Mikey… What a blast from the past that youtube.com clip was! To see the lobby – and the candy counter! What memories! Please let us know when you post more! Thanks again. Best – Michael Kriegsman
I actually worked at the Salisbury Theater in the mid-70s when I was 17. I looked older than my years so I guess the owner (a cold-blooded blonde woman who dressed like a porn star) thought I’d pass for 18 if asked. She relegated me to ripping tickets at the front door – – and I can’t tell you how many of my teachers – and even my girlfriend’s uncle – would skulk into the joint! How weird that was! One day, the cleaning crew quit and the manager asked if I’d do the job until they could find a replacement. Biggest regret of my life. The things I found cleaning that dump would make Larry Flynt blush! Oh, the good ol' days. ;)
Keli… I remember meeting you at The Mini and at your dad’s nostalia/movie poster shop in East Meadow (you had these great eyes and beautiful blond hair! And I assume you still have both!). Your dad allowed me to exhibit my own short film at The Mini Cinema – for a whole week! – and he inspired me to get into “the business” as a writer. Please tell him that I sent my love and that I wish him all the best. What a great, great man. – Michael Kriegsman, Los Angeles
