Author Topic: New Rialto Sign Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-08-2003 05:56 PM                     We are tearing off our old awning and putting up a new sign. I will post photos of the progress here as there will not be too many of them. Here is a photo of the tear off. This is not the new sign. This is just a temperary sign and a size study. I think you will like the final sign. And here is a photo of Ky and Michael watching the tear off.  |  IP: Logged Dan Lyons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 698 From: Seal Beach, CA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 10-09-2003 01:19 AM                     I hope the new one will have enough neon on it to blackout the entire neighborhood!! I wish the neon on my sign still worked, half of it isn't even there anymore.

If the new sign says "Movies with Nekkid People in Them" your business will quintuple. Of course since seniors are a large portion of your clientele, perhaps not.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-15-2003 11:41 AM                     Here is a picture now that the new composite roofing has been installed. Yes, a raised metal seam roof would have looked better. But the landlord agreed to pay for the roofing job and refused the added expense of metal, which is twice as expensive as composition. But the new sign will shine against this roof, so it will recede in to the background and everybody will think it's great.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 10-15-2003 01:58 PM                        Hey Ian where did you get that picture of the common criminal that you are posting? I notice this same illegal picture has appeared in other posts. How much would you charge for a baker's dozen?  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-12-2003 06:07 PM                     I haven't forgotten about this post, it's just that it's taking too damn long. The roofing is done and we were supposed to get the new sign November 17th. But the sign shop is delayed and we won't get it till after Thanksgiving.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 11-12-2003 07:10 PM                        Ian, These guy's are taking you and your partner for a ride. I don't think they have even started your sign. They will demand another payment up front before they will split for greener pastures. They are maost likely setting up Joe Redifer as their next victim. Ian beat them to the punch and have them arrested....call the cops now. Joe will thank you later.

Their stuff looks like and if you got close enough to it their displays would probably smell like too!  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-13-2003 01:04 PM                     It's a top sign shop in the bay area. The guy loves our theatre and comes by often. We are a small fish and their shop is backed up. I'm not worried.  |  IP: Logged Barry Floyd Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1079 From: Lebanon, Tennessee, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-13-2003 04:57 PM                        I've got an "off-site" marquee for our theatre, and I can't even get an electrician to go down and hook the dam thing up. My sign is 10 feet wide X 5'-6" tall, bottom of sign is 8' off the ground. The trench is dug, the meter deposit is paid, the commercial electric timer is sitting on my desk, and the 175 feet of conduit is lying in a pile in the weeds behind the sign. I can't find an electrician who want to do such a small job.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 11-14-2003 02:28 AM                        Barry call Ian's sign shop in San Francisco they will come and hook it up for you.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-10-2003 02:05 PM                     It's almost done. They got most of it up yesterday before the horrendous rains started. We had 7" of rain last night. I'll post a finished photo and an old photo when they get the job done.  |  IP: Logged John Scott Master Film Handler Posts: 252 From: Oakdale, MN, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 12-10-2003 02:39 PM                     That looks absolutely gorgeous.

That rain came in fast --- not a cloud in the sky in your photo.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.
