Looking for members or possable openings in kingston Ny?

although I really wouldnt call that upstate, per se`, the hudson valley area, correct? There are quite a few Hoyts (soon to be regal cinemas... in two days) in the area, and just about the same amt of independents. About two years ago I spent a little bit of time down there... are you thinking about relocating?

The place in Albany that I'm working at is full at the moment, but we're going through a lot of transitions with a lot of different places now, so there may be work opening up in the future. I'll keep you posted if anything opens up.

As far as Kingston goes, there is definitely a Hoyts/Soon to be Regal down there. Neil Fish, who used to tech my old Hoyts booth and who I know posted here in the past but dosen't seem to be around anymore, keeps an office there. Perhaps if he sees this he might be able to shed more light on the situation there. (hint, hint, nudge, nudge)

Patrick, if you are toying with relocating and you end up in my neck of the woods, feel free to drop a line to me and I can bring you around to a few places.

I had a great time in NY, I went to the Kingston Cinema at the mall, I like the set up, I got some wierd looks asking to look around but, does anyone know the starting rate for an expeirenced projectonist, the superviser told me 6.50 maybe 7 dollars an hour, is this true [Eek!]
