For those on the East Coast who are interested, there's a small, but long running demoscene competition and hands-on retrocomputing museum every year at CMU called Demosplash.

It's great fun and one of the engineering professors (who's originally from Japan) participates in both. He and the retrocomputing club bring tons of old computers, including Japanese and European only machines and even write demos on them.

Some hi-lights:
