As most of you may know, Josh, Cam and I served popcorn for a living in Banff. It turned out to be the perfect job for us, as the most difficult part of the job was probably fighting off the boredom between each movie session.
Box office. This is where tickets got sold by the 'box officers'.
Corridor leading up to the theatres and the concession stand. the big orange thing on the right is a standee of the new Dr. Seuss movie that Cam and I spent around 5 hours putting together. It looked good for about 5 minutes before it started falling apart.
Cam bucketing some ice into the ice bucket. This was probably the pinnacle of physical labour that we had to go through at this place.
The 'Pop' machine. Ignore the underside of the drink taps, it doesn't taste as dirty as it looks.
Cam busy at work again, transferring popcorn from the popcorn machine to the warmer. All the English tourists that came into the cinema were flabbergasted when they found out that we didn't serve sweet popcorn.
Organizing candy, the pinnacle of mental exertion required.
Regular bars, family bars, then M&M's.
Popcorn machine hard at work.
Josh the Box Officer hard at work, he owns the box.
Cam and I hard at work, doing what we do best.
19th of Feb was the night of our self-imposed going away party, where we got to watch the Night at the Roxbury on the cinema screen. It was a fun and emotional night, where Cam and I got our shirts signed by our co-employees and bosses.
Lola & Luz, two Phillipino ladies who keep this place going.

Best wishes to all our friends at the cinema, hopefully we'll get to catch up someday.
