<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000><STRONG>Probably some of you have noticed
we have been experimenting with different showtimes lately.<BR>The Late
Winter/early Spring is traditionally a slower time for us, and what better
slot to try a few experiments before some of the big Summer
blockbusters are released?</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000><STRONG>We hope we have not inconvenienced
you with our "tests"!</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000><STRONG><EM>Our current showtime model
is one we have had in place for almost our entire 10 year history, and we just
want to make sure that is still a viable schedule.</EM></STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma
color=#000000><STRONG><EM></EM></STRONG></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000><STRONG>Especially problematic to our later
shows on Sunday nights is the fact that there STILL are no restaurants open
in downtown on Sundays!!</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000><STRONG>I have been yowling about this for
10 years, but STILL no results!!</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000><STRONG>That makes it very difficult to
stay open late on Sunday nights when we are the <U>ONLY draw at that
time</U>!</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000><STRONG></STRONG></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000><STRONG>We will, most likely, keep it to an
earlier closing on Sunday nights <U>until we are firmly into
Spring</U>.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000>(Or until one of our
downtown restaurateurs is finally convinced of all the business they
lose by not being open on Sundays!)<BR></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000><EM><STRONG>It was hoped there would be a
new restaurant <U>that would be open on Sundays</U> in that
beautiful new building just a half block down from us, but, so far, the
building is <U>still</U> almost vacant!</STRONG></EM></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><EM><FONT face=Tahoma
color=#000000><STRONG></STRONG></FONT></EM> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000><STRONG>As has been pointed out to me
by<EM> industry analysts</EM>, the Avon is a "destination" theater, and people
coming to the Avon are going <U>TO</U> the Avon!<BR>With only 3 screens, we
can't begin to offer ALL the movies, or the endless showtimes the "other guys"
can!</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
