I also agree - as someone who does PR and programming for a living - that doing a dive-in year round would be a unique selling point for your place. If you need advice on what you can show without paying for it, shoot me an email. It would also be great to show stuff like Elvis movies, for instance, but those might get pricey. Still, for special ocassions, the few hundred bucks for studio permission - and some studios, like Sony, are easier to deal with than others - might prove cost effective, it depends on your overhead for any given event, and what you're trying to achieve. BTW, The Reef is terrific. Great decor and good drinks. Personally I love the Conga Lounge's concept of showing compilation tapes of various "tiki scenes" from movie and tv shows behind the bar, and they would make great background noise for the pool parties, too. Also, for next time - more B movie trivia with prizes and the Tiki Goddess "Thrillville" style before the Oasis dive-in, or no, or whatever, you can take it or leave it?
