My VCF adventures! VCF Southeast and VCF West 2023!
I finally made it out to my first VCF event! It was so good, I had to attend my second one a week later! The first event was VCF Southeast in Atlanta, and the second was VCF West in Mountain View California! I met some amazing people and saw some amazing things! Although my ability to haul items was limited, I still ended up with a decent amount of loot purchased from both events! If you've never attended a VCF event, I cannot recommend it highly enough!
