Drive-Ins were a huge part of my family’s life. We went to the Valley Drive-In in south Denver. We’d make an absolute fuckton of popcorn with lots of butter (Enough to fill a paper grocery bag) and take it, along with our own personal popcorn bowls (They were aluminum with a popcorn design on them. Mine was silver with purple popcorn on it.) We brought Shasta pop too. Cherry cola or raspberry for me. Or maybe grape.

Us kids wore pajamas because it was a thing. Not sure why it was a thing, but it sure was fun. I guess it made it more special. <3

We’d go to see Disney movies, always a double feature with cartoons. So it would be something like “Jungle Book” as the main feature and maybe “The Shaggy Dog” or “The Absent Minded Professor” as the first feature.

I was always so excited to go, and I almost always stayed awake for the whole thing. But even if I slept through the main movie, it was still the most fun ever.

Dude thinks drive-ins are the wave of the future for movies and concerts. Perfect social distancing, but still doing something with other people.

Do you remember the moment it got dark, everyone would honk until the picture started? :D
