Blog poll: How do you get your Moxie showtimes?

EXCERPT:  We're doing a quick poll to determine how our customers access our showtimes. If you have a spare 30 seconds, would you mind heading over here and filling out the poll. I'm sure the majority of you use our online calendar, as you're already on our website reading this post, but feel free to also include any of the other mediums you find helpful. The information will be used to help us determine the best way for us to advertise our showtimes in the new location. Having two screens will mean we might have to change our monthly print ...

Friday: watch Conan O'Brien tonight

EXCERPT:  I'm writing this from my phone, so it's going to be short. Watch Conan tonight and you can see Nicole and I in the third row of the audience. I'm sitting on the aisle in a black shirt. The full story will come later. Adios! ...

Week 10: Some good great news

EXCERPT:  Our construction bids came in at the end of last week, and I'm happy to announce that we found a contractor who will complete our project within our allotted budget. That's great news, obviously, but we're not out of the woods yet. While the majority of the construction is theoretically taken care of, we're still on the hook for our entire bar build-out, all our bar equipment, 35mm projection equipment for the second screen, theater chairs, lobby furniture, and finishing the floors. Even still, knowing that 95% of the build-out is taken care of, without us having to use any ...

Week 8: The one about rising prices

EXCERPT:  *I know this post is a bit long-winded, but there's lots of important goodies in here so don't skip it! When we opened The Moxie back in 2005, we did a lot of research regarding ticket and concession prices. On opening day our adult evening ticket ($8.00) was the same price as Campbell 16, and $0.50 more expensive than Springfield 8. Within a matter of months, however, Springfield 8 bumped up their adult evening shows to match ours and Campbell's, and over the next two years both theaters would raise ticket prices again to $8.50, while ours remained at ...

Week 6,7,8: What the crap?!

EXCERPT:  What happened? Where're all the posts for weeks six, seven, and eight?! Oh... that's right... I didn't write them! Shame on me. If this blog were a plant, and my writing the equivalent of life-sustaining water, this portion of the website would be as dried up and dead as all those brown plants in our lobby! What can I say... my thumb's about as green as it is awesome*. *obvious lie; all parts of my body are AWESOME! Seriously though, where has the time gone these last few weeks? I meant to sit down and bang out a ...
