Movies revealed for G-Fest…

Sadly, I now longer work at the library across the street from the Pickwick theater. However, I will barely have enough vacation to take off the appropriate afternoon on July 9th. As you will see from the information below, that makes me VERY happy.

I will then have barely enough left over to head down to Texas for the 10th Anniversary T-Fest on September 26th. But that’s another event.

G-Fest will run on the weekend of July 10th-12th, in Rosemont IL. Details can be found at www.g-fan-com. Here is their movie schedule, all features shown at the beautiful ’20s movie palace the Pickwick.

Thursday July 9th Afternoon Shift

1:00 Them!
3:30 The Deadly Mantis

Thursday July 9th Evening Shift

7:00 Gamera vs. Jiger
9:00 Gamera: Guardian of the Universe

Friday July 10th Late Night

10:30 PM Godzilla vs. Biolante

Saturday July 11th Late Night

10:30 Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1993)

As you can see, that’s a fantastic line-up. I don’t attend the actual convention, and I have to work on Friday, but if anyone wants to come in and attend or just hit the movies, I’ll give you rough accommodations and pop for a Superdawg.

  • The Rev.

    I went to one of the first G-Fests 20 (!) years ago, and have never been able to make it back. *sigh* What a selection, though! I’d love to see most of those in a theater.

  • Darn but I’d love to see that lineup in a theater!

  • Once again it’s been made clear that I live in the wrong state.

    Man, there isn’t a title there I wouldn’t want to see on the big screen.

  • Eric Hinkle

    I’d love to see those films on the big screen. Enjoy yourself, Ken.
