Maybe the convention needs to be re-thought. There are three different venues
going on in Columbus at the same time: the dealers' room, the movies and the
auction. If you split them out and maybe place them at different venues that
are close to each other and charge separate admissions for each, you can maybe
make a go of it in Columbus or a different location such as Las Vegas, Chicago
or Cleveland. Trying to find one space for all that in Columbus will be
difficult.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Will Cinevent take place this year? Point well made, Zeev.
I would never host the show because I am not what you described in your last
note, i.e., a member of a group of philanthropists who've hosted Cinevent in
Columbus forever. Unless we have such volunteers in our midst, I agree with
you, Cinevent is dead. A bit hypocritical of me anyway as I have NEVER
attended Cinevent because of my own issues getting from point A to point B and
being spoiled when it comes to going to biz conventions several times a year.
I was just thinking out loud about the various venues for an event that sadly,
has finally met its end like an old person suffering a 15-year-long terminal
disease. - d.From: [email protected]

Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2015 22:10:47 -0500I just can’t believe you guys….why don’t
they do it here, why don’t they do it there… because there’s no money in it!
We just don’t support the shows!! That’s why they’re folding one after the
other….Chicago….. Didn’t we have already shows in Chicago? Ray Courts was in
Chicago and folded. Mulqueen was in Chicago and folded. There were others,
smaller ones, in Chicago, I doubt they still exist.You want large cities?
Didn’t an L.A. shows just sing it’s swan song recently? Is ray Courts still
doing the L.A. show? It’s always on-again, off-again.Yes, Cleveland is
central….Didn’t Morrie Everett give it a go there? Of course he has.Columbus
is/was the last Grande Dame of Movie Memorabelia shows, and what happened?
More people were belly aching about the shitty hotel than attending the show.
Year after year attendance decreased. Organizers were brainstorming to find
out why? How to improve the show? But nothing changed. Cinevent exists
because guys like Steven Haynes, and all the members of his family, plus a few
more good souls, have worked tirelessly, for free, just to mount the
show….because for them it was a labor of love… Anybody want to step up and
organize a show in Charlotte NC(Allen?), San Diego, Chicago(David K?),
Austin(Kirby?), or Vegas(Rich?) I got it off my chest…. Zeev From: MoPo List

if everyone came to balmy San Diego and away from the humidity that slams the
Gulf Coast states 7-9 months/year, but hosting on ANY coast would cost a
bundle, hence better to host at a more central location without a rental car. -

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Will Cinevent take place this year? Cleveland and Chicago
are natural choices. Cleveland is obvious, Chicago not so obvious. Crazily
enough, one of the better kept secrets is the Hyatt Regency O'Hare. Flight
crews stay there; rooms are moderately priced and clean and it's cheap to host
events - as every industry, from largest to wildest to tiniest, hosts something
there each year. Free shuttle to and from the airport - and the hotel is a
short walk to the Metro that takes you downtown in 30 minutes for $5. NO car
rental required. Hyatt is a pricey name, but it's the cheapest property in
greater Chicago because it's near the airport in Rosemont and deep in the
Chicago suburbs. -d.Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2015 19:21:26 -0600

dammit.. the Ramada is finished and will probably not reopen (ever) due to
water damage. from trip advisor: To summarize: no heat in lobby, no cable all
weekend, some showers only had scalding hot water, some showers only had ice
cold water, mold in rooms, dressers hadn't been dusted ever, never got extra
towels, no cups in rooms, no refrigerator, ice makers didn't work on any floor,
phone didn't work so couldn't call front desk, pool half full, hot tub was
roped off with a power line hanging above it, dead bat in stairwell and to top
it off....fire alarms went off at 7 am Sunday due to pipes bursting on the 5th
floor due to no heat up there. Water gushing out of the elevators, down
stairways, flooding rooms & hallways and making at least 2 inches of ice at the
exit door. Checking out was insane and the poor girl at the front desk had to
deal with dozens of irate customers....no management to be found. We had over $
4,000 worth of rooms that all refused to pay for.
so the question is at this late date will Steve Haynes be able to find a
suitable location in time and will it necessarily increase costs to attend I
know the end of this hotel will please some.. but will you be as pleased if no
replacement can be found? To unsubscribe from the MoPo-L list, click the
