Let's see how many members of the forums can get together this summer for a gathering. I am proposing we meet in Watseka, Illinois to take in a movie "film done right" at the Princess II theater and then whatever else this fabulous town has to offer.

Who's in?

What month is good for you?

I'm free any time but July 4 weekend (Family Reunion in DC). Other than that, I'll take the time off and be there!

I'm so there! [thumbsup] Watseka is about a 2 hour drive from where I live. Lets only hope that that high-tech theatre is playing the new Star Wars if we go!

And I thought I was the only one to work at a theater that still had mono sound!

Or "off-mono" sound judging by the picture.

If we go, can we trash the place and dunk the owner's head in a toilet Phil used and forgot to flush?

Let's see
May and June doing vacation relief and the Seattle International Film Festival. Mid-July going to the IATSE confab in Hawaii.
Illinois this summer, don't think so.
But it does sound like fun.
PS.....
How did the drink-fest go at ShoWest. Any pics?

At this point, the only weeks over the summer I wouldn't be able to go would be the last week of May and first week of June.

Anybody who wants to run to Hoopeston afterward and see something at Greg Boardman's Lorraine Theatre is welcome.

This is an awesome opprotunity, and I would love to. Just need to save up the money if I can.

I say instead of IL, I say FL. Not cause I'm already here, but because ShowEast 2005 Is taking place there in October. But hey, it was just another idea. I was thinking about the time we could have to plan for this. September would be best for me.

Right now, July looks good for me (except the last week of it). I may be game for a nice summer road trip. All I need now is a convertible...

Pick a weekend sometime this summer or fall, not during August, and I'll be there.

I hope that they don't sell out for the appointed showtime. Do they sell tickets in advance? Also, will we all walk out and demand refunds soon after the show starts, or will we stay and mock the presentation throughout?

Wouldn't it be a riot if we all showed up and the place was boarded up? [Razz]

Or a smoking hole. I'm considering calling in an air strike just on general principles. [evil]

They're still open. I just called them. "Guess Who" opens on Friday.

Their phone number is (815)-432-4461 and I have never heard worse sound quality on any answering machine, ever. It's appropriate for that place, I suppose....

Well at least they're still open...that's more than you can say for a lot of "big" theatres these days.

(For another interesting answering machine, call the Rose Theatre in Glendive, Montana. 406-377-2828 but call before 7:00 mountain time or you'll get a live person.)
