Nothing's been discussed (on moving it).

Also, since the Pickwick has gone to showing first-run movies, it is a little harder to squeeze convention films in.[/quote]


Yeah as far as I know , only one person was really interested in moving the show around again but in Chicago it will remain for at least the foreseeable future. And it's also true that it turns out to be extremely difficult to get any kind of fan-convention type special film into a first run film theater at ANY time of the year. So, again:

No Third film, no problem.

I'm obviously not JD or any of the other convention planners, but I can't see any logical reason to abandon Chicago at any point in the future.

They've had it there for so long that repeat-attenders have probably got their plans fixed each summer that they come back, and the fact that geographically it's basically in the middle of the country that it wouldn't really make sense to move it.

Especially not to me, being that I live thirty minutes south of the hotel. :)

As far as three movies goes, itting in a theatre for two movies straight isn't exactly the first thing that would come to mind for me to have fun during this convention. It's been great in the past, but then there were also great new movies in the past to do it with.

We've got some great new DVD's coming out this summer and I think it would be much more reasonable (and let's not forget more accessible) for the vast majority of convention goers for G-Fest to have in-hotel screenings in the session rooms of the movies we love.

Pickwick is great, but I think Lord Hastur has pretty much said it.

Don Glut will return to G-FEST this year. He attended in 1997 as a guest, and visited when G-FEST went to LA. Also Carl Craig is coming back thanks to the generous sponsorship of the good folks at MonsterIsland Toys.

Don Glut, right, discusses his vast collection of dinos and other sci-fi and horror items to Brett Homenick, Peter Brothers and an "unidentified" MZ moderator. :D
