Thor it is America so most of the shops are open also on sundays. Amoeba is open from 11am - 9pm (other days 10:30am - 11pm)
I hope you have planned enough hours for that visit. Espacially when it is the first time

I received today an extensive e-mail from Peter Hackman with all details you can imagine.
Although I will brief everyone on the procedures of the day on the spot you may wrestle through this:
Saturday September 1st, 2012 The Beverly Garland Hotel 4222 Vineland Ave. North Hollywood, CA 91602 (800) 238-3759
Composers who are scheduled to come
Bruce Broughton-Marco Beltrami-Trevor Morris-George S. Clinton-Walter Murphy-William Ross-Craig Safan-Richard Sherman-Robert Folk-Theodore Shapiro-Edward Shearmur-Deborah Lurie
The first panel starts at 10AM, doors open at 9AM. We will have a goodie bag from the fine folks at La La Land Records and a limited supply of goodie bags from Howlin Wolf Records.
We ask that all guests arrive at least 20 minutes before, so to avoid any folks disrupting the panel and the great composers talking once the panel begins at 10AM.
The panel should last til around 11:30AM, then we will have an autograph signing. Due to many of these composers busy schedules and for the fact that we have another panel at 1:30, as well as lunch, fans will be limited to three (3) items per composer. So, since we have 12 composers, you could get at the max 36 NEW autographs. We are putting together a very special 11X17 mini poster to hand out to everyone who comes to the event as well. This will be exclusive to this event. We will have staff members in front of the autograph table to help make sure you have your items ready to be signed as I can not stress enough how quickly we must get through everyone. Will you be able to have a 10 minute conversation with each composer as they sign, sadly no. You must be aware of the many people behind you in line. We want all of them to get through the line as well, so I will be asking folks to try their utter best to hurry through the line. I'm also asking folks if they can resist getting stuff personalized because the need of getting everyone through the autograph line. If you want pictures taken with the composers, you can do that before the event starts or after the signing. The way the tables are lined up and the lines we'll have for the autographs it will be impossible for folks to walk around the tables to get a photo. This must be done before or after. We all must work together and think about the guy/gal behind us so everyone can get through the autograph line. Again, that is three per composer, that doesn't mean…"I only have 1 for Trevor Morris, so I'll add those two extra to Richard Sherman and give Richard 5 instead of 3 to sign." (Composers schedules are subject to change) I can not tell you how important it is for all of us to work together so everyone can get through the line. We also want to hurry as well because it will be lunch time and these composers are going to want to go to lunch and continue on with their very busy day.
Panel 2 will start at 1:30PM and will last til around 3PM and we will again have an autograph signing. The hotel is rented out in the evening and we must be finished NO later then 4PM, so we again must all work together to get through the autograph line super quick so everyone can. It would be sad if folks don't work at this and people can't get through the line. 4PM, the hotel is kicking us out, so to speak. At 4PM, the line stops and I hope everyone has gotten through the line as we are being kicked out of the ballroom for their next event which they will need to start setting up for.
When you show up at their Grand Ballroom, you will be asked your name by our door greeter. She will cross you off the list and you will go to the table with name tags and you will put yours on. This will also be your re-entry pass in case you leave the ballroom to step outside. This will also help us from having to keep asking folks, what's your name again. We will have a few give aways as well this year. They will be on a table and you will be able to put your name on a piece of paper and put them into a jar and we will call a winner later on. You will find what those items are at the event, not sooner. We will also be raffling off a few backstage passes to the following day's Hollywood Bowl concert, which is called The Big Picture: Paramounts 100th Anniversary, which will be conducted by the great David Newman, with special guests Alan Silvestri, Lalo Schifrin, Michael Giacchino and hosted by Jason Alexander. This concert is again the following day Sunday September 2nd at 7:30PM. Tickets to that concert for Sunday September 2nd are still available at http://www.hollywoodbowl.com/tickets/big-picture-paramounts-100th-anniversary/2012-09-02. You are responsible for getting your own ticket into the concert.
We will be selling backstage tickets for 2 tickets for $5.00, so $5.00 gets you two tickets, $10.00 gets you 4 and so on. All proceeds go to The American Youth Symphony (AYS), http://www.aysymphony.org. These backstage passes were generously donated by David Newman who was a guest last year at the 2nd Fans of Film Music Celebration. Winning a backstage pass gets you in backstage only. You will only be allowed to win one backstage pass, so for example if you win one and the next number I call happens to be one of yours again, we will call another number. I have no idea right now who will be backstage, but since Alan Silvestri and Michael Giacchino and Lalo Schifrin and Jason Alexander are scheduled to attend, there is a very good chance after the Sunday September 2nd concert they will be back stage and you could get the chance to meet these legendary guys. As well since it's Paramounts 100th Anniversary, there could also be a few movie stars in attendance that may come backstage after the concert as well. The lucky winners will meet me at the ARISTS ENTRANCE which if you are in the audience looking at the Hollywood Bowl Stage, the ARTISTS ENTRANCE is on the left behind the stage. You must accompany me backstage, so I will be there right after the concert waiting on everyone to show up, we will all go in together and leave together. I will wait roughly 20 minutes which should be ample time for anyone to make their way from their seat to the ARTISTS ENTRANCE.
