Author Topic: Summer Film-Tech gathering - sign up! Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 03-23-2005 07:42 PM                     I'm there, might be the only chance I get to meet all of you...well most of you. Who knows when I will get the chance to go to Showest or Show East so count me in. Any time is good, just need a good warning on the date so I can request the time off I would also suggest we make the trek over to Normal if the opportunity arises and check out the Normal theater as well.

WTF wants to go to THAT Butthole place? Or, at least suggest some really cool classic theatre like the Fargo... JEEHUZE!  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-24-2005 04:04 AM                        I say we all meet in the capital of Antartica. They are opening a triplex down there and it even has a Jax-light!  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-24-2005 04:20 AM                     Ok Phil, where is the most centrally located XXX house running 35mm film? Surely you would know! (Even then, I'll bet it has a better presentation than the Princess II.)  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-24-2005 04:28 AM                  Well Brad, I really don't know... Maybe Nebraska? But perhaps something around Kansas City, MO? Maybe James Faber could suggest some place? Or maybe it's a Google thingie...  |  IP: Logged Chris Medley Expert Film Handler Posts: 180 From: McKinney, TX, USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 03-24-2005 07:47 AM                        What about carpooling??? Any Dallas people want to get togther and just take one or two cars??  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 03-24-2005 10:04 AM                    How bout lexington kentucky. We can all go to the Kentucky Theatre and take in a movie It's a very nice theatre in design Tim Reed knows all about it and he can probably give us a tour of the facility if he happens to come to town. They have two auditoriums The main large restored auditorium and one next door that used to be a X Rated 35MM operation.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 03-24-2005 12:07 PM                       Darryl, yes! Heh-heh, but I'm sure Raymond would be more than happy to keep everyone entertained for a few days. For those who don't know, I installed the equipment at the Kentucky Theatre and designed the booth for the new construction -- which used to be the old Downtown Cinema balcony. It's booth done right (although, the architect screwed me at the last minute and the screen ended up being a postage stamp). In the new booth, conduits are embedded in the floor, including the Dolby Digital cable; so there's just a projector sitting there in the middle of the floor, with nothing connected to it... which used to be common practice in booth design, but is rarely done today. I also spec'd. screening room-style double-paned optical glass portholes (with each pane at specific angles), just big enough for the image to pass through. quote: Phil Hill Why don't you suggest a location more physically central to all the USA members? Yes, like New Jersey. Aren't there more of us in the east?  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 03-24-2005 04:45 PM                     New Jersey sounds good. Although going to IL would give me a chance to go up to WI and visit people...  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 03-24-2005 06:02 PM                       Great! Two votes for Jersey! We can check out Mitchell's place in Jersey City. Although, Rach'... you, Scott Norwood, and I (and other FT-ers in MA) should have a get-together around Woburn sometime...  |  IP: Logged Bob Brown Expert Film Handler Posts: 146 From: Grand Rapids, MI Registered: Apr 2002 posted 03-24-2005 06:31 PM                        It would be neat if we did a "IN A FIX" Film-Tech style on the booth for them......  |  IP: Logged Greg Mueller Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1687 From: Port Gamble, WA Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-24-2005 07:42 PM                        I'll go if we can do it at Phil's house. There's more fun to be had in LA anyway  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-24-2005 07:47 PM                     Awwww Phil, They don't even have Airports in that place yet... how do you propose we all get there????? I agree that Chicago would be a hoot! There is also the Chicago Cinema Museum, Steve Krause's screneing room, countless theatres,ALOT of good food and bars , and Al Capones grave site..... Watseka is just a pleasant 3 hour drive from there and best of all Chicago has two actual operating Airports ! We could go around the time of Ebert Fest... when ever that is... Watseka is about half way to Champaign.

I drive a truck between Philly and Boston 4 times a week. C'mon, guys! You all can travel to wherever, I can't.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-24-2005 08:39 PM                  Hot tip, Tim: A while back there was this invention called an "airplane". It's a travel conveyance that could carry humans from one place to another. It is much faster than a motor vehicle and is something you should look into. Sincerely, >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged
