Re: [Phono-L] Exploring Phonograph Show/Sale in Boston
I like that idea. A joint phono show with the NEARC show in Febuary might work. -Barry On Wed, May 16, 2012 at 1:46 PM, Jack Whelan jackwhe...@hotmail.com wrote: Bruce, The airfare to TF Green in Providence RI would be much higher that Boston.

Re: [Phono-L] Exploring Phonograph Show/Sale in Boston
The Holiday Inn in Mansfield would be a likely candidate it is about half way between the two metro regions and has a big parking lot. It is readily accessible from 495 and 95. Bill F. did a lot of research about us trying to do this a few years ago and it did not look promising. I was thinking more of one of the established show promoters doing it. They already know what to do and how to do it.

Re: [Phono-L] Exploring Phonograph Show/Sale in Boston
Hey Bruce,You have our votes. We would love to have a show in town. Maybe at the Crown Plaza? Its a stone's throw from Green and they are a good size facility for a show. The convention center would be way too big.
