Author Topic: Great States Convention John Scott Master Film Handler Posts: 252 From: Oakdale, MN, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 08-02-2002 08:29 PM                     Just curious, but is anyone planning on going to this convention in Lake Geneva, WI this year? I'll be going.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-03-2002 12:14 AM                     The Great States convention is pretty much a waste of time. If you like to play golf with other theatre buddys its the place to go though. They are taking turns having it out here in the mountain states and then in Lake Geneva every other year. Now I've spent alot of time in Lake Geneva as I lived not too far fomr there most of my life....Its nice, but no cigar in comparison to having it out here in the mountains. Good for some vendors though.

I haven't missed a convention in many years, but I'm going to miss this one. Too expensive to attend (with airfare, car, hotel, etc. it's probably about 3x what it used to cost to go to a Rocky Mountain meet). Next year's is in Colorado Springs, which will work out better for me.  |  IP: Logged Joe Beres Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 606 From: Minneapolis, MN, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 08-06-2002 02:00 PM                     Is there a webpage or another place to get more info on this convention? Seeing how it isn't too far away, I might take a drive out there.  |  IP: Logged John Scott Master Film Handler Posts: 252 From: Oakdale, MN, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 08-06-2002 04:45 PM                     I'm not sure if there is a website, but there are ads for it with phone and fax numbers for information in Box Office, Film Journal, and what used to be the IME Yellow Pages for this year. Great States is a Merging of the conventions of the Rocky Mountain NATO convention, and the NATO of WI/MI convention.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-14-2002 11:31 AM                        Bumping this back to the top to see if anyone else is attending this meet, which starts Wed. 9/18.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-14-2002 10:45 PM                     I can't think of A good reason to go there. Since I'm from the area and have been to bueatiful Lake Geneva a thousand times. Next years meet is back in the mountain states where it belongs! In Colorado Springs(I think) so we will probably be there. Mark @ Claco  |  IP: Logged
