That's an advanced form of having pizza delivery on speed dial. I once saw a man--I think it was during a showing of <i>The Texas Chainsaw Massacre</i>--who arrived with a van that housed a frozen margarita machine, with elecrtic power supplied by a small Honda generator. He was liberal with his dispensing and accepted small donations. Management, in the form of a pimply, paper-hatted popcorn seller attached to the theater, came out and objected, but the sound of a 12 ga. pump shotgun being actuated sent him quickly back to prior tasks without further comment.

I hope so... Daryl: yes to everything, except the speakers. I think a drunk drove off with the last one a while ago. It's all on a special radio station now. I haven't seen any swing sets, either, but people do play frisbee and football before the show. The award for Best Prepared Patrons of the Drive In goes to the fellas in the pickup behind and to the right of us when we went to see Sarah Marshall (and, incidentally, the only thing better than Jason Segel's penis on a gigantic screen is Jason Segel's penis on a gigantic screen when you weren't remotely aware that there is ANY sort of nudity whatsoever in the movie...SURPRISE!) who pulled into the spot and then jumped out to unload the COUCH and LA-Z-BOY form the truck bed. That was pretty cool. Andrew: did we get to the drive in while you were here? I hope so…

Do they still have an intermission? Do they play that old roller rink music and show the lazysusan turning to display the popcorn and treats to be had in the stand that houses the projector? Do you still hook the speaker onto your car window, and do drunk patrons still drive off and tear the speaker away when they go? Do people still play frizbee between the ranks of cars while waiting for the movie to start? Do they still have swing sets down at the front where kids can try to swing high enough to get displayed on the screen when only the white light is showing? Hell, who cares what the movie is--the whole thing is glorious. Erin– Oh I miss drive-in theaters. Do they still have an intermission?

(It's the best way to movie-watch, in my opinion. No one sitting uncomfortably close to you, no one talking, no screaming children/spouses/boyfriends/girlfriends, no couple making out behind you, etc. etc. etc...the best part is when it's over, you're already in the car and ready to leave. ) I am SO excited because our drive-in theater is showing Wall*E this week.
