Author Topic: What does your party room look like? Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 12-02-2003 07:39 PM                     For those theaters that have rooms set aside for birthday parties, what do they look like? What's the decor? Here's a few to get us started: Galaxy 16, Waco, Texas Celebration Cinema, Grand Rapids, Michican Yorktown 18, Lombard, Illinois  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

They look more appropriate for FBI prisoner interrogations. Darken the lighting, add some color, some neon, some noise (and maybe a few strippers) and then you'll have some ingredients for a party!  |  IP: Logged Kristin Wahlund Film Handler Posts: 92 From: Eagan, MN Registered: Jul 2001 posted 12-02-2003 08:02 PM                     let me describe out party room to you... it is a medium sized room, gey floor, white cement walls, 3 tables, and a stack of old registers we arent allowed to get rid of. At one point i covered an entire wall in rugrats posters, put up a couple streamers and large "happy birthday" signs. surprisingly people don't complain about it.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 12-02-2003 09:56 PM                    Yeah...either strippers or maybe an old Super Simplex the kids could admire.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-02-2003 10:14 PM                        quote: Yeah...either strippers or maybe an old Super Simplex the kids could admire. I always found (film) strippers to be one of the least interesting parts of a projector. They just sit there until you have a sprocket-wrap.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

Is that where the strippers dance (or where the film strippers operate)?  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 12-03-2003 12:10 AM                     We have a section of the office 'cubicled' off...we use that for parties.  |  IP: Logged John Scott Master Film Handler Posts: 252 From: Oakdale, MN, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 12-03-2003 12:25 AM                     There is room at the Strand to host a party? For what? 3 people?  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-03-2003 12:28 AM                        Party Room at the State Palace Theatre, New Orleans  |  IP: Logged Steve Scott Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1300 From: Minneapolis, MN Registered: Sep 2000 posted 12-03-2003 10:30 AM                     At the Lakeville, we had a "party room manager" who, for a whole month decorated the party room with odd shaped balloons. No pics, cause the management was so upset about it, but it was like this woman could only make dirty looking balloons. The floor staff thought it was hilarious, the parents were slightly amused  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 12-03-2003 10:57 AM                     quote: There is room at the Strand to host a party?

It holds about 12, and its not a room - only part of a room!  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 12-03-2003 04:09 PM                        Who wants to have a party at a freakin' movie theater? Apparently a lot of people do. If my parents had ever held my birthday party in a movie theater, I'd ask them why they hated me. I would have run away and lived in a trash can. It would be better than living with tacky parents. I mean they could have at least taken you to Chuck E. Cheese or something.  |  IP: Logged Ron Lacheur Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 650 From: British Columbia, Canada Registered: Feb 2002 posted 12-03-2003 04:41 PM                     There was one saturday afternoon where i worked that they had 5 birthday parties booked.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."
