To do this evening/ was completed: A few leaks in T2 booth along the brick wall, coming from cracks in the brick/sediment. Nothing too bad, I put a few towels down even though the water wasn't touching the ground mostly. Kept an eye on it throughout the night and both leaks have pretty much dried out. Projector equipment dry. Held off once again on scheduling outbound shipping for a print. Express Saver priced above $300 so waiting to hear back on what's preferred. It looks like the Edward Scissorhands DCP may have froze/glitched out in T1, because it says it's still going and will be done yesterday. Going to give it the night and restart it if it's indeed totally frozen.

To do this evening/ was completed: FYI I updated the vacant cue section for the print report of Little Shop of Horrors. Please add more info for the first reel if and when you can.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist:  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Little Shop of Horrors went well (and to a large, large crowd of mostly kiddos), but please be aware that this print has been run through several times and likely not properly taken care of. Make your loop sizes ever so slightly larger tomorrow (this is what I do for acetate prints that are pretty beat up, just so it can breathe more).  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Received the preshow (sent as holding slide, but it is, in fact, preshow slides) for Death Spin 2 private event on 10/31. DCP'd. Please ingest once it's done.  Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Forwarded volume info to Rachel/Galen for Mickey and I Am Going To Miss You. ...

Maintenance/cleaning: Started a new poster archive tube with the latest releases and added some posters to the trivia section. Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Yes, tomorrow is all set. Was able to get a head start on 10/16 cue sheets. You Can See Everything weekend shows are already on sale and with the feature in I made the formula and filled those out. Also filled in brunches and NewFest events during the week. Credit offset is missing for the NewFest features on this schedule without Q&As ( Tiger and I Am Going to Miss You ), and Addams Family is just preshow timing for now since we don't have the feature. ...

To do this evening/ was completed: Removed old forecasts and playlists, built all A1 10/16 playlists. Adjusted 2.20 Flat masking in T3, looks good, checked other presets to make sure all are correct. 35mm letters back up as are letters for Social Reckoning and Other Mommy. Posters updated as well. Looked at The Others, all good. Lights up added to playlist. Transferred Mickey and I Am Going To Miss You to T6 and put them on screen, they look and sound good. Inspected the rest of Vampire's Kiss, on house reels. Edward Scissorhands DCP won't be ready until tomorrow. In regard to La Bola Negra trailer, I did take it out of its container folder and still couldn't get it to populate. Who knows.
