City Who?

The drive-in represents a time long gone...or maybe not.

I was able to go to the local drive-in movie theatre that only reopened a few years ago and again, it was a wonderful experience. We picked up my former intern and nabbed a great space to see...wait for it....

CITY SLICKERS

What? Never heard of it? You think it's old? Why did I see it?

For those who have never heard of the movie, its a Billy Crystal movie about three friends who have an adventure of herding cattle from New Mexico to Colorado, while dealing with their own mid-life crises.

I had never seen it before, so that was one reason we chose this movie. And two, I was kind of on a time crunch. Scheduling between all of us was tight on when we were all available, so that limited our selection.

Honestly, I was very happy. Had a great day of bowling and dinner, prior to the main event of the movie and got to catch up with my girl Amanda! Not a bad day at all!

Drive-In Fun

Tonight should have been my second adventure to the drive-in. I had never been to a drive-in theatre before a few weeks ago and I got to watch Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Too bad I did make it through the movie. We got there in plenty of time, grabbed some grub from the concession stand and chilled, watching all of the cars pack into a very small space considering the number of cars.


Gone were the day of the radios that you put into your car from the stand that you would have parked next to. Instead, you tune into a certain radio station and poof, the movie magic is in your car without having to leave the windows down or deal with heat or bugs.



It was a very nice night though, so the windows did stay down...and we didn't need the car's radio on. The gigantic truck we parked next to had their sound pumped up so loud, we couldn't even tell if ours was even on.


I ended up not feeling good, so I hoped in the backseat for a quick nap and then we ended up leaving early, so I could get some actual sleep and we could avoid the traffic.

Despite the setbacks, I really loved the experience and planned on going tonight, but life has other plans. I'm home sick and detesting it. I wish I could be out in the cool night air enjoying Jurassic Park....but alas....I'm watching it at home, with a bunch of Kleenex and juice.

Ah well...
