Scott, I spoke with Morrie earlier today. Steve is going to continue Cinevent in Columbus but it will be a film only show. No posters. Effectively Cinevent (with regard to posters) will become The Hollywood Poster Auction(or Convention, i didnt quite catch the exact name). So basically Cinevent is moving to cleveland under a new name with posters and auction only. I'm fine with it. I'm thrilled someone is picking it up and moving forward.
Kirby I believe Philipp was referring to people who sit and just talk and/or bitch about the hobby but are not particularly active in advancing or promoting it. Thanks to Steve H. for holding the event all these years. Hopefully everyone will continue to support the new venue/show and help it grow. I would still like to see the date moved in the future. I understand hotel rates are cheaper over this holiday but there is a reason for that: No one wants to travel because it is a family holiday, like the 4th of July. -Peter On Mar 2, 2015, at 5:21 PM, Scott Burns wrote: > So if Cinevent is able to find a replacement venue (if not this year, then > 2016) will this Cleveland show then compete on the same Memorial Day weekend? > Morrie states that this will be a “show that you will wish to attend for many > years.” If that’s the case, dealers will have to make a choice, as will > attendees.
