But anyhow our one repertory event across both locations this week went smoothly.  Presentation Issues: No issues Preshow Clips/Playlist:  One of the directors of Josie and the Pussycats couldn't make it because their flight was cancelled.

To do this evening/ was completed: Staff Screenings have been scheduled, blocked, playlists built and the info is out on 7shifts - L NOTE: I've told McKegg this, but we have two listening devices out in T1 right now, as well as a seat (near MOD office). Screws are on the table in 4/6. - L Had our cinema meeting and we're good on content (still up in the air as to whether or not we're getting a print of Camp Miasma, but it's looking like a 'no' at the moment.) - L Threaded up the platter for the Odyssey and started running the show. McKegg is in now and has been taken through the process for a proper shutdown. - L Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Added the last NoBudge short to the playlists, though it still needs to be teched.

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. The film continues to look and sound great. Cleaned and covered everything before heading out for the night Spoke with Kevin and Shay before trivia began. McKegg set everything up...
