| Damon Atchison asked about organs in the San Francisco Bay Area.  Having
lived in and near the Bay Area for a number of years, I can recommend a
few theatre organs.  You'll probably have to call the theatres to check
on any possible performances.
  Castro Theatre, San Francisco
It seemed they usually gave a concert prior to the movie at least on
Friday and Saturday nights.
  Stanford Theatre, Menlo Park (on the peninsula)
Recently restored with funds donated by David Packard (of Hewlett-Packard
Co. fame), this is a wonderful theatre.  Again, it seemed Friday and
Saturday were the nights to hear the organ.  They also usually have a
nice run of classic movies.
  Paramount Theatre, Oakland (East Bay, across the Bay Bridge)
One of the finest examples of Art Deco picture palaces.  Give them
a call regarding any possible concerts.
I'm probably missing some but these were the ones I had the privilege
to hear.
