Hey Nick,

Some of us old Annex croakers were talking about putting up a history bb on
the Annex site to document all of the amazing stories. This incredible story
made me think about how cool it would be to have a national message based
board where people could document the trials and victories of this new
generation of small theaters.

Jonathan.

This is an amazing story. Thank you for sharing.

Brad, 

I saw the movie. '-)
