To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Both brunch shows went very well. Mic/mixer/stand from T4 all put away. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: I kicked up the light power on the T2 projector, for both the flat and scope light files. Looks good and brighter to me. The lamp is almost ready to be changed, so it was probably starting to dip in brightness a bit. I’ll change the lamp and put the power back down for the new one. Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Marquee updated?: Posters updated?: Cleaning lights on for the night?: Projection cart by entrance?: Additional Notes:

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: I Love Boosters  intro was delayed by 15 minutes due to Boots Riley and his team running behind schedule. No sign of Keke Palmer either so only one mic was used. I brought the slide up and stalled with music on YouTube via the projection laptop since the rack PC in booth 2 would not connect to the internet or Spotify. Started the feature 7 minutes past its scheduled time and raised the volume slightly Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Leviticus posters were delivered and stored behind 3/7 Ordering/Receiving (content): Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Maintenance/cleaning: Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Double checked all cues and schedules for tomorrow and Sunday Marquee updated?: Posters updated?: Cleaning lights on for the night?: Projection cart by entrance?: Additional Notes: Ja...

To do this evening/ was completed: Tech'd Rugrats and Last Emperor. Updated both for volume. Good to go. Inspected all of Heroes for Sale. Good condition overall. Also tech'd Mission Impossible 2 and Master, volumes logged, both prints look great. Afterward I scraped a good amount of gaff tape detritus off the windows because you can see their faint shadows on screen so be aware. Updated Boosters playlist for tonight per Desmond's request, good to go. New Arrival disc was dropped off and put in original blu-ray case we received FYI. Started running it through MakeMKV, which can get converted tonight.

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Made a playlist for the I Love Boosters intro and scheduled it for tomorrow. Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Set up a mic in T3 for tonight's intro. It's on a stand. Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Coyote vs. Acme and Tony posters added to the caddy. Ordering/Receiving (content): Ingested Backrooms to the LMS. Also re-ingested Ferris Bueller since we're showing it for brunch later in June. Strangers on a Train and Heroes for Sale prints came in. Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Rugrats keys don't open until tomorrow, so I couldn't tech it today. I did add the lights up cue to the feature in both versions of the playlist. Looked at Communion and added the feature to the playlist. FYI--there's an AGFA snipe at the top of the DCP which is louder, so there are two volume cues attached to it in the playlist. Started inspecting Mission:...

To do this evening/ was completed: Maddie's Secret ingested to LMS. Communion DCP downloaded and ingested too. Inspected the rest of The Master, put it on house reels. Good condition. Spoons and Boosters both went smoothly. Mics back in booth, T1 equipment broken down. The shutdown playlist overrode the pause cue in T2 during the Q&A portion. I caught it immediately and brought lights back down and mics back on. This happened before the director took the stage so the Q&A itself went smoothly. Also small FYI, the mic stands needed for Spoons need to be the ones with the larger microphone holders to fit the wireless mics. Had to get one of those from T3.  **Mixer cabling in T1 might need slight tidying.** Can do Friday. Double-checked cue sheets at end of the night but would recommend one more once-over.