Sunday at 1PM, I have an open invitation to anyone who wants to come have brunch at HOME Restaurant and their address is 2500 Riverside Drive, Silver Lake, CA 90039. Their phone number is 323-665-0211 in case you get lost or need any extra help. I thought meeting up on Sunday would be fun for us to talk about the fun we all had during the weekend and many folks will be flying out later that day and/or Monday. This can be our final time to hang out and chat. HOME has great food, reasonably priced. They have inside seating and very cozy outside seating which is where we will be. I invite whoever wants to come to show up!
After our Fans of Film Music Celebration that ends at 4PM SHARP on Saturday, many will be going to see Mr. John Williams perform with the Hollywood Bowl. Concert starts at 8PM. If you have never seen John Williams in concert, I can not tell you how incredibly it is. I've seen him in a concert setting in an auditorium which is quite lovely, but seeing him at the Bowl with the stars above is very magical and a memory you won't soon forget. Tickets for that concert can be found here http://www.hollywoodbowl.com/tickets/john-williams-maestro-of-movies/2012-09-01.
If for any reason one of these gifted composers were unable to come at the last minute, I will be updating the official website at www.fansoffiilmmusic.com. The last day I can update my website before I, myself fly out is August 26th. So from the 27th til our event on the 1st of September, if for any reason someone can't come, please go to this message board and look at the FIRST post and I will make a note about he/she who won't be able to come. http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=87559&forumID=1&archive=0 As well, many of you are on Facebook. Our official Facebook page at, Fans of Film Music, will also be updated as well if for any reason one or more guest can't come due to scheduling or emergencies etc. etc. If for any reason we add another reason which I don't see us doing, you can find that name on the sites I listed in this paragraph.
Parking at the hotel for our event is $7.00, but there is street parking across the street. If you do choose and can find a spot on the street, MAKE sure you read all posted signs. We want to make sure your car is still there after the event. If you do choose to pay the $7.00 which is what I'll be doing because it's so much easier, you will turn into the main entrance of the hotel, turn left, you will go to a parking gate, get a ticket and the lever will raise, go through and park. Take your ticket with you. The hotel has informed me that there are no in/out privileges. So each time you want to leave the premises you will have to pay the $7.00 and leave, come back and get a new ticket and then pay before you leave again. Before you leave, you will need to pay the $7.00 ticket at the front desk. Do this right before you leave. When you leave the parking gate will ask for your ticket. You will put your PAID ticket into the machine and you will be able to leave.
Lunch on Saturday September 1st. I HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt any of us are going to have much time at all to leave the premises for lunch. From the end of the first panel around 11:30AM and then the start of the autograph signing and with the next panel starting at 1:30PM, no one will have time to leave and really get a real lunch. That is why I am telling each of you, I would seriously think about bringing a deli sandwich that you can get at a gas station or a grocery store and a bottled water. The hotel does have a small gift shop with some light snacks and cokes, I do believe. If you don't do the autograph thing that is fine, you may want to go tot he Hotel's restaurant on site called Tula's. The faster you can get through the autograph line, the more time you'll have for lunch. You may want to call them and/or make a reservation 818-255-7290. Just make sure you are back a good 15 minutes prior to panel two which starts at 1:30PM. I myself will be bringing a deli sandwich and a water for my lunch and I HIGHLY advise all of you to do the same. Our time from the end of the first autograph signing to the start of panel two is SO short there is just not enough time to go out for a real lunch. Tula's website is located here with info as well http://www.beverlygarland.com/dining/tulas.php#Tulas.
Perseverance Records http://www.perseverancerecords.com will be on hand selling soundtrack CD's. They will have a VERY limited supply of Craig Safan's score to Remo Williams which has since sold out. He will also have Craig Safan's score to Circus, as well as many others, so you can buy it there and get it signed. Just remember three is the limit per composer.
Streaming Soundtracks www.streamingsoundtracks.com will also be on hand to tell you about their exciting website where you can listen to great film music.
Creature Features www.creaturefeatures.com will also be there selling soundtrack CD's and a few other cool items. They will also be premiering author Randall Larson's new book Musique Fantastique. More info on that exciting book can be found here http://www.creaturefeatures.com/products/books/musique-fantastique/ Creature Features will be accepting cash and credit cards for the new book.
Randall will also be in attendance and would be honored to sign his book for you.
Well that is it, read this over a few times, I tried to put ALL the details of the weekend in it. It should be a FUN weekend for sure!
See you soon

On Friday evening there's a networking evening at Henry Stanny's place (filmmusiccritic and - collector)
I have been invited for that but it seems to be open to participants of FoFM too. If you wanna go there as well let me know and I'll forward the address.
(this is not a part of the SST-meetings)

Dutch, thank you for all this wonderful information! I really just cannot wait. I know the email you copied in here if from the FoFM guy, so I don't know how much you can tell me...do you know what the poster will look like that they will be handing out? I'm just wondering if I can have all the composers sign that. As much as I would love autographed CDs, I don't want to pack them all and lug them all over LA. I can't believe how many wonderful composers will be there!! Eeep!
As for SST stuff...it seems like a lot of people will be in CA by Friday, either arriving that day or the day before (I am scheduled to come in Friday around 3, 3:30ish)....are there any plans for meeting somewhere for dinner? I'm sorry if this has been broached already and I am behind...
And, I know there will have to be a day for Amoeba shopping  Has that been determined yet? I am good to go with the flow, but I want to make sure I don't miss anything!
