We are fine until Monday 2/9 when something will have to be removed to make room for Sinners. Attempted to download the Dead Lover DCP but the Aspera link was prompting me to commit to some new transfer client download so I held off for the moment.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ordering/Receiving (posters...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: The Incredible Shrinking Man screening went smoothly. The hosts used a laptop for the pre-show and held a raffle inside the auditorium after the film. I set up for the Trees Lounge post-screening festivities in advance and got both hosts situated as the crowd exited the theater.  All gear used was placed back in its proper storage and the projectors were cleaned/exhausts closed. Flat lenses have been swapped for scope for tomorrow's double feature so these will need to be refocused.
