Would there be any interest?

[gary]

How's this for a thought. Would any of you be interested in seeing a gallery display of a vintage collection of press material? All sorts of press matter could be at our festival this year? I'm talking the real deal. It’s time for me to start getting serious about booking this year’s events. One of the connections I made early on through the festival last year was with this man that has the most amazing collection of icons from my past. I spent over four hours spellbound by these treasures. So let me know if you think it would be fun, because if I do it I want to do it right in a proper gallery environment. gary Night of the Living Dead only thelivingdeadfest.com

Gary, dude, that sounds awesome! I would totally want to check that out, and would likely make plans to fly out to whatever convention that you have this on exhibit. Thanks!

Would any of you be interested in seeing a gallery display of a vintage collection of press material? HELL YEAH, I'd be interested! You'll just need to schedule a good five hours when I won't need to be doing anything else, so that I can enjoy this collection. Yojimbo, if you can make it out to Gary's festival in October, we'll hit all the filming locations including the mall.

I think that it is a wonderful idea!

Yeah man I just have to take a look at that stuff, wonder who it could be with all of that ???? So I'll be taking you up on that offer of hitting up the filming locations. Ah yes, just love inviting myself to these type of things. Thank's DC.

Yeah man I just have to take a look at that stuff, wonder who it could be with all of that ???? It ain't me! You haven't met this guy yet, but his collection is insane. It literally takes hours to see it all. So I'll be taking you up on that offer of hitting up the filming locations. Ah yes, just love inviting myself to these type of things. Thank's DC. Inviting yourself? I was counting on you driving. Thanks DT.

Kool. But then you have to bail me out of Jail too. And Gary.

I'm beginning to worry there might not be enough interest to bring him out. I was hoping this thread would have been off the charts with interest but there's only a few. The thread is getting enough hits but nobody posting. Do you think that means people don't understand what it is?

[Danny Terror]

What's up Gary !! Yes that could be it. Perhaps people don't get it. Any way to explain it in a little more detail?? This guy has GOT to attend. It'll make it all the better. Danny T.

Well, my wife and I are planning on coming up to attend, so I hope that more folks come on board so that you can get this to happen. Really looking forward to this, in addition to shaking your hand! Perhaps people don't get it. Any way to explain it in a little more detail?? This guy has GOT to attend. It'll make it all the better. Danny T. I agree with Danny - a little more detail might make this clearer to the crew.

Gary is talking about a fan that owns a massive collection of NOLD promo materials: original posters, lobby cards, photos, ad slicks, newspaper clippings, you name it. Last year, they utilized some of this material in a slideshow that preceded the screening. This year, Gary would like the Living Dead Festival to host this collection in a proper gallery setting. AFAIK, something like this has never been attempted before now. Gary, at this point, you're not going to get the sort of off-the-chart response that you're looking for. The idea of displaying such a huge collection at a festival honoring the film is in itself so completely "off-the-charts" that nobody really understands what it means. You just have to go for it and allow word-of-mouth to spread as The Living Dead Fest becomes the ultimate event for Night of the Living Dead fans. Trust me, it will happen. The festival is more than six months away, but already it will be a chance to see my pal Danny Terror (whom I don't get to hang with nearly often enough) and finally meet Yojimbo for the first time. I don't see how it can get any better than that, but obviously, it will. I can't wait!

DC thank you for your continued support. I guess I get so excited about stuff like this I expect everyone to be equally excited. The truth is I’m going to do what I’m going to do with the festival anyway. But I really want fans to get to see and do things they haven’t been able to do up to this point. This festival is a tribute to NIGHT and I want to do that justice. The thought that this might be a gathering place for people like you and Danny Terror and Yojimbo is what’s exciting to me. Be patient with me, you just need to know how important it is for me to do this event right for the fans first and foremost. I’ll spend more time building a gangbuster event and less time trying to gather instant gratification. For any of you people that have done something like this you know you spend so much of your time in a vacuum. With last year’s event I didn’t know how well it was going to go over till the night of the screening.

[Danny Terror]

DC- That's nice of you to say. I appreciate it and yeah ... Hooking up again to do "Living Dead" stuff is really gonna be great. Gary: - I am more excited about this event than you can Imagine. Me and Jim got to pal around with alot of NOTLD folks together last year, but he told me "You gotta meet Gary" and so I will. The show is gonna be fine. We are all gonna support it and all of us are going to spread the word about it. Shit, I've ALREADY talked this event up with some other Chicago NOTLD fans/friends so who knows what the turnout will truly be. I'm also looking forward to making new friends and seeing Kyra, Chuck and Judy again. Whatever you do just remember ... As long as I'm going your gonna have fun. Trust me. (Ask DC) Danny
