I have some great film fan stories, but I couldn't reduce any of them to 100 words. That's only seven lines of text in a standard word document. Forget it.
I'd love to name a seat after some great performer from Old Hollywood who'd normally be overlooked in such venues, e.g. Dan Duryea, Gail Russell, Sabu, Lawrence Tierney, Theresa Harris, etc. But $2500 is a lot to spend at a time like this on a luxury like that. And the people who have money to spend like that are gonna name the seats after their egotistical selves or some relative who wouldn't even care.
