The issue is what's in the dealer's room.

{}#yiv7885344094 From what I am hearing, that is not accurate. IF Cinevent is
able to lock-up a new location in downtown Columbus, it will have both classic
screenings AND a dealer’s room as always. As I receive more info from the local
Cinevent people I will pass it along. Scott From: MoPo List

parting ways amicably and the Steve would only be doing Film and Morrie would
only be doing Posters. That's all I know. I will be headed to Cleveland.

that is not correct.
Cinevent still plans on having dealers and movies. They've been working on
getting a hotel and the Columbus Convention Bureau has been helping them and
they're trying to figure out the best option
This doesn't surprise me as they're doing the same thing that any convention
faced with a necessary change of venue would be doing
I suspect I'm going to get a table at either show and do both on different days
personally I think it would be great to have 2 shows, I just wish they were on
different weekends to make it easier

Scott, I spoke with Morrie earlier today. Steve is going to continue Cinevent
in Columbus but it will be a film only show. No posters. Effectively Cinevent
(with regard to posters) will become The Hollywood Poster Auction(or
Convention, i didnt quite catch the exact name). So basically Cinevent is
moving to cleveland under a new name with posters and auction only. I'm fine
with it. I'm thrilled someone is picking it up and moving forward.
Kirby I believe Philipp was referring to people who sit and just talk and/or
bitch about the hobby but are not particularly active in advancing or promoting
it.
Thanks to Steve H. for holding the event all these years. Hopefully everyone
will continue to support the new venue/show and help it grow. I would still
like to see the date moved in the future. I understand hotel rates are cheaper
over this holiday but there is a reason for that: No one wants to travel
because it is a family holiday, like the 4th of July.

So if Cinevent is able to find a replacement venue (if not this year, then
2016) will this Cleveland show then compete on the same Memorial Day weekend?
Morrie states that this will be a „show that you will wish to attend for many
years.‰ If that‚s the case, dealers will have to make a choice, as will
attendees. Is that a good thing for collectors?

Subject: [MOPO] Hollywood Poster Auction and Convention 2015 - Cleveland, OHIO!
For 20 years, the Hollywood Poster Auction and Cinevent were paired
successfully in Columbus on Memorial Day Weekend. Saddened by the challenges
that Steve Haynes has had to deal with recently, and the closing of the past
venue, the Ramada, I have had to move quickly to assure that my consignors
would be well served, and family members who run my auction with me would have
everything in place and ready to go by May 23. Time has been of the essence.
Attempts to find another place in Columbus for a seamless transition have
failed for me, as there was not a venue suitable to both the convention's and
my needs space wise. What was found to meet the needs of a film show was not
adequate to give me what what was required for my auction.
Encouraged by several colleagues and collectors to move the auction to
Cleveland, I quickly acted and found the Sheraton Hotel at Cleveland Hopkins
Airport to be more than suitable in many respects.
Steve and I are on the best of terms, and understand each other's difficulties
at this time, and we have wished each other well as we move forward. We will
both have dealer's rooms, but our conventions will be quite different. Steve
will focus on film and I , of course, on movie memorabilia.
Details will follow in the next Classic Images for hotel, auction, and dealer
table information. Special pricing will be available.
Please call The Last Moving Picture Company, 440-256-3660, and speak to Dwayne
or myself. I am looking forward to a show that you will wish to attend for many
years. Dealer packets will be sent to all dealers who have done my New York,
Chicago, and Hollywood shows in the past. Let us know if your address has
changed.
Your support will be appreciated!
