The Eagle Night at the Drive In

Last Thursday we had the Eagle and Cypress Motors Night at the Clearwater Drive In! It was deemed a huge success! Let me list some stats to prove that point:

- 2007 (the first Eagle Night at the Drive In) .... 37 cars show up.

- 2008 (the second Eagle Night at the Drive In) .... 15 cars show up.

- 2009 (you get where I'm going with this) .... 85 plus cars show up!

- over 300 people attend Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen!
- We give away a crap load of prizes and Jason Unreau wins ACDC tickets!
- Clearwater Drive In goes through 40 lbs of popcorn!
- They also go through 20 lbs of butter! ... My bum is still jiggling.

I don't know what it is about attending a Drive In ... but it's almost magical. It reminds me of the 60's when people actually carried on conversations with people they didn't know, everyone owned some sort of a muscle car, and it was nothing but _____, ______, and Rock N Roll!! (Not that I ever lived in the 60's ... but I've heard good things)

We couldn't have asked for a better night too! It rained all the way to the landing before letting up, giving us a beautiful night for a Drive In movie! People were using lawn chairs, kids were on the playground in front of the big screen, and popcorn was being consumed in high volumes! What an awesome time!

Here are some pics ....
