I believe Cinevent in Columbus is still the granddaddy of them all. It takes place May 22-25. I'm not too familiar with current shows on the west coast(there used to be the Ray Courts show but I believe it's history now..) So go ahead, try to support the show that is trying very hard to maintain a high caliber of what's left of the so-called Poster Conventions - then tell us all what we're missing... :-) Zeev
