As Joel said, FAF members have access to the AEIOU list which is available
on-line. FAF no longer makes a printed version due to the costs. I have, I
think, one of the last print versions made. The membership thing is great
if you're living in SF but more of a donation if you live outiside of the
Bay Area, unless you want to pay $45+ a year to subscribe to RP (nothing
against RP by the way, I like the magazine).
I don't know what the AEIOU looks like now but the printed version I have
gives subission formats, address, and seating capacity. What I am working
on is focused exclusively on film and details what kind of projection is
at a particular venue (eg, Bell & Howell Marc 300, Kinoton FP-16, Kodak
Pageant 250S, Eiki 6120, etc), as these are concerns that many filmmakers
have - "what is my print going to play on".
I will make note of the new (possible) venue down in Santa Fe, sounds
nice. Also, thanks Bridget for the Oly info. A few places there I was
unaware of even though your but a 2 hr drive north of here.
