Saturday dinner, and then I'll do a wrap with the next installment.
"An army travels on its stomach"... and so do film collectors. The Saturday dinner has been a week-end highlight every show as we have sampled our way through different places, usually with excellent results.
This time the destination was the Two Mile Landing Restaurant and Crab House:
We had a bit of a traffic jam when we arrived 30 strong; people were getting hungry...
...but once seated, things settled down and a good dinner was had by everyone:
...due to the size of the group, we had to spread out at a couple of extra tables, but hey, we're flexible (settle down, Gerald, no need for the zombie act; there's plenty of food...)
Dinner. A time to share deep thoughts...
The Tuckeys had brought a commemorative cake again; a tasty reminder of how many shows we have already done. The cake would make its way back to the Saturday night film fest after dinner.
Nest time, the Saturday screenings and a wrap.

Well, back at the "ranch" it was time for the Saturday medley of films. Whereas Friday is more of a set feature-type program with trailers and such, Saturday is "pot luck": bring and show until the wee hours (how 'wee' they get depends entirely on how many films are offered up.)
You gotta have snacks when you run films. Giant bags of popcorn and other goodies were on offer:
...along with these little Halloween treats:
Classic cartoons are always welcome, so we had a nice Technicolor "Woody Woodpecker":
Great prints were run, including this Disney film, the name of which escapes me right now (Doug can help with this one):
The classic "Luxo, Jr.", John Lasseter's pioneering digital animation film, here in a superb film print:
Horror, anyone? The cult classic "The Flesh Eaters" showed up in all its ragged glory. Great fun:
...and also a genre we don't see that often, but which is dear to many collectors: the railroad film. Steve Klare had brought a fine Super-8 print of a mountain rail journey for our enjoyment:
That is about the last chapter; I'll have the group shot and a few closing images for the end.

Another CineSea ended. If a week-end can feel both relaxing and packed at the same time, "CS" does that. The days take on their own rhythm, depending on who you are and when you arrive, and the show becomes "yours" in a way that a bigger, more structured event can't.
I leave you with a few random pictures from the week-end, pictures that show the easy cameraderie and warmth of our gathering.
BTW, It's little-known that Doug Meltzer is a magician...at the end of each show, he performs this trick. He makes all of the stuff on the ground...
...fit into his SUV...impressive, really.
And so we have another group shot for the CineSea history book, and we start looking forward to April 2018, and to meeting both everyone we know, and anyone who might be tempted to come enjoy the magic of this special week-end.
As always, thank you for looking and reading.
Claus.
