At last the vacant lots of downtown make for slightly wholesome fun on
Saturday nights!

rebellion (and rock n' roll).
John Waters'"Hairspray" (1988) and "Crybaby"(1990)
We will be set up @
529 S. Spring LA,CA 90013

In keeping with being a true "urban" event this event is largely for
bike and foot traffic with the entire front half of the lot reserved
for walk-in and bike-in patrons.
Due to the retro nature of this hep double feature room will be made
for 15-20 cars.
However, they must be pre-1965!
For Walk-ins The Million Dollar Drive In is DIY,BYO,MIU (make it up!) seating
Attendees are encouraged to think thematically
and get creative with
their picnic sites.
Prizes will be awarded for best set ups!


Gates will open @ 7:30pm. Local DJ, DJ Morgan ( Bigfoot Lodge and Bar 107)
will be spinning tunes to warm up the crowd. As soon as the sun dips
in to the Pacific( 8:15 by the almanacs prediction) the films will start.

A beer garden and concessions stand will be provided by Charlie O' s.
The Alexandria's own in house watering hole and new downtown
"hotspot"will provide all the beer,wine popcorn,candy&soda patrons
need to complete their movie going experience.

Farmers Market favorite Eric Tatro and his stealth gourmet kitchen the
" Big Red Tomato" will be parked inside to delight heartier eaters
with pizza and Belgian style fries.

Local Burlesque vixens will be on foot to serve as your
"car & camp hops" so you don't miss a second of the movie ( unless
you're staring at them...I cannot help you there)

Admission:
$7.00 per walk in/Bike in ..
$25.00 per car load ( pre 1965 cars only/ No limit on occupants)

be present as your "carhop" servers...

At 7:30 til the sun goes down
local DJ's will be on hand to get the party started.
I think a group "Madison Time" dance off might be in order.

this is a bring your own seating set up..
I encourage you to set up your own picnic areas..
think thematically!
get creative!

occupants...heh...this could be fun!) and cars MUST be pre 1965 to
be admitted.
