Hi All,
Sorry for the delay, but it couldn't be helped. I shot fewer stills this time because I was also doing video. The idea is to make a retrospective video of the event, so if anyone has stills from the very beginning, please contact Doug or me.
Anyway, here is round one of Cinesea X:
As usual I drove up with Gary Crawford, and as usual we had a fine old time on the trip.
Arriving in Wildwood, the weather was as close to perfect as you could get. There is always something new going on, and in this case it was kite flying:
The joys of unloading:
...and Gary came prepared. What better way to detect vinegar prints than to bring "the gold standard" with you for reference...
Speaking of bringing things, stock up when you go to Wildwood as stores are a little ways off.
If there is such a thing as magic, it exists here: a simple room transformed into a warm and friendly haven by a group of people with a shared love of film.
Of course, our old friend John is always there in spirit:
Gradually the tables filled up with "stuff"...:-)
...and it was time to say "hello" to old friends as well as new ones:
That is about the limit; as always, someone post a line or two, and I will continue here so we keep the whole thing in one thread.
Claus.

Janice,
Thank you; as long as people enjoy them, I am happy to do it.
Graham, you're not kidding about the cake; John Capazzo is a good baker, so the cake went fast.
Back to the action:
One thing you can count on at Cinesea is Lou Franchetti and Lou, Jr. bringing stacks (and stacks) of 16mm from every genre. I treasure the very nice print of "Freaks" that I bought from them a show or two ago.
Some people come for the whole event, some re-appear just to say "hi" and wish us success. That kind of intimacy gives a special "neighborhood" feeling to the show:
Quiztime: how many reels in this picture :-)
On Doug's 'museum table' we had this mint-condition Elmo sound recorder for hookup to a silent camera:
And a soundtrack stripper (pardon my language...)
Lest a casual reader think we do nothing but watch movies(!), once you step outside, you are reminded of the wonderful 50es/60es atmosphere that permeates Wildwood. Just in our parking lot, this beauty had shown up:
With sunset Saturday, next on the agenda was the dinner and then the late screenings back at the hotel. A few more images and then I'll wrap it up:
Claus.

By now, the Boathouse restaurant must be used to us :-)
Good food and flexible seating for this motley crew keep us coming back:
The gang's all here:
The lovely lady is our good friend Simone who graced our table after scheduling conflicts had stopped her previously:
After dinner, the films ran on into the night back at the Ocean Holiday. Come Sunday, amidst some last screenings and packing, we got a group shot together, taken by Simone:
There you have it, CineSea X. For a summing-up image, I thought The Mysterious Man in the Black Hat said it best:
My newly-gotten Tech-print of "Magnificent Obsession" ready to roll:
The title of that film pretty well sums up our hobby. It also explains why we take time off to spend two week-ends a year in a small hotel on the Jersey shore. If you still have doubts about coming, remember this: to my knowledge, not a single person who has come to Wildwood has regretted it. We have had nothing but good feedback. Make plans for the spring 2015 CineSea show. It only gets better....
Claus.
