I just can't believe you guys..why don't they do it here, why don't they do it there. because there's no money in it! We just don't support the shows!! That's why they're folding one after the other..
Chicago... Didn't we have already shows in Chicago? Ray Courts was in Chicago and folded. Mulqueen was in Chicago and folded. There were others, smaller ones, in Chicago, I doubt they still exist. You want large cities? Didn't an L.A. shows just sing it's swan song recently? Is ray Courts still doing the L.A. show? It's always on-again, off-again. Yes, Cleveland is central..Didn't Morrie Everett give it a go there? Of course he has. Columbus is/was the last Grande Dame of Movie Memorabelia shows, and what happened? More people were belly aching about the shitty hotel than attending the show. Year after year attendance decreased. Organizers were brainstorming to find out why? How to improve the show? But nothing changed. Cinevent exists because guys like Steven Haynes, and all the members of his family, plus a few more good souls, have worked tirelessly, for free, just to mount the show..because for them it was a labor of love. Anybody want to step up and organize a show in Charlotte NC(Allen?), San Diego, Chicago(David K?), Austin(Kirby?), or Vegas(Rich?) I got it off my chest..

Sure, It would be great if everyone came to balmy San Diego and away from the humidity that slams the Gulf Coast states 7-9 months/year, but hosting on ANY coast would cost a bundle, hence better to host at a more central location without a rental car. - d. _____ Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2015 18:25:06 -0800 From: <mailto:mro...@earthlink.net> mro...@earthlink.net Subject: Re: Will Cinevent take place this year?

Cleveland and Chicago are natural choices. Cleveland is obvious, Chicago not so obvious. Crazily enough, one of the better kept secrets is the Hyatt Regency O'Hare. Flight crews stay there; rooms are moderately priced and clean and it's cheap to host events - as every industry, from largest to wildest to tiniest, hosts something there each year. Free shuttle to and from the airport - and the hotel is a short walk to the Metro that takes you downtown in 30 minutes for $5. NO car rental required. Hyatt is a pricey name, but it's the cheapest property in greater Chicago because it's near the airport in Rosemont and deep in the Chicago suburbs. -d. _____ Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2015 19:21:26 -0600 From: <mailto:movieartaus...@gmail.com> movieartaus...@gmail.com Subject: Re: Will Cinevent take place this year?

Columbus was not ideal but it was central - Cleveland is Morrie territory and it is central. Or will Cinevent become part of Syracuse? This Never Happened to the Other Fella....

Water gushing out of the elevators, down stairways, flooding rooms & hallways and making at least 2 inches of ice at the exit door. Checking out was insane and the poor girl at the front desk had to deal with dozens of irate customers....no management to be found. We had over $ 4,000 worth of rooms that all refused to pay for. so the question is at this late date will Steve Haynes be able to find a suitable location in time and will it necessarily increase costs to attend I know the end of this hotel will please some.. but will you be as pleased if no replacement can be found? _____ To unsubscribe from the MoPo-L list, click the following link: <https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1> https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1 _____ To unsubscribe from the MoPo-L list, click the following link: <https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1> https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1 _____ To unsubscribe from the MoPo-L list, click the following link: <https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1> https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1 _____ To unsubscribe from the MoPo-L list, click the following link: <https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1> https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1 Kirby McDaniel <mailto:movieartaus...@gmail.com> movieartaus...@gmail.com _____ To unsubscribe from the MoPo-L list, click the following link: <https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1> https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1 _____ To unsubscribe from the MoPo-L list, click the following link: <https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1> https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1 _____ To unsubscribe from the MoPo-L list, click the following link: <https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1> https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1 _____ To unsubscribe from the MoPo-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L <https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1> &A=1 Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
