This tickled me because yesterday I was talking to a youngster {oh, about 18 I guess} and talking about going to see the Friday the 13th movies at the walk-in....

Duh, they don't call them walk-ins any more do they? Isn't it just going to the movies?

Back then it was either the drive in or walk in...well, before '89 I guess.

It's all a blur....

I have never heard of a non drive in theater referred to as a walk in.

I haven't heard that term before, either.

I just did some searching and I'm seeing the term used not for a regular movie theater but for walk-in outdoor venues. So the Cemetery screenings would be a "walk-in theater." Is that what you mean by the term?

I just asked Lani and she doesn't know the term either and she is, without going into specifics, older than me.

Either way I hadn't heard the term.

Ok, I must have been at Disneyland sometime in 1989 if that was the year Splash opened. First visit every but I don't really remember anything about it other than drunken German relatives who had absolutely no concept of how big this country is (their list for a week included Disneyland, Indians, the Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore, and Willie Nelson).

Certainly didn't make an impression on me as all that great of a place. Visited again in 1992 (same German relatives visiting again) and that likely would have been my last visit ever if it weren't for meeting Lani and eventually making friends creating the park into something more than just a tourist attraction.

Your on a major mojo roll today! I admit, I'm dying laughing over the list of activities. Hahaha!!

Kevy has me in stiches, too, over a 20 minute rendition of 867-5309 Jenny. Seriously?? That's so Iron Butterfly.
