--We are planning this for sometime next summer. As soon as we pick a location, we will start to dicuss dates.

--We are also planning to put on a concert of film music and also some members of this boards' music.

--The locations that have been thrown up in the air are: Florida, L.A., NY, Detroit, and Dallas.

PLEASE EMAIL(ACOLLINSUF@email.msn.com)ME OR POST THE LOCATION OF YOUR CHOICE.

--Also the idea of contributing 5 dollars a month was brought up. This is a good plan I think and the sooner the better. Does anyone have any other ideas?

--Sponsors or Benefactors can be looked into also!

We need to jump on this and the more people that contribute ideas, the more grand expericence we have!

Thanks,
Aaron

The $5 a month plan should be implemented ASAP. It's a good idea, but we'll only see results if we start right away. Those who don't want to bother with the $5 a month might also consider donating the total amount all at once. It'd be less to think about.

Anyway... those are my thoughts. I'm with Aaron, we need to establish a location before we can focus on dates. And everything revolves around the dates... so let's pick a place and get on with it.

Anyway back to studing and worrying about stuff I go.

If I can be there I 'can' and will 'be'!

I really would love to meet all you people

But anyone who's familiar with some of my other postings will know I'm a very keen hiker, and have already made plans with my hiking buddy to get up to K2 in the Karakoram/Himalaya (this is NOT a joke, I've already been up to Everest twice!) and June,July and August is the best time to go!

It occured to me that this might be an event that could be held in more than one place simultaneously(or nearly so). There could be an eastern party and a western party, for example. Or northern/southern.

If it's going to be a recurring event, we could even have one in the winter and one in the summer, to space them out a little. We could arrange it in the style of a convention and call it MovieMusic.Con

I'm partly leaning towards an East Coast location (e.g. Florida) because I'm thinking it might be more convenient for our European friends (hey, Timchanter, that mountain will STILL BE THERE some other month, y'know!), although probably a hike to Florida would take no longer than a flight to, say, Chicago, which as a centralized location might be most logical as a sort of "middle ground" for us Norte Americanos. Just a thought; for sheer laziness reasons, I continue to shoot for Florida.

--Maybe all our Across-the-ocean friends might want to toy around with seeing the cost for airplane flights.

--If anyone disagrees that 5 dollars a month is a stupid idea, then speak up now! I want to start this as quick as possible. I will start off and throw 10 dollars in there now.

--The sooner we select a location, the sooner we can check into sponsors, discounts, concerts, convention centers, etc...

Thanks,
Aaron

Dan (again)

We're also sharing cars...etc, to save a few $$$

Orlando is good for me, if only because I've not been there six years years and would spend a few extra days thee to go to Universal's Island's of Adventure. :-D

I still think FL would be a great place to have it.

REASONS:

*Arrange the party around a shuttle launch.
*The Beach
*Orlando(which consists of Disney, Universal, Sea World, WetnWild, and other great parks.)
*Radisson Resort in Cocoa Beach(I could arrange a discount for the convention center one day and we can possibly plan a bustrip to take us to a theme park.)
*Could possibly arrange a film music concert with an orchestra or Wind Ensemble.

Now I need to know numbers and see if this is even worth planning!

Put it this way: The USD is worth 1.5 times the Canadian Loonie.

Seriously, Orlando is the best idea I've heard yet, for all reasons Aaron mentioned and because it would be best for our European buddies.

I've already started setting $5 a month aside.

If I did come, it would be for the following reasons:

1. To shove my face into Marian’s and say, “See, take a good, long look.
I probably look like your mom. Memorize every facet because I’m not
posting a picture.” And I’d tell him I love MUCH ADO ABOUT
NOTHING as much as he does, and that I love him too.

2. To meet some really nice friends I’ve made on the Board.

3. To attend a concert by Jerry Goldsmith, John William, Poledouris,
Bernstein, etc. SERIOUSLY, have any of you given thought to
picking a location where some well-loved composer will be
conducting his music? (Like the L.A. weekenders and Detroit Dandies.)
Seems to me that this event should center upon a composer’s concert.
Maybe one is scheduled in L.A., Seattle, Florida, Las Vegas, Chicago,
New York, Canada, Texas..and so forth. Think about it.

If I attended, I can guarantee that I wouldn’t be “momming” anyone. You’re
adults and on your own. All my life (ALL), because of my upbringing and
profession, I’ve had to be diplomatic and appropriate, and I believe those
are authentic traits of my personality. However, as some of you have
witnessed, I do have a rather closeted, slightly wicked sense of humor that
sallies forth from time to time, especially on vacations.

So it is very likely that something like this could occur.

“Has anyone seen Mom Joan?”
Shaun: “Yeah, I saw her with about 1000 five dollar bills in her hands heading
for the nearest male Chippendale live show. I heard her say, ‘All my life
I’ve wanted to yell, ‘Shake your booties,’ at a bunch guys.”

Shaun, please don’t take my money. I promise I’m way too straight to yell, “Take
it all off, honey.” You can even join me at the show, sweetie.

Seriously, the way to capture my attendance is to hold it at a place in
conjunction with a live famous film composer’s concert. Jarre was in Florida,
Jerry was in Detroit, and Williams was in L.A. Anyone know next year’s
schedule?

On an even more totally unrelated note, have any of you guys ever highlighted a smilie face? Check it once? It's the "cryin' on the inside" face.

Shaun

So, do you dance well?

Why, that sounds like a perfect reason to come, for me! I might even stop whining to pleeeasseee post your phoooooto if I get to see you in person (after all, I could simply take a photo of yours myself and send it to PeterK .

The mother of a very good friend of mine was my primary school teacher, and I still enjoy talking to her, so don't worry.
