I worked at the Mode during high school. When it became the Festival, I was the manager. For a fictional look at both the operation of the theater and the neighborhood, see the two books written by author Steve Shadow. “Sin-Ema Festival” is an x-rated parody of the theaters porn days. “The Savage Little Flea” is about the management and crew that ran the theater and how they became involved in Mexican lucha-libre wrestling.Both books are available from Amazon as paper backs or e-books. Those were exciting days for a plethora of reasons. Will try and find old pictures to post.
