To expand on my previous post: I do film work as a hobby, so I can be somewhat picky about what types of theatres I work in. Essentially, I only want to work in theatres that have one or more of the following characteristics: interesting booth, interesting programming, really good management, great equipment, or (if a multiplex) at least one really good house with top-notch picture and sound quality. Art houses with older well-maintained equipment are my preferred venues, but I like some multiplexes, too (for different reasons). I've never run a drive-in booth, but would like to someday.
I just drove 100 miiles round-trip to run the afternoon shows in a carbon house today; I probably lost money on it due to the travel time, but it was fun.

Yes Steve, we went with the mutt because of a very tiny booth, right now only one person can fit in there comfortably to run the changeovers, plus the problem of bringing a platter in the booth door, we would need to take out the entire wall to make it up the steps and inside! Tim, I keep forgetting how close to Allentown you are, with the way our weather has been lately I don't think it would be a fun trip, the turnpike can get downright ugly! But you are always welcome to stop by Just be prepared to dodge the rolls of fabric, I have started recovering the seats. I hope I get the hang of this quick, 140 seats to cover, if I don't pick up some speed it will take me to mid summer to get them all finished
