The food looks typically american, lol. What about the number of sellers and visitors ? Did you notice any change (good or bad) comparing with the last edition ?

It would be great to see you there, Janice!

I don't believe there is an "official count", but I would say we have slightly more people than the last time including at least two new ones from this Forum: Joe Taffis and Pat DAlessio.

It's a very active room: a lot of conversation going on and something like five screens lit up. When you need a break you just walk out the door and the boardwalk and the beach are right across the road.

As far as the food, it's no time to be on a diet! The event puts you in a good mood and you feel like indulging a little when the menus are passed around!

Stupid(er?) answer: No.

The screen isn't fully set up in that picture. Later on we extended it up to the ceiling and allowed the folded lower half to fall down and hang under its own weight.

Generally if there are some wrinkles in the surface they fade out of sight as you back away from the screen once a picture is there.

Any event like with films and projectors around is probably worth to attend to. If it was not the distance I am sure many of us would have loved to be there.

It was a great time for all who attended. We would love to see more people from the USA and Canada as well as our friends from Europe and beyond.

The amusements parks were closed because it was off season. We watched an excellent 800' reel of Son Of Frankenstein, A mix of of old promo's and shorts that Steve Osborne sent up. A nice of Airport, cartoons, and a bunch of other stuff. Doug has a better memory than me. Definitely worth the trip. I hope more collectors make it in April.

The hotel and Lou Franchetti usually settle on a date, but for the moment we're still putting the stuff away from this one!

Last year's Spring convention was late April, though.

Pat, Great photos. Thank you!
There are a couple of amusement parks further down the boardwalk. Morey's Landing Pier Amusement was open on Saturday from 11-9. I'm sorry we kept you away from it!

I had an amazing time. Thanks to everyone who joined in on the fun this weekend.

This isn't a complete list, but the screening started with the From Russia With Love trailer, courtesy of Gary Crawford. That was followed by the 16mm Castle Son of Frankenstein. Steve Osborne sent a great collection of theater opening animations, promos and a fun long trailer for the 1966 Batman feature. He also sent a knockout excerpt of the color sequence from 1934's Kid Millions. There was a gorgeous 16mm print of Buccaneer Bunny and the second stop motion trailer reel released by Larry Arpin. Steve Klare brought his print of the Blackhawk prevue reel Movies that Talk and Sing. Gary also contributed Clark & McCullough in the hilarious Odor in the Court.

Universal 8's scope digest of Airport looked great on the big screen.

I believe 2013 has been officially designated "The Year of Konga", so we had to screen the Ken Films' classic cutdown.

The screening lasted till almost 1 AM, finishing with Fred Astaire dancing on the ceiling from Royal Wedding.

CineSea has given me a good problem! I bought two features from Guy Taylor. Rather than finish one and then watch the other I'm alternating reels and kind of watching...both.

The net result is Laurel and Hardy meets Irving Berlin!

For the first time I had one of the rooms on the East side with a balcony overlooking the beach.

-kinda nice!

Thanks for the Konga nod Doug, yup 2013 is global Konga year and nice to see him getting a screening. If the suit arrives in time Konga will be appearing in person at Blackpool but don’t tell anyone will you folks. He.

KONGA was just one of the highlights for me. We also enjoyed Doug's "one of a kind" super 8 *SOUND* digests of I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN, FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE SPACE MONSTER, and WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH. All of the super 8mm and 16mm prints looked and sounded awesome! It was a great weekend! [Big Grin]
