Last night J and I had a date night at the drive-in theater. The Malco Drive-In on Summer is probably one of the best hidden jewels of Memphis. 1. It's cheaper than the regular theater - $7/adult and children under 10 are FREE; 2. You pay for a double feature - that's right folks 2 movies for $7; 3. The theater snacks are cheaper - I think we got 2 hot dogs, a large popcorn, and a large sprite for $14; 4. You can bring your own snacks - yep, if you don't want to pay for snacks you can bring your own, including a a bottle of wine; 4. You have the privacy of sitting in your own vehicle; 5. You can take advantage of gorgeous weather. Also, another perk in this circumstance was that J wanted to see "The Hangover, Part 2", well, at any regular theater tickets would have been sold out fast, but at the drive-in they don't have that problem. Some of the cons of the drive-in are that 1. The movies start late bc the sun doesn't set til 8PM - our movie started at 8:30; 2. The drive-in is popular among some underage crowds who like to bring coolers of beer in and get tanked and rowdy during the movie; 3. Poor drive-in etiquette - I'm not sure there is such, but be sure to turn you headlights off people.
Overall, I love, love, love the drive-in. It's one of my favorite things to do when the weather is nice.
Moving on...
Hangover 2 was good and funny, but I don't think it was better than the original, but what's new there. I just hope it doesn't give the fiance any crazy ideas.
