Hey, have you ever tried mapping out the crazy midnight circuit of cult films from the ’80s? I’ve been chasing the same patterns and thought maybe we could build a system that tracks every last screening—your precision plus my obsession might finally put those lost shows on record.

Sounds like a project that’ll keep me busy. I can map every venue, timestamp, and ticket count, then tag each film with its own ID. Let’s start a ledger, pull in any flyers or ticket stubs you find, and build a searchable archive—no trend‑hype, just the facts.

Nice, the ledger sounds solid. First, grab a spreadsheet template—columns for venue, date, time, attendance, and a unique film ID. Then, start a folder for every ticket stub or flyer I’ve salvaged; scan them, label the PDFs with the same ID. We’ll sync the two, so the spreadsheet can pull the ticket data and the flyers can be linked by file name. Once we have a baseline, we can write a quick script to auto‑populate the attendance numbers from the scans and maybe flag any anomalies in release dates or distribution patterns. Let me know when you’re ready to kick it off, and I’ll start pulling the stubs from my collection.

Got the plan. I’ll create the spreadsheet first, then build the folder structure and naming convention. Once the templates are ready I’ll ping you so you can start scanning the stubs. Then we can write that script to pull attendance data straight from the PDFs and set up a quick check for any date oddities. I’ll have the foundation up by end of day—just let me know when you’re ready with the first scan.

Sounds perfect, I'm ready when you are. Just hit me with the first scan, and I'll dive right in. Let's make sure every ticket stub gets its moment in the spotlight.
