Author Topic: Summer Film-Tech gathering - sign up! Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 04-04-2005 10:25 PM                     Well, I'm out if you're at Cinema West. Everytime a FT group gets together it seems to be on the West Coast. I really can't go anywhere that I can't drive. Take in mind I'm willing to drive up unti but no more then 24 hours! Midwest - Eastcoast is really all I can do.  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 04-04-2005 10:45 PM                     I along with Rachel can not travel to the west coast...Just can't get the time off to do it...already making a trip to Arizona in the comming month to visit my mom and my new niece, had to pull teeth just to get 5 days off. If nothing else all of us East coasters can get together.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 04-04-2005 10:45 PM                     I still cast my vote for Lexington, South Bend, or somewhere in Illinois!

Scott has one of those stretch-stationwagons, so he could put a mattress back there and they could alternate sleeping while the other drives.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

After that I am deep into work after that.  |  IP: Logged Gracia L. Babbidge Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 709 From: Bowdoin, Maine Registered: Aug 2000 posted 04-08-2005 09:37 AM                        I'm another one that likes the idea of an East Coast gathering! I too am limited to places I can get to by driving. Apparently, I'm not quite as hard-core about driving as Rachel is. Then there's the whole matter of needing to make my request a good amount of time in advance - and not too many days in the request.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-09-2005 09:50 AM                     quote: Mike Blakesley In Montana, the best theatre is probably the Wilma in Missoula. I haven't been to a movie there in years, but the place is dripping with history and is truly elegant. I disagree Mike... The Washoe in Anaconda is by far the best in Montana, and by far the best Art Deco in the counrty and ranked 5th in the nation for its architecture!! Its ALL original right down to the immaculate triple pair of Supers in the booth..... Very fortunately we get to do the service work there Really now, The Wilma looks like anyones neighboorhood theatre by comparison! Here is a review I found of it on a Google.... "The Washoe shares the distinction with New York City's Radio City Music Hall of being the last two theaters done in the Art Deco style, and the Washoe is actually the more impressive. The brick exterior is unremarkable, and when you see it you'll wonder what all the fuss is about. But inside, this is a true movie palace. Considered one of the most architecturally significant theaters in the country, it's a work of art in cerulean, salmon, beige, and yellow, with a fabulous curtain. If you arrive at midday, the theater is usually closed -- it's still a working movie theater and doesn't open until evening. But if owner Jerry Lussy is there, he'll turn on the lights and let you look around. Or you can take a trolley tour through the Anaconda Chamber to get a guaranteed peek." Adam, How come you've missed this gem? I think you're too wrappred up in visiting every plex! Get drivin dude, its probably just a short 4 day trip each way for ya to Montana and back......

I should have said, the Wilma is the best theatre I've seen in Montana, as far as classic old-timers go. I've never been in the Washoe, would love to some time, but have never been able to time it right. (I've seen the outside during the day, is all!) I am amazed there's not more about it on the web.  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-11-2005 06:28 AM                        Here, let the ladies at the Mobile Saenger redecorate that theatre for you: There!

Shouldn't the wall stencilingss also be re-done in off-white.....
