(Any single women in the area are more than welcome to find us and join in! ) I don't work after that until the 3rd!  |  IP: Logged Claude S. Ayakawa Film God Posts: 2738 From: Waipahu, Hawaii, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 12-30-2006 04:04 AM                        I am planning a quiet evening at home listening to some new classical CDs I had received from my BMG Music Service membership. One of them is a an album featuring music by Joaquin Rodrigo including CONCERTO MADRIGAL, FANTASIA ANDALUZ, FANTASIA PARA UN GENTILHOMBRE and a DVD of a concert featuring CONCERTO DE ARANJUEZ with Pepe& Angel Romero on guitars. New Years day will be spent at my brother's home with the entire family including my mother who will be allowed to leave her nursing home for a few hours to enjoy the day with her loved ones. -Claude  |  IP: Logged Kenneth Wuepper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1026 From: Saginaw, MI, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 12-30-2006 11:08 AM                     Here at the Temple Theatre the doors open at 6:30 the organ plays at 7:00 then we show the new "King Kong" in DTS at 7:30. Following the film the audience adjourns to the adjacent ballroom for horsd'oueuvres and live entertainment. At Midnight all will toast the New Year with Champagne. There will be dancing until 1:00 when the party ends. We did this party last year and the movie was "Phantom of the Opera" in DTS. The movie makes the party much less alcohol based as there is someting to do from dinner to 11:30 or so.

The "play party" was cancelled due to lack of response. And I was hoping to ring in the new year with a bit of excitement. Maybe I'll have fun messing with the drunks at my local hang out.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 12-31-2006 07:29 AM                        Happy New Year There are good ships, and there are wood ships, The ships that sail the sea. But the best ships, are friendships, and may they always be. In the new year may your right hand always be stretched out in friendship, but never in want. Happy New Year!  |  IP: Logged Christian Appelt Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 505 From: Frankfurt, Germany Registered: Dec 2001 posted 12-31-2006 10:45 AM                     I'm running a movie show - two cartoons and a nice comedy, VICTOR/VICTORIA (1982, dir. Blake Edwards). The show has been sold out days ago, it ends before midnight so people can get out in time to watch the fireworks. Best wishes and a happy new year to all of you!  |  IP: Logged John Alan Petrey Film Handler Posts: 15 From: tampa, fl / United States Registered: Jul 2006 posted 12-31-2006 11:04 AM                      |  IP: Logged Kenneth Wuepper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1026 From: Saginaw, MI, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 12-31-2006 11:11 AM                     When the Temple was a Butterfield house, we had a short reel. It was like the drive in intermission clock but it was a countdown to the New Year. It was necessary to back time the presentation so you could have the "Happy New Year!" on the screen as the big blue clock up front said 12:00. I remember one year when another operator let the feature end and then started the clock but did not do the backtime trick, had a near riot as people were upset that there was a 15 minute difference from the clock. "The Moral Is!" If you are doing a time critical event, be certain that it is accurate.

I hung out with my buddies, and we all got drunk. Two of my buddies actually threw up from drinking so much. Not me though, I can handle my liquor. One of my friends took a pain killer designed for cancer patients, and he couldn't feel anything. We were all taking turns hitting him, and he couldn't feel a thing. We ended up trashing the whole house, because we were so wasted. I ended up passing out on the couch sometime after 4 AM. I just woke up like 2 hours ago. Man, my head fuckin' hurts! I got a fuckin' hangover. Damn, I have to go to work today. FUCK! Yeah, good times!  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 01-01-2007 12:18 PM                     quote: I had a fun New Year's Eve.

We had a couple friends over, that turned into a couple more... then a couple more... eh, you get the point. We had people thru-out the night just popping in to say hi and then going off to someone elses house. Well, we ended the night with 5 of us. There were 2 women and 3 men and the woman (me included) were smashed off our butts while the men sat there sober... haha good times. Luckily I've still never had a hangover.  |  IP: Logged Allison Parsons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 630 From: East Peoria, IL Registered: Oct 2004 posted 01-01-2007 12:42 PM                        I went over to a friends house for an two hours and had a rootbeer.

They left around 12:30. Wife and kids went to bed. I stayed up and watched some of President Ford's old speeches on C-SPAN.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 01-01-2007 02:59 PM                        Clocked out 15 minutes early and went up to the sixth floor of the airport employee parking structure to watch the fireworks on the Strip. Got out of there around 12:20 and drove home prepared to run a gauntlet. Turned out to be slightly better than my normal drive. I guess it was too early for most of the drunks to be on the road. Was home by 1:00 and down for the count by 1:15. No booze for me - I'm not that great a scooter rider as it is. Off today, then back in for a slow Tuesday. Wednesday will be hell. Due to my class being on Mondays this semester (AV220 9:00-11:50, in Henderson of course), school doesn't start back up until the 22nd. Happy New Year everyone!  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-01-2007 03:59 PM                     Spent the day at Gold Hill and had good luck finding gold, there is always at least some gold brought home from this place on each trip!! Stayed there till the coyotes were a howlin away and drove back via the Pony Express Trail.... all 130 miles in the dark. Had some interesting animals run out in front of the SUV.... including a Badger. We were the only ones on the trail the whole way back.... Arrived home in time to watch the ball drop in New York City. [ 01-01-2007, 06:49 PM: Message edited by: Mark Gulbrandsen ]  |  IP: Logged
