"late night revision" by ChrisB in SEA

Seattlest Flickr pool contributer ChrisB in SEA wonders if anyone else ever wanted to do marquee duty as a kid. Or an adult. Seattlest, for one, would still volunteer for the job. Anyone else?

I did marquee duty as a kid when I worked at a drive-in movie in Michigan. It's fun the few times - all those people looking and wondering what you're going to put up.

It becomes not fun the first time you have to do it in a driving ice storm, wondering whether you're going to slip and fall off the scaffold into the traffic below...but, just like the show that must go on, when it's time to change films, the marquee must switch (through rain or snow, or sleet or dark of night... etc etc etc)
