif Scheme was played head-to-head by a wonderful octuplet of tucked-shirts-and-jeans beardos on eight networked C64s. Oh, so very wonderful. Check out the site, the pictures are fantastic: these guys all look like they were sucked through a time vortex from 1986 to 2008, clinging with bloody nails to their cherished C64s.
