Yes, keep those dousers open! Don't close them for any reason! Even if the film is tailing out, keep 'em open!

Actually, my projectors have a disease. The disease does not allow them to function late on Christmas eve or especially New Years eve.

For 12 years I worked on Christmass. We all know the pain of working on Christmass but I thought I would remind you of one of the pleasures.

I love driving to work on the holidays. The city is deserted and there is no traffic. I used to get to work in half the time.

These past two years I have not had to work on a holiday. It has been fun but seeing as I have no wife or children, it doesn't matter much. I am getting back into the film exhibition industry so I will be in a theatre for the next 10 years over Christmass. Even if we become very successful and have loads of managers, I think I will always go to the theatre over Christmas. It is not a bad place to be.

MERRY CHRISTMASS AND A HAPPY NEW MILLENIUM!

I can only echo everything said here.

I dont think I could have come as far in the last 11 months in 35mm as I have without you people and your brilliance.

I am going to Atlanta for the holiday. I'll see old 35's on a pair of Supers for hours this weekend.

Everyone have a blast. We'll talk again before the Millenium!!
