Couldn't agree more! Had a great time, met some new friends, always great to hang out with everybody. And thanks again Gary for the Murder by Death lobby cards, that was so nice of you!

It WAS a good one!

Something different this time (which of course we have absolutely no control over...) was it was actually warm.

It was kind of hard to process this: you get on the sweatshirt, you put on the parka and arctic boots, you pull on your wool hat, gloves and ski goggles (**), you fling open the hotel room door and walk 50 feet towards breakfast and all of a sudden alarms start going off in your head: "It's HOT!".

There's an opinion forming in my own family that we should spend time at the Ocean Holiday some summer.

Walking through that room all week without the big screen in place would be just plain wrong!

**This may be a SLIGHT exaggeration!

It's like fine wine, Dominique: it takes time to do it right!

I'll say this much: Claus was taking pictures all weekend, so I'm sure he has a lot of material to work with.

There will be pics....this thing called "work" has been interrupting since I came back, bit of a crunch at the moment.

Stay tuned :-)

Details to come soon....There normally is plenty of Super 8mm on the tables, however this time there was more than ever! Beetlejuice was remarkable for the Friday Night Feature and the Saturday Screening went till 1:30 AM. I'm still recovering....

I'm living proof that one can go to CineSea, buy next to nothing, and still have a wonderful time. The friendships forged through this weekend are wonderful. Quite frankly, I wouldn't know what to do if I didn't get to see my buddies. Everything was wonderful, as usual.

Claus does have to work occasionally. His pictures and commentary are worth the wait!

The cake was wonderful, an incredibly sweet commemoration, courtesy of the Tuckeys.

Mr. Harding's pictures have been posted here. I'll close this thread so we don't have simultaneous topic distraction, known in the moderating biz as "STDs".....
