Hey Mike, you want to talk about a "long trip?" Imagine me trying to go to it, (which I can't), lets see, who farther away?
Hmm Mike is in the U.K., I am in Idaho, U.S.A.
(subtle humor, not putting you down)
Honestly, I wish I lived in the U.K. maybe if my film-making can really take off, I might have the opportunity to do so, but knowing my luck, by the time I could move over there, The super 8 market could be dead.

Joseph!, Joseph!, Joseph!!
If Blackhawk had survived modern "progress", we Yanks would be meeting for "open days" in Davenport, Iowa.
-Yet it was not meant to be! Society has sacrificed classic technologies so they can watch "movies" on oversexed TV sets and marvel at 48 inch "big screens": looking at images that seem like they've been smeared with a half inch of Vaseline. (My Brother-in-law has one of these and for the sake of family harmony I had to look impressed!)
I'd like just as much as you to get together for the "NAFCC", and I think if it ever happens, it needs some root to form around: a company, a society...something.
-Until we answer what that "something" is, this is all academic.
In the meantime: flights to England aren't all that bad($)
Someday, I definitely want to go!

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...

Then, how were the DERANN and BLACKPOOL events started? - By that time, Blackhawk was virtually no more, collectors were thinning out collections, yet still they persevered enough to warrant these conventions, and it doesn't matter how far technology has changes the way we look at things, there will always be a need for us - Comic Books aren't what they were any longer, yet there are cons that spring up nation-wide - No, we must have one here for film like it used to be, even if it's a tag with a toy show or somesuch, then before long we can branch out on our own
