Any Convention discounts with hotels?

Sorry, this year the "discounts" were higher than you can get online.

Steve -- could we encourage people to write their VideoKarma handles (and emails, too?) on name tags this year at the Convention? Would help us to identify each other...just a suggestion.

[Steve McVoy]

OK. If you are a VK member and coming to the convention, email me your VK handle:

[email protected]

I'll add it to the name tag

Looking forward to the Early TV Convention.
First time for me.

Any activities Friday afternoon?

What time do most folks arrive Saturday morning?

Hope everyone has a safe travel event.

[Steve McVoy]

No formal activities, but people arrive as early as Thursday. There will be people at the museum all day Friday. There is beer, wine, etc. at the get together Friday evening.

Steve will there be an live auction video online this year?????

[Steve McVoy]

Yes, the auction and presentations will be live on the internet. There is no provision for bidding online, however. If you aren't attending and want to bid, you need to find someone at the convention to bid for you.

I'm really quite new to the hobby and I'm actually still working on my very first restoration. Would I be welcome to attend, or is this limited to well-established collectors and restorers? I really think it'd be a fun time . . .

[Steve McVoy]

We would love for you to attend. This year there are at least 15 people I don't know who are coming. Please register as soon as you can if you are coming.

We were all new at some point. And many of the folks I've met at the Early Television Convention over the past 10 years have become good friends, folks from all over the U.S. and from around the world. You won't find a nicer bunch of crazy people!

Not only welcome, but crazy NOT to attend, IMO. See you there!

Be interesting during the "beer and wine" session Friday night to get folks to introduce themselves and briefly mention how we can associate them with a forum handle, etc.
