Question
Hey Bret, I'm making a senior thesis film at NYU and I wanted to include a very funny scene about people trying to figure out how to close accordian style bleachers. I wanted to know, do you or perhaps could you find someone who would know when these style bleachers were invented/first became popular. Thanks for any info where I might find this answer, you da man Bret!! I LOVE THE INTERNET! I LOVE THE F**KING INTERNET! and sports, and basketball, and motocross, and skysurfing.

Seriously though, thanks Bret.

Answer
Hi Johnny,

I'm glad to see your having fun with your film. I wish I new the answer to your question, but I really don't. I would go to a local gym that has those type of bleachers, and see if there is a company name somewhere labeled on the bleachers. If so, call them and they would probably have some useful information that you could use.

And your right, the Internet is a pretty awsome thing if used the proper way.  I love your enthusiasm, keep that up, and don't lose it. Good luck with your project.
