Love Liz and Sal, two of my favorite peoples.
Laura, not sure of the date, but most likely sometime in May.
Despite my occasional uneasy relationship with the Internet, here is one reason I love it: As you know, I spent many hours on that Cinema Treasures site, looking at all my childhood movie theaters. I made posts in the comment section of each and every one of them.
One theater, called the Del Mar, I posted that I worked there (my first job) as an usher in, I believe, 1964 (whatever year Viva Las Vegas and From Russia With Love came out). I shared some memories. Anyway, in my profile on the site I left an IM name and my e-mail address.
So, I just get an IM - from the man who currently owns the Del Mar! How funny is that? We just had a nice chat on the phone and I'll be having lunch with him next week and he's going to show me the theater, which has sadly been completely gutted. He runs a post-production sound house there.
