Author Topic: Up and Coming Trip to Texas Darren Crimmins Expert Film Handler Posts: 130 From: Dallas, TX, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 06-26-2002 07:21 PM                     The gathering in Dallas sounds like a good plan. Brad, maybe the theater trip might include a specific theater in say, the Irving area?  |  IP: Logged Gracia L. Babbidge Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 709 From: Bowdoin, Maine Registered: Aug 2000 posted 06-26-2002 07:22 PM                        That does sound like fun! ...but since that's further away from here than I could drive in a day - don't count on me showing up for it!  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???" Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 06-26-2002 09:23 PM                     I've submitted a travel request to attend "The Tenth Annual Film-Tech Texas Confab" so, Brad, if you get a phone call or an email or anything from my boss, just go along with it.... [Edited: I'm just kidding about my boss calling, but I certainly am considering flying in for what promises to be a happening time. I'll bring my roller skates.]  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 06-26-2002 10:21 PM                        I'll bring my running shoes and the popcorn Josh  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-26-2002 11:02 PM                     You may need those running shoes if we have a weenie roast and want to eat! I hear Paul's pretty fast when the smell of weenie is in the air.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-11-2003 01:04 PM                     Now it's my turn! I'll be in Dallas in mid- to late-February for research and photograph purposes. Definite travel dates to be confirmed soon. Current plans call for a Saturday/Sunday in Dallas with Friday and Monday dedicated to the I-20 corridor to the west, maybe as far as Monahans. Anyone want to offer a tour or recommend a theater that absolutely cannot be missed?  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-11-2003 01:17 PM                        Adam, Please be sure to contact Cordell Walker and have him escort you on your tour. He will be delighted to see you and will protect you in your travels. Please give him my best and invite him to join you on your New England tour this summer.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

I'm so important"? Hey, wait ... he could be my distraction!  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

Would be nice if you could drop by Lost Wages, NV for a gathering with the film-techers! Hey Brad...Cow Hum the rotating Graemlin isn't on your list yet?  |  IP: Logged William T. Parr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 823 From: Cedar Park, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-13-2003 12:37 PM                     Hey Adam, If you make it down the I 35 corridor I can give you the tour of the Highland 10 as I was talked into staying there by the owner who wants my consulting when he gets around to renovating the booth. I can also get you into a couple of the Regal theatres for a look around. I can also navigate you around San Antonio to all current theatres and most of the old one. Let me know if you plan on making it down the Southern way while here.  |  IP: Logged Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-13-2003 01:23 PM                     Adam, I can say that if you get in that area and meet fellow film-techer's, you will discover that you are in the company of some of the finest people you will ever meet. When Josh and I were down there, we discovered that to be true. Even though our trip was short, it was worth every bit of the effort to get there.

If I ever get back to (Texas), I'm going to nail my feet to the ground!  |  IP: Logged Jason Burroughs Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 654 From: Allen, TX Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-14-2003 10:45 AM                     I can certinaly name a few in the Dallas area that are on the "should be missed" list.  |  IP: Logged Scott D. Neff Theatre Dork Posts: 919 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Oct 1999 posted 01-14-2003 04:14 PM                        The best theatres are the ones that SHOULD be missed. Whenever I travel I always ask people what the worst theatre in town is... just because I wanna go have a good laugh. So please -- give Adam all the side-splitting hilarious theatres that'll make for a fun adventure into sticky floors and crazy sightlines etc. etc.  |  IP: Logged
