Author Topic: ShoWest 2010 Mike Frese Master Film Handler Posts: 465 From: Holts Summit, MO Registered: Jun 2007 posted 03-01-2010 11:39 PM                        Could not help notice that there was no thread about ShoWest 2010 yet, even though it is less than 2 weeks away. Anyone going?  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-02-2010 12:25 AM                        Saving up for next year.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

Is there a Filum Tech Drink Night this year?  |  IP: Logged Clint Koch Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1435 From: San Luis Obispo, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 03-02-2010 10:53 AM                     This is the last year for ShoWest at Bally's. Next year it moves to Ceasars and will be run by Nato. It will also have a new name, not ShoWest.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-02-2010 12:28 PM                        That's another reason I'm savin' up. Have been to the Bally's convention once, but have never been to Caeasar's Palace except a walk-through one time, so hopefully the NATO convention will live up to their promises of all the ways it's going to be better. (Cue: NATO bashing)  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-02-2010 12:41 PM                     Too many installs going on right now to attend this year.  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 03-02-2010 03:12 PM                     Well I was going to go until I saw that the Grand Poo-Bah isn't going to be there. Another sign of how crappy 2010 is starting off....  |  IP: Logged Manny Montes Master Film Handler Posts: 270 From: United States Registered: Feb 2010 posted 03-02-2010 10:39 PM                     Quick question, I've always wanted to go to showest but due to travel expenses, time off, etc I've never had a chance. Should I just try and plan better? Or is Showeast a pretty good substitute? Showeast is really close for me, and I can't wait to go to either show Just wanted to know if showeast is even close  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Mind you a Cinema show is but a "gathering" compared to other industries. ShowEast's trade show is about 1/4 the size of ShoWest.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 03-03-2010 02:30 AM                     I went in 2006 and 2007 and had total fun at both. But true, would like to make the 2011 premiere convention across the street at Caesar's Palace looking from Bally's.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-03-2010 10:24 AM                     I've been attending these shows since 1982 so I will definitely be there this year since it's the last and I can say Good Riddens to Balley's!!! They really should tear that place down... it's become way too dated even for Vegas. I am looking foreword to the new Show at Cesar's next year and may actually attend the entire shabang... A new location/producer for Show West is way over due. I am also planning on checking out the Pawn Shop that is featured on Pawn Stars... Those guys are such a hoot!  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 03-03-2010 12:27 PM                        So they're going back to Caesars. Everything old is new again. My first ShoWest, where I got to run the Tron promo reel for Disney (who provided all of the projection for ShoWest that year), was at Caesars. Hopefully, I'll be so busy next year I won't be able to attend.  |  IP: Logged Chris Mosel Film Handler Posts: 74 From: New Braunfels, TX, USA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 03-04-2010 12:40 PM                     Mark, be ready to wait in line at "Pawn Stars." I was going to stop there last week and there was a line of 50+ with a door man limiting the number of people allowed in at one time. This was at 7:30 in the morning so I just drove right on by.  |  IP: Logged
