Well, after the 24+ hours of torrential rain we have had, the leaking roof on one of the theaters decided it had had enough, and began to shed ceiling tiles in protest. Most of the worst of it was over the aisles, but there is one bad spot near the front center of the theater where you can see that the area of fallout is spreading, and more could come down at any time...
So, before every showing in that theater, I had to shoo patrons out of the danger zone. (Surprisingly, many of them did not even notice that the seats they were sitting in were a little... damp). So upstairs I go to start the movie; I look out the window and lo! more people have come in and seated themselves in the avalanche area. Down the stairs...please move...up the stairs...more potential victims...down the stairs...rinse... repeat...
My legs hurt today. Must be all the rain....

Posted by: Tuning Spork at September 1, 2003 07:50 PMJen--no, not really. I thought about throwing garbage bags over the seats, but there are about 20 or so, and we were completely slammed today so I didn't have time (we were giving I.O.U.'s for popcorn, because people were buying it faster than we could pop it!).
Spork, I have NO idea how to fix a leaky theater roof....:)
