To do this evening/ was completed: What I thought was going to be an already busy day got even busier with the little wrench of the Zoom Q+A setup, which I blessedly sorted out so we should be set.  Presentation Issues: When I was starting to schedule automation, I noticed that Theater 3 wasn't accepting anything. I rebooted the server and it was back to normal.  Preshow Clips/Playlist: Made some new slides for the LWAM event at NWB tonight.  Built the start of the Maddie's Secret playlist. Volume and credit cues still needed.  Trailer Updates: No issues Special Events/ AV set up: Tried setting up the Zoom setup for the Q+A for tonight. It took John and I a little bit of finagling, but we did manage to get it working through the Mac Mini in 1. We tested it with the director in between rounds and we should be set.

Afterward, I was able to unlock the door and I nudged the cable, which seemed to do the trick once I turned the breaker back on: I was able to strike the lamp successfully. Apparently someone sprinted out of the theater when the lamp went out an...

To do this evening/ was completed: John will be snagging the drive with the prores of State Your Name from the filmmaker tomorrow, so we can start DCPing it in the afternoon. This will be the last playlist we need to make for 7/10. Put the World Cup on in trees.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: The playlist for All the President's Men has been checked, so has Rozz Williams for tomorrow.  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: We have a marquee rental for tomorrow, starting noon until late. This is for a friend of Matthew's. Projection has been cc'd in the email. Everything was pretty soaked today, but the weather is looking a lot better tomorrow, so it should be easier to put up in the morning.  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Sent us the keys again for Booster and ingested them to the LMS, so we're all updated for tomorrow. We received a screener for The Wrong Girls, which I ingested to the LMS.  Outgoing...
