The Commodore Computer Club meetings are open to anyone with an interest in Commodore technology. Our attendees come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and all are welcome.
Come to learn, come to share. It’s all for the love of anything Commodore.
Meeting Times and Location:
Since early April 2010 we’ve been getting together every Friday between 6:00 pm PST and 7:00 pm PST in Vancouver, WA at my home depending on when people get off work, etc and we go well into the night… sometimes until 1:00 am PST or 2:00 am PST.
However, as of June 25, 2010 we now meet at Pied Piper Pizza, a local pizza place in Vancouver, Washington which is approximately 20-30 minutes from Portland, Oregon:
We get to use one of Pied Piper Pizza’s private banquet rooms free of charge. All we have to do is order food or drinks and believe me, they have something on the menu for everyone. The prices are pretty good too.
Pied Piper Pizza is really awesome for the Commodore meeting because the room we use has a lot of tables, plenty of available electrical outlets, free WiFi internet and an arcade with video games, dart boards and pinball machines.
Important Information:
Starting July 2010 we will only have meetings on the first Friday of every month (no more every Friday). Meetings typically start at 6:00 pm PST and go until midnight (closing time). The first meeting with the new schedule (first Friday of every month) will be on Friday July 2, 2010.
Upcoming Meeting:
- Friday September 3, 2010 – 6:00 pm PST until 12:00 am PST (closing time).
People from Portland, OR typically show up between 6:30 pm – 7:00 pm PST due to the work happening on the 5 and 205 freeway bridges. Please allow for a little extra drive time with traffic.
When you enter Pied Piper Pizza, head towards the rest rooms, walk past the arcade (will be on your right) and straight back to the private banquet room. Look for Commodore “Stuff”.
Once in the banquet room, we can open a side door to allow you easy access to bring in your Commodore Computers or anything else you plan on bringing to the meeting.
What To Expect:
You can expect to see various Commodore Vic-20, C64, SX-64, C128 and Amiga computers and accessories at the Commodore Computer Club meetings.
At our meetings members and guests help each other out with needed repairs or modifications to our Commodore computers and accessories, play disk and cartridge based games, show off graphics and music demos and of course talk.
Usually there will be a nice selection of Commodore magazines (RUN, Commodore, Compute, Ahoy) from the 1980′s and 1990′s on hand to check out as well.
We also buy, sell and trade various Commodore hardware, software and magazines. Do you have some extra Commodore “stuff” you would like to unload or maybe you are looking for something yourself? Let us know as it’s always nice to share the “Commodore love” with others.
As a side note, we also discuss the Atari 2600 and various homebrew games, VCS hacks and video modifications. When the mood strikes, we even play some Atari 2600 video games.
