You will enjoy his work.Wish i had the equipment to do something like that,cause I have the Theatre stuff.What Robin and Nick put on is a very small selection.I wrote Nick Twice and haven’t heard a word.

Great stories. Had someone been locked in at any of our theatres all they had to do was simply walk out.You guys must put chains on the exit doors.I did leave someone in Columbia 1 it is probably mentioned on COLUMBIA SQ.CINEMAS.Tommy and me were standing by the concession stand about midnight or so sipping a Bud when a man walks out of the theatre into the lobby and said"MUST HAVE FELL ASLEEP.“ and walked out.Strange.I was always blessed with good box office girls,much faster than I.You outta try and find some of those guys if you already haven’t.
