CarolineUK Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Hi allI'm delighted to learn that Alex is planning another convention for 2014 in Paris - the 30th anniversary of Vice, I'm aware we'll never get a convention in Miami but are there any members who might be visiting the city next year so we could at least have a meeting of like-minded souls to visit Vice locations and celebrate the birth of our favourite programme? I will be going in May June or September if anyone is around (I'm not going three times, my dates are flexible!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it comes off and will keep everyone informed. It would not be anything like a convention, rather an informal get together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that anyone who has the time and money to travel to Paris should do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarolineUK Posted June 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 September 2014 is good for me so please keep me in the loop people :)I'd be renting a car while I'm in Miami Beach as I'd be driving to the Keys afterwards for a week, so if we wanted to do a drive around the Vice locations, I'm more than willing to be one of the chauffeurs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Ell.a Posted July 2, 2013 Administrators Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I'm definitely planning to go to Miami in September 2014, maybe only for a week or ten days (since I will spend some money in Paris already) - but it would be great to be in Miami to celebrate ... at the Ocean Drive. :fireworks:I think I will be able to confirm my journey in December or January at least. Anyone else from Germany? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D. Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 It's hard to believe no one from Universal Studios or the cast, DJ, PMT etc. would have a Gala 30th Anniversary Celebration for Miami Vice. It made many people famous and rich, and put Miami on the map for luxury Hotels and Condos. Why are they letting the years go by with no recognition of Miami Vice's greatness? Very sad! :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine evidence of positive revenue return or exposure would loosen them up and allow broader access to use of the name for promotional purposes by third parties. Maybe if such an event got a good viral response from the internet community, they would see the commercial viability of such an event. I think most of the cast could be enticed by a combination of appropriate appearance fees and matching amounts donated to some trustworthy charity.

Stinger390X Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I'm not exactly familiar with the history, but did Miami do anything for any other milestone anniversary such as the 10th, 25th etc?Maybe they should do this 30th then if they have ignored others.

M.A.Castillo Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 The 20th anniversary in 2004 had Jan Hammer signing copies of "The Best of Miami Vice" cd he had released that fall - in Miami. There's a video on YouTube about the event. I'm really hoping for something special for the 30th anniversary next year. Any new news or info?
