yay for drive-in movies! what a wonderful vestige of a past culture… I’m so glad that in my lifetime they’re still around and experience-able.

there are no such things as drive-in movies on the east coast (at least the parts I lived in – there was too much “civilization” light to have a screen outside). the only drive-in relics left are the giant screens, ripped to shreds but still standing, and overgrown parking lots laying fallow.

David and I went to see a couple of movies at a local (local to Oxford, that is) drive-in. “I, Robot” and “Anchorman” were the “selections” (interesting word choice here – you don’t get to “select” anything. =) *these* movies, *these* times.) playing. it was an interesting game, getting D to fit comfortably (?) in my 2-door car, but it was the car or the cold. I wish I’d have taken pictures – he had his huge feet hanging out of the window at one point.

that was the last time I’ll probably see Oxford while David’s living there. it was almost sad. =) too bad we didn’t discover the drive-in sooner, too bad we didn’t play more frisbee golf while he was there. well, next place he lives, we’ll have to find things to do that are unique to the area. one good thing about him being so much closer – we’ll be able to go to more concerts/operas and things that are held *by* the university. we can play frizolf here in Indy, if not in Anderson.

and, good news – we can still go to more drive-ins because we live in the midwest. =)
