Would there be any interest?

[MoonSylver]

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? I didn't respond just because I'm not going to be there (I pretty much never get to go ANYWHERE...), but if I WERE going I would LOVE to see a collection like that!

Moon there is going to be an Exhibit Book available so you will be able to see it that way. Also we are going to do special interview's with the collector via Skype on our website over the next few months. Thanks for your support!!~

I've never met Dubious in person, but looking forward to finally meeting him after all this time. Danny, as well, seems a cool dude and sounds like it would be fun to tip a few with him. Gary is the man, of course, so I gotta be there to shake his hand. To me, all this would be enough. But throw in the opportunity to see Kyra, et al, plus revisit some key GAR locations -- dudes, I can hardly wait. My wife is also on board for this, and at some point over the weekend at her request we are going to take a side mission to Latrobe to lay some flowers on Mr. Fred Rodger's grave, something that we meant to do last time we were in Pittsburgh but ran out of time to do. Anyone who wants to tag along with us can feel free! I didn't respond just because I'm not going to be there (I pretty much never get to go ANYWHERE...), but if I WERE going I would LOVE to see a collection like that! C'mon Moon! You can break away for a few days in October and come hang with me and my wife! Moon, you gotta go brother!

I didn't respond just because I'm not going to be there (I pretty much never get to go ANYWHERE...), but if I WERE going I would LOVE to see a collection like that! Hey, I'm like you. With family, work, bills, etc, plus my commitment to the kid's music activities in the fall, there is no possible way I could make this thing (why couldn't have this happened six years ago when I was single and had $ falling out of my pockets?). However, if I could go, I'd be doing back-flips over seeing a display like the one Gary is describing. Yes, definitely go for it! Diehard NofLD fans deserve to see something like this! -stray-

Yojimbo thank you for The kind words. I also look forward to meeting you and Mrs. Yojimbo at the Fest.We all will have a great time, I just know it. Please help spread the word about it as well. We need to get as many fans in on this as we can. Danny

stray now you got me up all night trying to think of what I can do for all the folk like you that can't make it out to Evans City!!~ Heck, I'd be happy if everyone who does go would just take loads of pictures and post them right here! As a side note: I ran the idea of visiting Evans City in the fall past my wife this evening. She kinda raised an eyebrow and asked: "Sounds like you'll have fun. Are you going to see "her"?" ("her" being an ex-girlfriend of mine who happens to live in Cranberry TWP). I actually have no desire to see "her", but I would enjoy getting to EC for this convention. (and to stock up on a couple of cases of Iron City). So, at this point, I've moved to possibility of a visit from "impossible" to "maybe ... MAYBE". We'll just have to wait and see ... family commitments, as always, will have to come first. -stray-

[ProfessorChaos]

but what about your internet family, stray?

[Debbieangel]

Yojimbo, I am looking forward to meeting you and your wife too!! This is going to be sooo cool to meet internet friends. Ya all are soo coool!!! It sure has been fun getting to know lots of folks on hp! Only fellow "Deadheads" understand my love for the zombies! What is cooler yet is all the intelligent convo's you all get into about the zombies. Yeah, we are nerds...but lovable nerds!!!!

All right now we are talking, HARD CORE NIGHT PEOPLE hooking up in Evans City. This is my dream come true. Follow this little magical mystery tour and you will not go wrong. I don't see how we can keep up this excitement for another 6 months but we will have a blast trying. I do however feel like I'm just dropping in on a party that has been going on among you folks for a long time and I have some catching up to do.

Well that's one done deal!!~ The Gallery Exhibit of vintage "Night of The Living Dead" advertising from literally day one is in production. It's almost terrifying how happy this makes me. I have a # of other very cool things in the works probably the biggest to the overall festival will be the re-launch of the website on May 14. Lots of new content, hopefully more informative and at the very least it can help bring a lot of like-minded people to a really friendly town to have a laugh. What’s wrong with that!
