Mark- Kinda think the DTS unit is probably the same one that you installed. I've replaced the drives and a board, but it still keeps a workin'! Oh my gosh....the guys down the street! You should see and hear their theatre. Almost every print is scratched (thanks to the teens who run the projectors) and the audio is bad in a few auditoriums, mainly 1 and 3 (I think). DTS probs galore in #1, usually audio from the surrounds with no screen speakers, or sound cuts out on the right or left fronts ,gotta love those JBLs, #3 has probs with the screen speakers. I'm sure that you and Steve did a great job installing the stuff, but they don't know how to up keep it. I do like their 4 new auditoriums, other than they are small and lack a center aisle.The color scheme sucks!
I was offered a job there about 3-4 years ago.I have could named my hours. But, I passed on the offer, my love of the greek boys...the Johnsons??? I don't think so..I just like movie palaces...not multiplexes.Don't get me wrong, the Johnson's and I got along great. Otherwise, I would not have stuck around for 6.5 years.They taught me a lot. I hope to have the same luck with the Bauknecht's, they seem very nice. I like family run businesses. I really enjoy the 1929 WB Theatre. Finding a blown fuse is always a challenge, thanks to the many re-wiring jobs that place has had.I'd really rather get into tech work than manage. 50 hours managing a theatre and 20 hours working for a lab is beginning to get old. Or is it that I am getting old???
Rachel- If you can't get in touch with Joe, call Gretchen at Family Cinema after 3:30pm. I know that they had to hire a bunch of new employees, I told her that you and Don were good employees. Most of their vendors walked. Kinda think your old pal...the coffee shopper aka mom...had alot to do with it. But, I could be wrong.
Charles- Northtown was my old stoppin' grounds! I worked at Northridge Mall for over 13 years (not at the theatre). I bet that every weekend I caught a movie there, or at the Millroad. Well, the Mall is gone, and the only time I visit the neighborhood is to hit Best Buy.
