Hell yeah. Has been maybe three years since I went. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 13:49
Are you going to make out with me if we go? -- nm - Qale Apr 5, 13:34
Never been to a drive in. I would consider it. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 13:15 10
- Two within easy driving distance of you -- nm - prayformojo Apr 5, 13:16 9
  - really? where? -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 13:16 8
    - You said easy driving distance. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 13:18
    - Bengies up in Baltimore and the Family out in Stephens City -- nm - prayformojo Apr 5, 13:17 6
      - Bengies was where we met up, right? -- nm - kelly Apr 5, 13:28 1
        
        yup -- nm - prayformojo Apr 5, 13:33
      - (I recommend the Family - not as nice of a screen, but they aren't fascists about their rules like Bengies is [hi Inigo]) -- nm - prayformojo Apr 5, 13:18 3
        
        What does Bengies do? -- nm - David Apr 5, 13:19 1
        
        tried to confiscate my phone for taking a picture of the group in front of the screen (about 90 min before showtime) -- nm - prayformojo Apr 5, 13:20
        
        I'm not driving to effing MD for a movie. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 13:18
100% -- nm - prayformojo Apr 5, 13:15
the problem with drive ins is that car radios need more power than the battery can deliver for two hours, 3 hours, this ain't the 60s with 5w AMs -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 5, 13:03 5
- 4 hours plus. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 15:03
- Yup, I'm *old* All we ever had were the wired speakers on the post that you hung on the car window. -- nm - Meg Apr 5, 13:47
- Yeah, also, it would have to be bluetooth or something for the extra audio fidelity. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 13:07 2
  - What do you have against FM? Audio snob 😉 -- nm - JD Apr 5, 13:19 1
    - most of the surviving drive ins have low watt FM transmitters...iirc car radios have 15w per chan -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 5, 13:25
Absolutely. I loooooooooove drive-in movies. -- nm - David Apr 5, 13:01
Maybe. But leaning toward no. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 13:00
No car -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 12:59 3
- This. Can I take my bike? -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 13:00 2
  - Hmm—how about movies in a park, with roped off “spaces” - Flavorize—father of Kraken Apr 5, 13:04 1
    - I don't see how it can work in NY. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 13:21
