Well, here we go. My camera started developing problems, so some shots had to be omitted, but still a decent spread.
You know the routine:
I will post up to the forum limit and then someone just add a post in response. I can then continue and we can have all the pics in one tread.

Gary Crawford and I arrived Friday mid-afternoon in Wildwood to beautiful sunshine, mellow temperatures and...this. A kite festival on the beach. Wildwood takes you by surprise every time:

-

With Shorty having come in as well, we took a nice afternoon stroll on the boardwalk, complete with fresh lemonade:

-

Then came setup, of course. We decided to build the big screen for the Saturday night showings in advance so we could just move it into place:

-

...and the party is on [Smile] Here, Shorty treats us to a great old tune while reviewing the fi...I am kidding, I am KIDDING! [Big Grin]

-

As always, the Franchettis brought loads of films, including one beauty we'll get to in a bit:

-

Doug's GS1200 Xenon was banging away all week-end:

-

That's it for this one. I'll wait for a response to continue.

Claus.

With the show underway, one person is always a centerpiece: the lovely Simone, desk clerk at the hotel. Her charm, salty wit and great stories just make you feel right at home.

When she has to tell other staff who called, the translation for Gary and myself are:
Gary: "The guy from Virginia"
Claus: "The guy with the accent" [Wink]

-

Fine old machines were well represented. How about a Bell and Howell with a tube audio amp? That thing could roar:

-

You know what they say: "Old projectors never die, they just need some oil" (Well, that's at least one version...):

-

Our friend Brian Hendel graced us with his presence this time, always great to meet more people from the forums:

-

The film talk flowed as ever:

-

And if you wanted a break, the sun and the beach awaited:

-

Claus.

That does it. I have to get to Wildwood earlier on Friday next time. I missed out on the boardwalk!

Great pictures, Claus. Just to add a few more from my area:

-

- .
Some prints from the Closet O' Film made the trip.

-
My "8mm Museum table". This time I brought The Winnie the Pooh Movie Theater, which was sold exclusively by Sears. Adjacent to that is a Winnie the Pooh Cine Exin Toy Projector. I wrote about that one here. The Sears product was compatible with....

-
The Fisher Price Action Viewer.

-
The Agfa Family Camera & Projector/Viewer. If only I had the attachment that allowed an instant picture to be made of any frame of film shown on the projector!

-
The John Black Memorial table. John always took the first table by the entrance.

-
I brought my Bauer 715XL and shot two rolls of 100D. We'll see how the footage turns out!

Doug

--------------------
I think there's room for just one more film.....

straining and veins fit to burst with the weight of films you'd

I love seeing that old childrens movie viewer! There's some films in those stacks that I would have loved to have, (silent movie among them!)

Yes, October isn't that far off, AND you can bring some films to show/trade, whatever - The best parts are the dinners out and the evening showcase - Shorty

Re: names. Next time I will try to get full names as I don't have everyone down yet.

Well, the Espresso Moment had to come. Tradition, you know [Wink]
John Capazzo went at it again, accompanying the brew with his great home-made cake:

-

-

-

Meanwhile Captain Blackhawk tore off his civilian clothes to fight for justice in the film world....

-

Jeffrey is not afraid of handling cores like this:

-

Remember I mentioned Lou Franchetti's "special" film?
It was a stupendous-looking 16mm copy of the 1951 version of "Show Boat." The colors were so incredible they almost looked psychedelic. My photo does no justice to the screened image, but anyway:

-

I'll stop here because although the forum says the picture limit is 8, I somehow run into "the wall" with 6 pics.

Someone just post back and I'll add some more.

Claus.

Good Stuff, Claus!

What was kind of neat was I called to reserve my hotel room and the desk clerk asked "Are you coming for CineSea?".

-basically this is becoming an event there.

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

The timeless joy of inspecting a reel:

-

Ah, big ol' bulbs...my own '38 Kodascope uses this one too:

-

We had a beautiful selection of posters for sale as well:

-

Doug brought this fun item. I call it the Airyflex...:

-

"I'm telling you, I have no idea where these futuristic things came from..":

-

Freshly-sealed Bonum reels in this year 2013...miracles still happen [Big Grin] :

-

Ok, I have a bit more, so someone please post and we'll get to the Saturday dinner :-)

Nice pictures, makes me wish I was there
