Is your theatre somewhere near I-90 between Buffalo and Detroit? Brad Miller - yes THE Brad Miller - is taking that route. Would you like to meet the man behind the legend? Maybe even get some pictures of your place on this site? Well it can happen. It's simple. Just e-mail me and include your phone number, approximate location, and I'll give him a call on his cell phone so we can set something up. Thanks.

Brad called my cell phone Sunday afternoon, but I was just on my way to our neighborhood Super Bowl party. Rochester is about 60 miles east of Buffalo anyway, so it's unlikely we could have linked up. I have a 6:05am flight to NYC Monday morning.

I would be interested in meeting Brad. However I live south of I-90 about 40 minutes. But around here it takes 40 minutes to get anywhere. Let me know when he will be in the Cleveland area.

My workplace is only about 3 miles off I-90.
Pennsylvania Exit #27. (Erie) PA Rt. 97 North.

If you can find the Erie International Airport (ERI) (AKA: "Tom Ridge Field") you'll be within hollering distance of my house. I live just yards from the end of runway 24.

Ring the cellular or e-mail any time! [Smile]

Randy,

Now tell the truth, you like to get liquored up [beer]

and stand on the runway like in "Pushing Tin" don't you?

Randy, I stopped in your town! Ate at the Quaker Steak and Lube. Good stuff. Where were you?

Posted by Randy Stankey (Member # 64) on 02-07-2005, 11:16 AM:

Shit! You were spittin' distance from TT-17 where I used to work. Just a few blocks down the street!

Just a couple exits past there is where you get off to go to Mercyhurst.

I was at home watching the Superbowl.

Did you eat the Atomic wings at Quaker Steak?
Notice the sign in the men's room that says to wash your hands BEFORE using the toilet? That's there because of my suggestion.
After you've had a couple-three beers, it's very easy to eat Atomic wings and forget to wash. Then, when you go to take a leak... YE-EE-OUCH!!! [Eek!]

I can pretty much sit right in my front yard and get liquored up to watch planes take off. However, I prefer to park the car at the threshold end of RW-24, just outside the fence then lay on the hood... Ala "Wayne's World".

The most fun are the C-130's when they make training flights in the summer. The RW-24 is only 6,500 ft long. The other end dumps off into a ravine. In order to take off with a full load they have to stand on the breaks and run the engines up to full power. It's even more fun when they're doing it with a green pilot who doesn't keep his engines in time and "beats" his props!

Brad,

We got a Quaker Steak and Lube here too. They have big biker nights in the summer. Hundreds of Harleys pull in the parking lot. Quaker's parking lot adjoins the Cinemark Valley View 24 screen. That is where the TI d-cinema projector is.

In the Cinemark Valley View 24 area I prefer Hoggies.

I work at the Great Lakes Science Center OMNIMAX Theater. It's between the Cleveland Browns Stadium and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
