I too have many many memories… For me Saturday night Grateful Dead Movie… that was a long run before Rocky Horror took over… I always felt it was Rocky that began the down fall of the mini.. Once Rocky started there were lines circling the parking lot to get in… for every show… and due to such large crowds there was an accident when someone got pushed through the front window.. but enough of the bad… I lived in East Meadow, close enough to walk there. How about the carrots at the Bugs Bunny Festival. Now my favorite comment over the years which I still tell.. I had older brothers, so my parents knew what went on in the mini…. (lots of herb)so…
when ever I came home reaking of pot, my mom would say “you smell like smoke” and I knew what she meant, all I had to say is, “I was at the Mini”. End of discussion. Now this is a true story. I was there with about 10 buddies… we had a large plaster pipe that had a lon tube that everyone one could get a hot off of… I was sitting on the aisle.. one of the onwners stop and said “come on guys, joints and handpipes are fine but please” We were more that happy to accomadate. It was a great place for sure… Yes I remember the dog now. And then the Jerry Lewis theater.. loved the mural
Yes I saw Gums and Pelvis double feature
