jwvogel@att.net BioNo, I'm not that Joe Vogel, or that one, either. Nor am I Joseph Vogel, artist. But this stuff is all my fault.
For now, this journal is mostly a handy place for me to put (in private posts) copies of comments I've made on other web sites, especially sites dealing with movie theaters and their history (just in case their message boards get eaten, which I've seen happen before.) It's also a place to meet other people who are interested in the subject (I know you exist!) Say Hi on a public entry if you love old movie theatres—or if you even just like them a little bit! Just click on the name "cinedude' above to be magically transported to my sparse journal page.
Someday, I'm going to get around to posting some more public stuff here, and put on this page a bunch of links to various sites dealing with movie theatres and other subjects I find interesting.
Links of Interest
Cinema Treasures (my verbiage is splattered all over the pages about various theatres in the Los Angeles area!)

Public Domain Torrents features hundreds of classic and "B" movies which have lapsed into the public domain, available for free download.
