I remember years ago some of us used to get together every second Sunday night at a different house and put films on. Features are dodgy to say the least, as everyone tastes are different. The best evening film shows, were always a mix of shorts joined on larger reels "something for everyone".

However if you put a feature on, do make sure it has lots of trains in it for Steve [Wink] [Smile]

Interesting, Graham!

-You've given me an idea.

I'm picking out some films for Saturday night.

What if the first (ever) train film on screen at CineSea was "A Train for Christmas"?

I need to explain this a little:

"A Train For Christmas" is a New Zealand Film Unit film about a tourist train that used to run every year between Christmas and Easter.

It is easily the best portrayal of a steam locomotive I have ever seen on film: any better and it would become hard to breathe the air in the room pretty fast.

Something about showing that on a screen ten feet high with a couple of healthy speakers just makes sense.

I won't be there this year but will try to make it next year. I am all in favor of a Friday night feature screening.

I know I'll be missing a great time in not going to Cinesea, but I know you guys will come back with some great pics and stories. So please think of us that can't be there and enjoy this wonderful opportunity to mingle with your fellow hobbiest.

Have Fun! [Cool]

I haven't been successful getting a hold of the hotel to make a reservation. I left a message last Saturday, and no call back. I will try again in the next few days.

Hi Jack,

Recently I've called on the 800 reservation number three times roughly mid-day during the week: I got through twice and a busy signal once.

I don't know how doable this is for a teacher, but it seems a good time to find them there.

I have a terrible schedule this semester. Free from 8-9:30, at the very beginning of the day, then work non-stop until 5:00, except for a half hour lunch break. I scarf down lunch and keep going. I will try to carve out 15 mins somewhere to get a hold of them.

We'll have to think about what the Friday Night Feature will be......

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

Well Jack,

The opening phone call is mostly a formality (especially this far off-season): for example "Is the hotel open at all?"...(We know that!....now...)

It's the letter with the deposit that gets the job done.

Worse comes to worse I'm sure if you send them a letter with:

Name
Address/Phone number
Number of guests
Nights of Stay
Type of room you want (see "Rooms" in website)
One night payment (see "Rates" in website)

-you'll do just as well.

Ocean Holiday

(Mention "CineSea": it's just good politics for us with the hotel.)

Doug, since it is a gathering of people headed to a destination of fun and adventure, (and these would be cut-downs, more or less), how about the 800' MAD WORLD - 2nd option, Frankenheimer's THE TRAIN - Naturally, I'd like to see a short thrown in for good measure - Which reminds me...

I opened a separate topic for the sole purpose of picking the feature for Friday night. Take a look!

I am afraid there will not be any Lone Star Beer there this year but, perhaps, maybe next year.

I still think there should be a Friday Night Feature screening.

I finally got someone Friday afternoon at the hotel. All is well, and I will see everyone there the evening of the 24th.
