 ====== PaCommEx News ======
-==== PaCommEx - The Return! ====
+==== More Space for PaCommEx ! ====
-I just received word that we can have the Pacific Commodore Expo NW again at the "Interim Computer Museum" at the Old Rainier Brewery in Seattle on June 24-25, 2023!  Whoo-hoo!
-==== As of 2021 ====
-The latest information as of July 27, 2021.  I spoke with the head of computer collections at the Living Computers: Museum + Labs, our venue for PaCommEx.  In our telephone conversation, he hinted that the LCM+L may be reopening in 2022 in conjunction with another Seattle festival.  If the museum opens, then we can hopefully put on PaCommEx once again!
-==== Dave A. Freeman passes away ====
-Dave A. Freeman of The Living Computers: Museum + Labs passed away in late Sept. 2020.  He was a hardware engineer at the museum and helped a great deal in the set-up of PaCommEx each year.  To see my full write-up on him and see other links, go to

-==== Update on the PaCommEx Venue ====
-July 29, 2020 -- I talked to one of the contact people at the Living Computers: Museum + Labs where we have PaCommEx.  The museum is o.k. financially.  It was closed just because of Covid.  The contact person says that as soon as they get out of Covid restrictions, the museum can reopen, and he is eager to have PaCommEx return.  However, Seattle is barely dipping into Phase II of reopening, and museums are not in Phase II.  He estimates that it could be anywhere between 12 to 18 months before the museum can reopen.
+This year we have more square feet to hold the show!  An upper room, closed off to us last year due to renovation, is now open, and we can use that extra space for presentations (separating them from the exhibit room) or as a lounge for snacks, food, and general relaxation.
+==== PaCommEx moved to June 22-23 ====
+Due to a scheduling conflict with another group at the venue, the Pacific Commodore Expo NW is moved to June 22-23, 2024!
+==== PaCommEx 2024 set for June 15-16 ====
+Yes!  After speaking to SDF.org, our major sponsor, the Pacific Commodore Expo 2024 is set for June 15-16.  Same place - the Old Rainier Brewery Intraspace in Seattle, Washington, USA!
