I spent many a Saturday night at the Wilshire Fullerton, throwing rice and toast and doing the Time Warp. Great fun! The place was pretty well trashed so the owners (at the time, two Fullerton College film students) were pretty lenient about letting us make a mess, especially since the regulars stayed after to help sweep up. I remember the depth number marks still painted on the walls from when the place was a swimming pool. In addition to Rocky Horror every Saturday at midnight, the Wilshire was a great place to catch older and arthouse-type pics. I was first introduced to Lena Wertmuller and Federico Fellini there. They had a great frequent-users club called Celluloid Junkies Anonymous; I still have my old card somewhere, although that was over 30 years ago.
