go to a drive in theatre

...this entry as to why I’m ‘giving up’ this goal. Actually, I ought to mark it complete since I’ve technically done it before…

I guess I’m just leaving this goal on my list as a reminder that, if I don’t have anything else to do, I could go to a drive-in. I have too many other more important things going on right now to make a deadline for myself to do this.

If I haven’t done this by the end of October, I’ll probably take it off my list.

After searching around on the internet for awhile, I finally found a drive-in theater near L.A. which hasn’t gone out of business: Vineland Drive-In.

Next steps: set a date/time and find out which friends want to come along. I bet I can convince K. to bring her pickup truck…or N. with his convertible.

It was the double feature of “Honey I Shrunk the Kids” and Arachnaphobia. I’m not sure if my parents realized Arachnaphobia was going to be playing but we stayed to watch it anyway. I was only about 8 years old so I was terrified of spiders for the next week or so, but then I kind of snapped out of it…

I’ve been back to drive-ins a number of times since then, but it’s never been quite as scary :-)

I guess I want to go to a drive-in again this summer…I’m not going to count this as complete so that it will stay on my main list.
