NC Moving Image Archivists

[Skip Elsheimer <skip AT avgeeks.com>]

We had a great time doing Home Movie Day. Below is our report of the event..

 I'm wondering if we should 
do another one in another part of the state - like in Winston-Salem or 
Charlotte or something like that.

We Raleighites really like 
using the NC State Archives auditorium, so we'd probably still do HMD on
 the official day in October, but I feel like I'd like to help do 
another HMD elsewhere - maybe early or mid next year.

Just a thought...
