FILM FANS UNITE!

FILM FANS UNITE!

It seems we don’t appreciate the treasures we have in our own back yard…or even a little south. My bride, Janice, and I have arranged for a house sitter (a burly fella who drinks a lot) and we’re heading to Columbus for the annual Cinevent, the classic film convention. Steve Haynes has been putting this show on for many years and it is one of the premiere events of its type nationwide. You should make plans, too. And check out the website.
One of the reasons Cinevent is so popular is the Vintage Poster Art Auction. Morrie Everett and Marty Davis have been staging this auction for years. Morrie owns the Last Moving Picture Company right here in Northeast Ohio, and he and Davis are among the most respected people in the world when it comes to movie posters. Plus, they’re nice guys.
At any rate, I’ll se you at Cinevent. Stop by and say “hi” to Steve Haynes, Morrie Everett and Marty Davis. And if you need a house sitter, I’ve got one…but he’ll pry the lock off your liquor cabinet.
