Drive In Updates-- all the news you can use!


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

"The Million Dollar Drive In" Downtown L.A.'s first "urban drive-in"
launches August 25th, 2007 with a double feature tribute to teenage
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)

**RSVP is mandatory for cars since space is limited.

Join us 2 weeks later on Saturday Sept 8th, 2007
for a "car-less" event that is anything BUT pedestrian.
As Fleur de Lethal and Down in Downtown come together to
celebrate cycling in a city that bike paths forgot
with the ultimate cinema tribute to bike worship:
"Pee-Wee's Big Adventure"
This "Night of a 1000 Pee-Wee's" will feature look-a-like contests,
a "Tequila" sing along & dance-off and many more bike "geared"
activities.


Hope To See You There!-
Nico Bella
