Author Topic: Summer Film-Tech gathering - sign up! Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-22-2005 08:35 PM                     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?  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 03-22-2005 08:45 PM                     Hmmm, that would mean I'd have to save $$$.  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 03-22-2005 08:49 PM                        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!  |  IP: Logged Allison Parsons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 630 From: East Peoria, IL Registered: Oct 2004 posted 03-23-2005 12:06 AM                        I'm so there! 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!  |  IP: Logged Wolff King Morrow Master Film Handler Posts: 490 From: Denton, TX, USA Registered: Feb 2004 posted 03-23-2005 02:15 AM                        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?  |  IP: Logged Peter Kerchinsky Master Film Handler Posts: 326 From: Seattle, WA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-23-2005 04:09 AM                     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?  |  IP: Logged Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues. Posts: 1431 From: Waukee, IA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 03-23-2005 07:04 AM                        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.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Dieter Expert Film Handler Posts: 234 From: Yakima, WA Registered: Jun 2004 posted 03-23-2005 09:53 AM                     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.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 03-23-2005 12:24 PM                     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... AJG  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-23-2005 01:07 PM                        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?  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 03-23-2005 02:00 PM                     Wouldn't it be a riot if we all showed up and the place was boarded up?  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 03-23-2005 02:09 PM                        Or a smoking hole. I'm considering calling in an air strike just on general principles.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-23-2005 02:49 PM                        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....  |  IP: Logged Bob Brown Expert Film Handler Posts: 146 From: Grand Rapids, MI Registered: Apr 2002 posted 03-23-2005 07:00 PM                        Yea, I'll be there, might be fun....Any month is OK  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-23-2005 07:19 PM                        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.)  |  IP: Logged
