That would be awesome. The balcony situation wont deter me from patronizing the theater though and I cant wait to see Nick and Noras infinite playlist.

Steven,

The problem is that the current code calls for a railing height higher than you can see over while seated.

Also, the railing has to be fairly solid so a baby can't slip through and plummet to its doom.

I would bet that the railing on the Florida Theatre balcony would not meet current code, but it's OK because it's been there all this time.

Thus we end up thinking about a glass railing or something like that.

My gf & I stopped in for "Infinite playlist" last Saturday. More comfortable then the San Marco theatre IMO and an overall good time. Only thing I could recommend would be to lightened up on the A/C - it was freezing in there.

haha same here! I saw the same movie there on Sunday night. It went from comfortable to frigid in just a matter of a few minutes. That monster a/c unit they've got really does the job. It seems like it's geared more for the sold out, sweating, packed crowds of the former club 5 days than a quite movie theater.

We could've really used that a/c during a deftones show back in 2000, I couldn't breathe!

Oh yea, that is another thing that will take some getting used to. All of those memories from loud concerts & late night partying floods my mind when entering the old theater. It was hard to focus on Nick & Nora's dialogue because I kept having flashbacks of the genitortures gruesome antics from Saturday night seduction

I was at that show! It was a boiler for sure!! I blacked out during "7 words".. it was still one of the best shows ever though!

Will you be showing 'The Year of Getting to Know Us' soon?http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0924134/

I really hope everyone comes out to support this theater. My girlfriend and I have been there two of the past three weeks, and we love it. It is a great asset to have in Riverside. Also nothing beats being able to go out on a night to a dinner and a movie, without ever getting in a car!

We appreciate the feedback! For some reason, movie theaters are always freezing. I'll talk to the staff about the AC - it is still the same system that was used in the Club 5 days (except we did some modifications to make it quieter).

We're very excited to open "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" this Friday.

I've got a coupon for $2 off admission and $3 off domestic pitchers which I'd love to post, but I can't figure out how. It's in PDF format.
