| Keir Dullea & Gary Lockwood |
|
| At 5:00 p.m. I had to stop taking pictures in the dealers’ room and run upstairs to the seminar room where actors Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood were giving a talk with the emphasis on their roles in the famous 1968 Stanley Kubrick movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. I took a few pictures of them and would have liked to hear more about how how Dr. David Bowman and Dr. Frank Poole piloted the Spacecraft Discovery One to Jupiter and what happened next. But I already knew most of that since I had already read the book and seen the movie in 1968. So I went back downstairs to finish taking pictures in the dealers’ room. |

| Martin Grams, Jr. (green shirt) is this show’s promoter and does his share of the grunt work. Here is is setting up the equipmemt for the 9:00 p.m. screening of 2001: A Space Odyssey in the same seminar room where Dullea and Lockwood had spoken earlier. I chided Marty for not having Dr. Bowman and Dr. Poole on hand to narrate the movie for us but Marty said they couldn’t stick around that late. Before Marty arrived, I had set up my camera and took some time to do some bragging to the younger members of the audience about me having seen the movie when it was first released in 1968. I said I had already read the book by Arthur C. Clarke so I understood the movie better than the many movie critics and general public of that day who hadn’t read the book and were confused by the mysterious events in the movie. I also put in a plug for the paperback book by Arthur C. Clarke Lost Worlds of 2001 which explains how he and director Stanley Kubrick worked on the movie together. Marty said he had just recently read the book and agreed that it explained events in the movie better than the movie itself did. |
