Let's go to the Drive -In!
Who's up for a MINI gathering at the Boulevard Drive-In on a Friday or Saturday night?
I think it would be a hoot to get 10 or 20 MINI's in the front two rows, anyone want to come?
Edit: Sat July 12th has been chosen........respondees so far include
Minidave
Kabootist
Minigeoff
Aris
Marlow Main
monty
Laurie
Saturn
Matti the MINI
Kenshin138
Speed Racer
Kraydl
Edit2: We'll meet at the corner of 14th and Merriam Lane before 7:30 so we can all caravan down to the theatre - we want to arrive at or just before the doors open at 7:30 so we can commandeer the best spots.
Bring:
Cash
Lawn Chairs
Blankets
Cooler, drinks and snacks
Insect repellant
Glasses if you wear them
Your smile!

Ha! You beat me to it!
I would have loved to do it this weekend as they're showing Wal-E and Kung Fu Panda, but there's too much already going on this weekend with the Art of the Car show at the art gallery on Saturday and MATM on Sunday.
July 11th and 12th are pretty open on the calendar right now.......

I called the theatre today and they say they never know till the week before what they'll be showing. Apparently they get a list of available films and choose one or two based on that and cost........I'll call ahead as it gets closer and post up the film when I know what will be on.

Put us down for 1 MINI/2 peeps. I think we will try and make this.
Do you think we should meet up somewhere first and arrive at the drive in all together as a group? It may be hard to park by each other if we arrive seperately. Do you know what time they open up?
When you guys go to the drive in do you stay for both shows? We have only been to The Boulevard one other time and I think we stayed for both. I would agree about bringing chairs or a blanket though. Last time we tried to sit in the car the whole time and my back was killing me by the end of two movies!

I just got back from my first Drive-In movie experience last week in Warwick, NY where more than 200 MINIs filled the place. It was awesome! We saw the new Indiana Jones flick and got free popcorn and soda sponsored by Prestige MINI in NJ.
This was one of our stops on the MTTS drive from Miami to Boston.
This sounds like a lot of fun but we'll be in Winter Park that weekend.
Have fun and upload some pics for me.

That's a good idea to meet up someplace ahead of time and caravan down. My plan was to take the middle of either the first or first two rows. Then we can sit between the rows or down in front.
Those of us who are younger might want to park in the back!
We usually try to stay for the second film, but it really depends on what's playing. The first movie is usually the headliner, but it doesn't really get dark enough till about 1/2 hour into the movie (to me)
I've gone as early as 7:30, so we can go early and eat and what haveyou if we want. If we get enough cars committed I'll see what arrangements I can make to reserve parking spaces, but the best thing would probably be to caravan down together.
I recommend lawn chairs, a couple of blankies and plenty of skeeter repellent!

Just for grins, I did a quick Google search for the movies that are being released on Friday the 11th. These could possibly be showing on the 12th when we go.
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (PG-13)
Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D (PG)

My Mom doesnt let me watch anything thats PG-13 or above....I might not be able to go...
I drove by the drive in the other day, and if i wasn't looking for it, I would of blew by it. Never knew I had something like it only 10 mins from my house. then again it was the first time I had been NE of 635 on Merriam Ln. I also feel special being #2 on the list..
