Oh, but I do. Are you sure you don't want to share?

Aww.. young Drive-In love!

Now, that I think about it, whomever had the pleasure of tending to the grounds of the Drive-In the following morning must have had to majorly held back the gag as he swept up, rather peeled up, scads of used condoms.

Mmm...popcorn, candy wrappers and..used romans!

*YACK*

I think I just wanted to see what sex with the sexually repressed was like.

Roadsidepeek, what a FAB-U-LOUS website, now bookmarked to savour like a good olive.

I used to go to the drive-in Prudence mentioned in Bellingham! Then we moved to Whidbey Island and there's one there too. I think it's still in operation (though honestly it's been years since I've driven by it), though they added go-karts to it. We also have been to one in Tacoma with my sister in law and family. There aren't any (that I'm aware of, Wendybeth?) open over here though so we haven't been to one in at least 12 years. It was always a lot of fun though.

Regarding seeing the screen and being comfy -

I went with friends a couple times as a kid, and they had an older SUV. They'd park it backwards and open up the back so we could all lay down there with blankets and watch. Parents sat in lawn chairs. We had snacks in a cooler. It was more like tailgaiting than anything.

When GD and I went, we took my 79 Buick wagon, parked it backwards and got really comfy in the back.

Drive-ins...

Ah, how I do miss that experience. It really was kinda fun, wasn't it?

The navy base I was on in Spain(Rota if you need to know) has a Drive in theater. Saw a few movies there, good times drinking and bbq'ing while some movie was playing. Don't remember watching too many good movies, it was just a chance to hang out with the peeps from work in a more social setting and hang out for a bit with a brew and some food.

You had a barbeque? Yeh, that is pretty much why I stopped going to the movies.

Hell yeah, but the bbq area was towards the back of the lot to keep the distractions down. Sigh, twas good times.

We weren't that advanced in South City, but I do miss the Drive In. I can't see the concept working as well in this day and age, what with all the Hummers* and such. Indeed, the last time I went to the drive-in movies a giant monster truck pulled right in front of me. And worse, it was wearing a big hat.
