There's a convention in Britain, there several in the US ... hell, even Antonis managed to make one down in Greece.

So here's my thought; would it be possible to make some sort of gathering here in Scandinavia?

What would it take to arrange something like this, what is needed?

See? This is exactly what is needed; a global affair culling the finest dealers and collectors together - I'm in earnest that the New Jersey gatherings will increase to become a mainstay, eventually becoming as well-known as the others, BFCC, Cinevent, Cinefest and so on - I wish you much success and all it takes is a dream, a large place to meet, plenty of film and screenings, buying, selling, trading and the love of it all - Cheers, Shorty

The Jersey meetups look to be really great, but for many of us all the way over here in Europe, it's a bit far to travel [Smile]

I would love to arrange such a gathering myself, but it would require some help from other collectors, and we would have a slight problem with hotels, as there are NONE here [Wink]
