I thought Cinevent was just a social event where us poster dealers meet and drink beer and shoot the breeze...It's been like that for the last five years!!!
I do love The Longhorn Steakhouse and Joes Crab Shack....And turning right on a red, and American women liking my accent - A Brit accent is the coolest (Fact from Big Bang Theory) This Never Happened to the Other Fella....

Maybe Cinevent can be replaced with a MoPoevent, where a bunch of us meet informally in a given city on a given weekendevery year. Instead of a full-on convention, people just hang out together. Allit would take (and I’m not pretending this would be easy, but it would beeasier than organizing a full convention), is picking the place and the datesand booking a block of hotel rooms. Any wheeling and dealing can be done in therooms. Socializing can be done in nearby bars and restaurants. I think Chicago is a great choice becauseit’s central for everybody. Vegas would be good, too (I still haven’t beenthere). But I’d vote for any major city with decent nightlife.

Hi Zeev et al, I can think of several reasons why I could not organize a show: 1. I do not know the 1st (or 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc..) thing regardingconventions. 2. I have a 5 year old daughter who states that I never play with her(after coming home from kicking the soccer ball ball around in the park for 2hours). 3. My wife really enjoys spending $ on our little girl, which means Ineed to work a lot to keep the wife-a-roni happy (happy wife, happy life) 4. I have a full time job in health care, in which I could work a 14hour day every day of the week (and have done 2x this year so far, see #3above). Seriously, though ... When I read that several locations were being 'tossed around' ... Inaturally wanted any new location to be closer to where I live, so Ifacetiously suggested Charlotte.I know that the only way anything (and I mean anything) can live / progress /improve ... is for a constant flow of new blood ... Charlotteis one of the fastest growing areas in the US, a nice climate (but not in thesummer), lots of $ ... #1 (or 2) in US banking, pro football, AAA baseball(both stadiums downtown). That being said, there are no heavy hitters inposters that could pull it off (that I am aware of). Alas, the state of NCended tax breaks for the movie industry this year. If there is to be a convention in a new location, it would take $$$,time, effort to 'do it right'. Skills in marketing, planning, communication,events, even throw in a super sweet auction. I know of 2 entities that would beable to pull it off professionally without a hitch ... emovieposter (Bruce) andHeritage (Grey). Those 2 guys command respect, and 1000s of people listen. ad p.s. I'll still buy the 1st round if I ever make it to a convention. On Wed, Feb 25, 2015 at 9:40 PM, Zeev Drach <lobb...@rogers.com>wrote: Allen, why don’t you organize such a show?

Clevelandis obvious, Chicagonot so obvious. Crazily enough, one of the better kept secrets is theHyatt Regency O'Hare. Flight crews stay there; rooms are moderatelypriced and clean and it's cheap to host events - as every industry, fromlargest to wildest to tiniest, hosts something there each year. Freeshuttle to and from the airport - and the hotel is a short walk to the Metrothat takes you downtown in 30 minutes for $5. NO car rentalrequired. Hyatt is a pricey name, but it's the cheapest property ingreater Chicago because it's near the airport inRosemont and deep in the Chicagosuburbs. -d.

Water gushing out of theelevators, down stairways, flooding rooms & hallways and making at least 2inches of ice at the exit door. Checking out was insane and the poorgirl at the front desk had to deal with dozens of irate customers....nomanagement to be found. We had over $ 4,000 worth of rooms that all refused topay for. so the question is at this late date will Steve Haynes be able to find asuitable location in time and will it necessarily increase costs to attend Iknow the end of this hotel will please some.. but will you be as pleased if noreplacement can be found?
