I remember a large gang assembling at the 328 and walking down to see the opening of Roller Ball one afternoon. I think Tee may have quit a job to go to the movie. The movie was a disappointment, but it was a good afternoon.
My favorite double feature of all time was Zardoz and Phantom Of The Paradise.
Bring back the Bargain Matinee, please.

Yessss! You are indeed correct ... I was working for Key Personnel in the spring of 1975 .... I was paid strictly on commission ... and since I never placed anyone in a job in my brief three week tenure ... I was never paid ... so one afternoon after a long lunch break which likely included too many malt beverages and perhaps a shot or two of Wild Turkey, my boss walked by my office and caught a glimpse of me sitting on my desk ... he musta took a few more steps and did a double take, before retreating up the hall … he entered my office and inquired if everything was ok … was I alright? … I told him I was great and had been waiting for him …. so I could tell him I wanted to quit my job to catch the matinee … he sensed I was serious and told me to take the afternoon off …. I certainly accepted that offer but informed I was gonna be taking the next month or so off also …. It was a great movie.
