Our 10th annual October Show is now quickly approaching, and we’re sending this update out a week early just to remind everyone that you only have two weeks left (until the weekend of September 4th) to order advance tickets and save ten bucks a pass over day-of-show prices.

Starting September 5th, you’ll still be able to save five bucks a pass until we stop taking advance ticket orders the weekend of September 18th, but we also like to brag that we not only offer more stuff for every fan to do all weekend than any other convention running today, but we also offer everything FREE with the price of a pass into the show. Jump on an advance 3-Day Pass, and you’ll get it all at a recession-busting price that’s easy on everyone’s budget.

Everything is, as always, running as smoothly as can be on our end. A bunch of new movies we’re just added to the web site and it looks like we’ll have more panels, events, and talks than any past show this time around. The entire weekend schedule of events should be finished and posted by the beginning of September so everyone can begin plotting out their weekend. Get ready to count on very little sleep this show.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who passed out, or continues to pass out, a flier or postcard for the October show. We mailed or handed out 10,000 postcards and almost 5,000 fliers for the October show by the beginning of August so word about the show is out there and we have dozens of fans across the country to thank for helping spread the Wasteland word.

OK, here they are. The last reminders before show time.

TICKETS: For everything we offer our attending fans, there is no better bargain out there than an advance ticket to a Cinema Wasteland Show we can find; and no better time to plan to be with us for our next show than right now. No “hidden fees” at a Wasteland show guarantees every fan through the door is treated just like the person standing next to you in line; and your ticket in gets you everything we have to offer except for an autograph from our guests. Order before 9/4/09 and you can get an advance 3-Day Pass for only $35.00. And don’t forget that a 3-Day Pass gets you into the Dealer and Guest Room half an hour before single day pass holders without paying ridiculous “early admission fees” other conventions rip people off for. Fans actually get rewarded for saving money at a Wasteland show! You can also save $5.00 on any single day pass ordered in advance before 9/4/09 and get in for only $15.00 per day.

HOTEL: One thing you can always count on is that the hotel will be sold out by show time. And we take up every available room these past couple of years too. As of this update, the hotel still has a few rooms available, so avoid the headache of having to stay down the road by making your room reservations today. Reserve your room by calling The Holiday Inn direct at (440) 238-8800. (And keep calling if we fill up as show time draws close. A room could open up at any time.) Remember you MUST ask for “The Cinema Wasteland Rate”, or they will tell you that they are ”sold out” and have no rooms. AND PLEASE only reserve as many rooms as you plan on using. If you need to book more than one room, please call Lynn Ebner directly at 1-440-783-3006 and she will take care of your multiple room reservations.

FANS PICK TOP FIVE 10th ANNIVERSARY GUESTS: This October will mark our 10th Annual Fall Show and begins the Cinema Wasteland Movie and Memorabilia Expo’s tenth complete year of Convention Domination. For our big 10th complete year Anniversary Show next October 1-3, 2010, attending fans will get to choose the top five guests they would like to see return for the anniversary show. We’ve not only had more first time guests than any show I’ve ever attended as a fan myself, but over 30 of them have never made a second appearance at CW or any other con out there. Add in the fact that we’ve had all kinds of popular guests that haven’t been with us in three years or more right now, and the selection is wide open to pick your favorites for a return visit. The only catch? NO EMAIL OR WEB VOTING. Since I couldn’t care less what somebody who has never actually attended a CW Show thinks about a CW Show, only those who attend the next two shows will get a chance to vote and I’ll add up ballots by hand to pick the winners. Ballots will be available at Registration and everyone attending will get a chance to vote for their top returning guest choices this October, and again next April.

We here at Cinema Wasteland are gearing up for way too many convention appearances here in a couple of weeks. We’ll be on the road from the second week of September through the first weekend of November. If you can’t make our October show, then why not check out the “Meet The Wasteland” page to see if we’ll be in your area over the next couple of months? It’s always great to see friends and fans on our travels.

Unless I have some really cool last minute news to fill everyone in on, this will be the last update before show time. Don’t forget that we’ll have first news on our April 9-11, 2010 “Spring Spectacular” available at October’s show - and man is it going to be one show no fan will want to miss.

Here’s hoping I’ll see you all in just a few short weeks,

Ken
