We're two weeks away from the 27th annual "Last" Chicago CoCoFEST! and John W. Linville and the CoCo Crew have been one of the loudest megaphones to promote this event in the past few years. There's a lot to be excited about with CoCoFEST! in general, and a lot more this year, so we'll hear from John, did a little into his history and current activities in the retro community, and hear some new and improved changes that are taking place at CoCoFEST! this year! Are you excited about CoCoFEST!
