Home / Special Projects - 30th Anniversary
The Tandy/Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computer was released in 1980, which means 2010 will be the 30th anniversary! The Glenside Color Computer Club will be holding their 19th Annuals "Last" Chicago CoCoFEST! most likely in the Fall (late September or early October) of 2010, and we'd like to help them make this a huge event.
Details soon...
30th Anniversary Logo
Can we get a professionally designed logo for this milestone event? Something that could be used on shirts, keychains, posters, etc.?
Fest T-Shirt Display
How many Rainbowfest/CoCoFest/etc. T-shirts can we find? Let's see if we can get one of each at the show, and display them along the wall in chronological order.
CoCo Game Show
Using the fire button switches, four handheld push button devices could be made to allow four people to compete in a CoCo controlled game show. CoCo related trivia questions could be asked, and special software could track who buzzes in first. We could project the controlling screen. (I envision this to be the next level of the game Nick Marentes organized for PennFest one year.) We could play elimination rounds, so folks could be rotated out allowing more to play.
Documentary
Let's set up a place at the show for folks to sit down in front of a camera and tell their story. How did they first learn about the CoCo? When and why did they get one? What did they do with it? When and why did they move on to something else? Stuff like that. This footage could then be compiled in to a "CoCo Chronicles" type documentary.
Souvenirs
For the 30th anniversary, let's go all out.
Tandy/Radio Shack Support
As the 30th Anniversary of the very first color Radio Shack computer, it has been suggested we approach Tandy for sponsorhip support.
