Dear Subscribers:

Below is a full CE Calendar, with New York area press events and out-of-town line showings and/or press conferences listed first, followed by the trade shows.

(Remember, it is out of date.)

Note some of the changes and updates with line shows, with the week of June 19th shaping up as "CE Line Show Week in New York."

Listings that are new (or updated) since the April 20 CE Calendar Update are indicated with an "*."

If you want to discuss any scheduling questions, I will be out of town from May 5 to May 13, but you can leave a phone message at 212-735-5771 or E-mail me.
