But instead of having live plays that show while you eat and drink you would have movies. That sounds like a good idea. But I would probably be careful about the movies you play. I would not recommend something to gory while someone is trying to eat. I know I would loose my appitite. How many movies would you show at one time? I mean at the complex not on that one screen. I am no buisness major. But wouldn't having tables cut down on the number of people that can attend. Thereby cutting into your profits. Don't get me wrong. I like the idea. But being that I am not in Houston I would not be able to partonize your establishment very often. If you do set one let me know and I will be there one weekend. Ronald A.
