To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Heard a strange, high pitched noise, like a dog whistle, in theater 2 during the final round of the digital The Odyssey . I'm not sure if this is coming from one of the speakers or it was just my ears ringing from being in booth 1 all night but it might be worth running a house/content check tomorrow morning to see if it was anything Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built and scheduled a show playlist for  Josie and the Pussycats but this will need a lights up cue added for credits/tech'd for volume. I added a placeholder slide for the pre-film Q&A with all the necessary cues but this can be changed if and when the custom slide is sent by the host Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Kept busy this evening with The Odyssey  print in theater 1.
