Jeaz used to work for Landmark's Ogden Theatre. She had short, wavy brown hair and olive skin. She had spent a year in France. When she came back, she began to work at the Esquire. I met her during during a screening that was taking place at the Mayan. We hit it off right away. She excitedly told me about her time in France and took a genuine interest in me.
Unfortunately, I found out during that initial conversation that she had a boyfriend. Dang it! I thought she actually liked me.
After a few months, she had gotten into some trouble at the Esquire and requested to be transferred to the Mayan. I was happy about that because it meant I would get to spend more time with her. She turned out to be one of our best employees. I don't know what the problem was at the Esquire, but she certainly didn't cause any problems at our theatre.
I remember going to a party at the home of one of the employees. Jeaz was there with her boyfriend. This was the first time I got to meet him. He and I were on the same level of attractiveness. He was a nice guy, but I still couldn't see what she saw in him. We talked a couple of times, but I wouldn't say we were friends.
Even though I enjoyed the times that we worked together and socialized, it was really hard for me because she always acted like she was interested. It made me ache sometimes. I just knew we could be a really good couple, but it just couldn't happen while she had that boyfriend.
However, I did succeed to getting her to go out on a date with me. (She probably doesn't think it was a date, but I'm counting it as one.) In Denver, we would frequently receive invitations for industry screenings of movies before they're released. We got one for the film "Regarding Henry." Jeaz expressed an interest in seeing that. I told her I could take her. Interestingly enough, the other person who was in a Ring Zone with Cynz got an invitation as well. However, his invitation instructed him to bring a woman to the screening. He wound up bringing Cynz.
I got to go to Jeaz' apartment and pick her up for the film. We didn't get anything to eat. It was a really simple date. I only had to burn a little gas. I always wondered about what her boyfriend thought about her going to the movies with another guy.
One of our projectionists at the Mayan also worked at a nearby porn movie theatre. I remember when she found out about that, she asked him about what things were like over there. She was planning to surprise her boyfriend by taking him there. Yeah, that was the one time I was glad I wasn't her boyfriend.
After I moved to San Diego, she tried to come visit me at the theatre where I worked. Unfortunately, I wasn't working at the time, so I missed her. She didn't try to come back and catch me there. As a result, I have not seen her since.
At some point after that, she became the House Manager of the Esquire and held that position until 1995. I found her on Facebook a few years ago and sent her a friend request. She never responded (even though I included a note explaining who I was). She still lives in the Denver area. I don't know if she ever got married, but it certainly doesn't look like she had any children.
I have found her profile on LinkedIn, which gives a LOT more information. After she stopped working for Landmark, she went into the cable industry. During that time, she got an Associate's degree in Media and a Bachelor's in Communication Media and Technology Studies. Right now, she's running her own cable consulting business. If I could connect with her on LinkedIn without having to send her an e-mail first, I'd probably have her as a connection.
Sometime, when I'm not feeling so lazy, I'll probably attempt to do that.
