Tickets include up to
two consecutive movies
and a prize drawing

The prestigeous Olympia Film Society, located at the Capitol Theater in downtown Olympia, offers a free ticket to up to two
consecutive movies, free popcorn, and free coffee or soda to volunteer ticket sellers and ticket takers. I was recently granted the
opportunity to interview Kendra Hadlock, OFS Volunteer Coordinator, and Barbara, who has volunteered at the OFS for over ten
years, about the rewarding experience of ticketing at the Olympia Film Society:
C: Kendra, what are the opportunities available for those who want to volunteer to ticket at the Olympia Film
Society?
Kendra: Ticketers can volunteer Monday through Saturday, at 5:45 & 8:15 and Sundays at 1:45, 5:45, &
8:15 - Find an open shift on the volunteer signup sheet on the west wall of the Capitol Theater lobby. Sundays are often open, but
we really also need help with ticketing at live events. There is a live events sign up in the lobby as well. Available positions are
selling tickets and tearing tickets.
C: How much time should a prospective volunteer plan to set aside for each volunteer opportunity?
Kendra: One hour for regular film screenings, longer for live events (but then you get in for free!)

I went to the Capitol Theater tonight and saw " The Ground Truth" (trailer available at site), a film about the experiences of soldiers and their families in relation to the Iraq war.
It was profound, "devastating" (ref NYT review), moving, emotional and educational. If you're interested in what's happening with the war on Iraq, this film is for you. If you are, or a loved is, considering a military career, then you owe it to yourself, or him or her, to see this film.

Tonight while heading to the Wall I happened upon some new sign art on display in front of OFS. Thank you, OFS. It made my walk better. And if there's a way to do this for every movie...yes.
As well, I tried to find out who the artist is in order to give attribution, but the person at the door didn't know. I have my suspicions but if anybody else has fact for OlyBloggers and Olympians, that'd be even better.
Edit: Thank you for the information cupric oxide, and thank you for the art Vince Ryland & Ira Coyne.

Breaking News: The Capitol Theater is going to begin some major renovation tomorrow (Monday). The marquee will be removed and the awning will be repaired. So, say your last goodbyes and take a few photos bright and early because they begin at 8am. The hope is to replace the marquee with one more in the style of the original. After the marquee is removed, take a moment to notice the stained glass windows of the muses that have been hidden underneath for many years.
