[sawduster]

Hi all,

Makeup and Effects Labs is planning to host a Prop Party for any and all RPF members. The date set is April 16th 2011. We have been in contact with Hollywood Treasures and they are most interested in attending and shooting elements for their syfy series.
If you are planning to attend please post or IM me so we have an idea of how many folks are coming.

10am-3pm

Address for M.E.L. is:
7110 Laurel Canyon Blvd
North Hollywood, CA
at the intersection of Laurel Canyon Blvd and Sherman Way

On site parking is available.

Please feel free to post any questions, suggestions etc.. More details as they develop.



M.E.L. has been in business for over 30 years and last November we doubled our facility. Here is a link to our website for more background on the company:

I wish I could make it, but that is the same date as the Long Beach Grand Prix race that I will be attending.

If the date changes I'd love to go.

That's close for me, I'd try to make that.

TymerDC was mentioning this to me yesterday when I took his kids out for ice cream in Herbie... If you can nail down the date I'll see if I can make it with Herbie or the Bond BMW, but I just made plans today to do a large amount of construction on my house that weekend.

Also, if there is interest in getting any of the other movie cars to attend from the last SoCal prop party we need at least 4-6 weeks notice - our event calendar is pretty full on most of the weekends between now and November!

The date is now set, it will be on April 16th. We're thinking of 10:00am to 3:00pm.

Hollywood Treasures will be here to shoot some elements for an episode of their series.

I'll be bringing my full size replica of Robby and I'll have some other bits as well. I also have parts for a full size George Pal Time Machine here.

The shop has several pieces we've worked on in the past on display in the main shop.

Brian ..if nothing else just bring yourself..you know your welcome.

 

[TymerDC]

Guys...we need to know if anyone is going and if you need food provided. We were thinking Hamburgers which would be a small charge. I just got wind of this and am now scrambling to see if there is any interest.....please PM me or Don.

 

[TymerDC]

Here's some teasers of things you might see:

 

[Ghost Host]

Aw, if I was still down there I'd have loved to come! Any of the old MEL guys gonna be there, like Allan Apone, Doug Barnett, Dave Heilman?

 

[gobler]

I'll be there!! Or will do my best. MEL was my first "long term" shop job :thumbsup Loved it. Ghost Host and I worked on a show together (if he remembers :$) Parking lot is on the small side (unless they have moved) so you may need to park on the street.

It would be great to see Doug and or Dave again...
If you go to there (MELs) website they have photos. They have one of me from what 1994??

Apone might be there if hes not on location somewhere. As far as Doug..I'll have to ask. Dave I'll be calling and inviting.....don't know yet if hes going.

 

[TymerDC]

Parking lot is on the small side (unless they have moved) so you may need to park on the street.

Jeff....they have since bought out the adjoining buildings on the lot so there's more parking.....depending on how many show up there is weather anyone would have to park on the street or not.

 

[sawduster]

As Dennis mentioned, MEL has taken over the entire complex now and all the parking. With some stacked parking I think we can handle 30+ cars in the lot.

Doug Barnett has been running a Quaker church in downtown LA for the last 15 years or so. Somewhere near the Shrine Auditorium. :confused

I know this is short notice but we had to fit into the production schedule of Hollywood Treasures. They will be sending a small crew to film some elements, they will not be staying the entire day. I'll try to find out what time they will be there so you can plan to be there or not when they are.:rolleyes

 

[BrianM]

Will Robby be there?

Since MEL is just down the street from HMS where the part 2 sale is on the same day it makes it an easy day trip to LA.

C U there...

Yes Don's Robby the Robot will be there.

 

[TymerDC]

Comon guys...anyone else wanna go? PM me

 

[BrianM]

I think folks may be confused since you are holding it at a prop house.

Are we supposed to bring our stuff for display as well, like D&B last month, or is this to show of MEL's new facility, and their stuff for Syfi?

Will there be table space? food? drinks for sale? What should we bring?

[Art Andrews]

Argh!!! Wish I was staying in LA through next weekend.

 

[PepMaster]

God I wish I could make it but I won't be moved out to LA until next month.

I was told there will be table space to display stuff so you can bring things to show if you want to and its encouraged. Also food and drinks will be available ...we talked about grilling burgers and providing drinks for a small charge. Hopefully Don will chime in soon with more info and details.
