      Hi Bob,

      It was nice to see you at the Redford Theatre for Willy Wonka. I came to look for you after the Q & A was over and I couldn’t find you. Sorry I missed you.

      I thought their VIP ticket experience was great and I look forward to other special events that they will do in the future. Did you hear the organist play? Justin LaVoie is amazing!!! http://redfordtheatre.com/artists/

      Thanks for writing your blog. How can I subscribe so I get updates as you release them?

      Hi Laura,

      I enjoyed your question to Peter and Paris about the scene where Charlie and his grandfather float up in the air, and I’m sure Peter and Paris did too. I was there with my brother, sister, and mother as a birthday present for my mother. We didn’t stay for the movie and left right away. I did attend the Friday movie and blogged about it at http://detroitmoviepalaces.com/blog/?p=2950.

      Thanks for your interest in subscribing. The blog host (WordPress) has an RSS link at the bottom of the page – I’m not sure how that works. I’ve been doing about 1-2 a month, so if you check around the first of the month you should always see something new.

      The Redford has done a great job with the meet-and-greet events. They’ve just announced their next one with Shirley Jones and The Music Man on September 14 (http://redfordtheatre.com/movie/).

      Justin is great. I’ve heard him do everything from a Frank Sinatra ballad to Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.

      Bob
