Manager Communication: Lauren and I got everything situated for the Singani/Hank's Saloon doubleheader. Conrad came by and took photos of the new specials. -IP BAR Staff Observations:  Matthew Gab and Tevon handled a busy happy hour event with a moderately difficult cocktail with ease as the exceptional professionals they are. Jeshua is ready to rock for the theater portion of the event-LB Everyone up at Trees handled the Singani event without issue, and I was able to send Tevon downstairs to back up Jeshua as the guests moved to Th3.  I took over the pass for the second round Th1 load-in, while Gabrielle and Matthew wrapped up the Singani event and reset the floor and bar.  Once Jeshua had a chance to reset, Tevon got out of here.  Matthew stuck around until we got through the first round of the Hank's post-screening crowd, which was super helpful. JH FOH Staff Observations: If you are going to have Jeremy and only one runner, that runner being Erech is top notch. H...

Manager Communication: Sarene reps are dolls and came to replace our Sankey. I bought them some food to say thank you since it isn't even their line. I did learn how to replace the Sankey though.-LB The coffee machine at Trees has been reprogrammed and is working well now.-LB Very busy very smooth night. Trivia was slammed and Pulp Fiction kept the pass very busy. Becca was incredible assisting with Trivia, and Dion was everywhere tonight taking care of anything and everything the theaters needed.  I Emptied the bubbler in the lobby early and turned it off to give it a break before I open it up and see what I can tinker around with tomorrow to fix the screeching noise. - IP BAR Staff Observations: Trivia team amazing as always. Charlie is getting even better and more comfortable on the floor. I checked in with him, and he would be happy to continue as the floor server, but if there is a world where perhaps we could occasionally split the load he would be appreciative. I told him I...

Manager Communication: The coffee folks that repaired the LED are going to come by tomorrow and check out the settings on the machine at Trees Lounge.-LB Ryan from Sarene will come replace the sankey on the Evil Twin Line because he is just that awesome, tomorrow after we open. -LB Stock levels look good thanks to Ariel's batching and excellent unboxing and reorganizing of the liquor room. Looks great! Lauren has eyes on Trivia product and Pulp Fiction product for tomorrow. Lots of maintenance people coming to check on things - hopefully we're all ship shape by the time Trivia kicks off. - IP Customer Comments:  We've gotta get some more NO VAPING signage at Trees. People don't even realize they're doing it, so I don't know if it'll make a difference, but seatbelts did so... y'know. - IP BAR Staff Observations : Lydia hung in there for a long lobby shift was able to get her outta here right as I brought the gate down. I finished up any odds and ends fo...

Manager Communication: Wyatt and I got everything opened up while Nat and Greg set up the bars. Ticket sales aside from Pulp Fiction are medium, and we've got Tevon coming in at 11:30. This should give me ample opportunity to shore up the walk-in.  Coffee maker at Trees is still pouring diluted from both chambers. Lobby machine is working fine, so we were circulating through the lobby like old times. Will discuss with Lauren when she gets in. - IP I broke out the penultimate case of 16 oz plastic cups. Will keep an eye if we need to order more, but not quite yet. -LB Customer Comments: A woman with celiac informed Charlie about the Twizzlers being incorrectly listed on the GF menu, I know we recently talked about this. Dion was investigating to make sure we reprinted and distributed those menus. -LB BAR Staff Observations: Regardless of sales, events, or any other unforeseen circumstances - I would trust Nat, Greg and Tevon to handle anything this place can throw at them. - IP Snea...

Manager Communication:  Pulp Fiction was the hot ticket this morning, with most of the first round being pretty mellow, and the second round definitely picking up a bit more.  Definitely got a bit of a pop right after Pulp Fiction let out, but most of the crowd was eventually beckoned away by the warm temps and unstoppable sunshine. JH Snagged a mom trying to dump 7 minors in Scream 7 at 6:10pm, told her she had to stay, she left them there but apparently another mom came by. At the same time another 4 minors came to the theater unattended and I told them that as an R rated movie they had to have a guardian present.  I took them to lobby bar and gave them credits for their tickets, they are trying to get a mom to return for the later showing. I told them if they came back I would get them a popcorn for being great and following the rules. * They did come back just to use the bathrooms in the lobby, since they couldn't get a guardian, but they may try tomorrow. -LB I lea...

Manager Communication: Gil and I opened. Great day. -GS Customer Comments: This lady from the neighborhood who guessed I was from Wisconsin came back and was hanging at Trees. She guessed I was from Wisconsin again, but my take away was that she's coming back to hang out and that made me happy. -GS I was walkied to go to the Lobby from Dwight. Dwight, Erika, and a guest were standing there. Dwight handed me a flag from the seat in front of the guy who was standing next to me. The flag stated that this guy was being disruptive and calling things gay. I barely read to be honest. Homie said "fucking white people! I'll leave!" I said "Yeah today is not the day for the movie. You have a tab? I can close it out." He had no idea where he was sitting. Erika said "301" I opened up 301 and homie said "THATS NOT EVEN FUCKING ME! I WAS SITTING SOMEWHERE ELSE!!" After looking at where he stated he was sitting, he said that that was not him either and...
