Just to share with you my experiences of contacting the USA Schulz Museum about the possibility of organizing an "in-depth" Schulz exhibition in Hong Kong:

Dear See-yan,
Thank you for your interest in bringing Peanuts to Hong Kong and I’m so glad you were able to see the recent exhibitions. I think you’re right and there is interest in “in-depth” exhibitions.

We have some nice exhibitions currently available that are reproductions: https://schulzmuseum.org/explore/traveling-exhibitions/rent-a-traveling-exhibit/
Please let me know if you would like more information. "Heartbreak in Peanuts" went to Korea a few years ago and it was enjoyed very much.

As far as an exhibition of original comic strips, I currently do not have one available for touring.  It’s something we are discussing, but it wouldn’t be possible for a few more years. I am happy to contact you and let you know when and if it’s possible.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions.
I wish you all the best this next year!

Sincerely,
Natasha Cochran

I browsed the website. We don't need GBG Hong Kong to approve, but the problem is that it is expensive. The fee is as follows.
Non-Profit Rental Fee US$10,000 + inbound shipping (call for commercial rates)
Booking Period 12 weeks
Contents 38 framed reproductions of original Peanuts strips, photographs, a selection of themed objects and ephemera, 2 animation film clips, text and graphic panels, object labels, and access to media/graphic images
Size 1,500 to 2,000 sq. ft. recommended (170 linear feet)
Shipping Crates 6 crates
Insurance Value US$18,285
And we have to find the venue ourselves (i.e. booking fee of the venue is NOT included.)

But I still have a dream of organizing such an exhibition, using the name of our Club with you in the future.

So, let's keep this information in our mind first and plan for it.

Thank you for reading such a long message from me.

Schulz Exhibition Part 2

Dear See-yan,

Movie Mistakes

Movie mistakes of A Charlie Brown Christmas:

(Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nus2YSF9HOQ&feature=youtu.be)

- This boy and girl are part of the train, then the boy is missing.

- This pile of bones never gets any smaller.

- Lucy's psychiatric sign keeps changing.

- Here they come out of a yellow wooden building. It turns into a red brick building.

- This tree has two branches, then become more than three branches.

- The American flag of course, then who stole it? And then who return it?

- Frieda and Snoopy change position suddenly.

Movie mistakes of It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown:

(Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oD97l16zXo8&feature=youtu.be)

- We never see Linus walk passed this open hole. (?!)

- There are 9 planks here, but now there are just 7.

- There were apples and leaves before Lucy and Linus go to the pumpkin patch, but they disappears when they return. (?!)

- Suddenly Lucy is holding a piece of paper. (?!)

- The mail box initially has no writing on it, then suddenly it has the words "U.S. Mail" writing on it.

- 10 holes in Charlie Brown's costume, then suddenly only two holes.

- Two more children suddenly appear when Pig Pen arrives. (?!)

- Lucy claims to have only gotten five pieces of candy after receiving more than 10 candies from the first house. (?!)

- Violet suddenly has a pen at her right hand. (?!)

- There are 5 apples in the tank, but suddenly there are only 4. (?!)

Schulz Exhibition

(個人意見，我up吓咋，長文慎入)

去完倫敦的Peanuts Exhibition之後有個感概。

我去過美國加州、日本東京及英國倫敦的Peanuts exhibitions, 

它們因為有Schulz Research Centre的加持，

所以都是非常有深度的介紹Schulz創作背景。

當然它們也有商業成份，

例如打卡及消費原素，

但是那些入場人士都是非常專注於睇漫畫的理念。

反觀香港、澳門、台灣、中國國內、馬來西亞、泰國、新加坡、印尼、韓國的，

就只流於拍照、飲食及購物。

可能GBG怕如果攪咁嚴肅的的展覽，

亞洲區粉絲會怕悶，

嚇走他們。

(GBG是亞洲區，除了日本外的花生漫畫代理。)

但是我在想，

中國國內都有像「花生村花生事」(https://www.weibo.com/peanutspost)的有質素的粉絲討論，

絕對不輸給美國的Derrick Bang and Scott McGuire。(http://fivecentsplease.org)

香港區也有陸離女士及小思老師做代表，

我們「舒爾茲香港粉絲會」間中都有非購物的認真討論啊。

這些都是可以慢慢培養的。

(當然，粉絲組織都可以幫一把的。)

我開始幻想，

何時香港才可以攪一個有Schulz Research Centre 加持的Peanuts exhibition, 

把花生漫畫的精神傳播開去，

而不是被外人誤認為我們只懂shopping (雖然這也是非常重要！)

我記得自己未成立香港區粉絲會前，

已經成曰寫信給香港區代理想他們舉行香港區Snoopy Run, 

現在終於有點眉目會舉行了(雖然未知日期！)

我當然不會說是自己「爭取成功」的功勞(又不是選議員！)

但是我希望有機會都可以向GBG反映這個訴求呢。
