I can't wait for tomorrow. It is a holiday for the largest segment of the United State's population. It is called "Cinco de Mayo".

Sink the mayonnaise?

As in eat a bunch of it? Gross!

I celebrate the 5th of May for a different reason.

Gee, and I thought this might mention Kent State.

I'll celebrate May 4th (today) as the first sell out night of the 2007 season at the drive-in, the first night of this season with 15 staff members working, and concessions lines that start at 6:30 p.m. and end near 11:30 p.m. [thumbsup]

Wanna spread some of that around? [Big Grin]

Filling this place would be nice.

Daryl, do you work at the Can View? Looks like a well thought out lot. Was it built as a four screen from the beginning?

I had a look at their website...the FAQ (or as they call it FAA) could use a few suggestions from a spell / composition check. [Confused]

Spidey only on one screen...well that one will be full anyway.

I enjoyed this part of the Can View Drive-In's concession menu:

Just took these out of the refrigerator:

Now they're on ice in my "ice cube" Igloo cooler. Ready for Cinco De Mayo! Start the grill! If the huge liquor store nearby had some Sol Beer I would have bought at least a six pack of that.

It's owned by some friends of mine. I don't work there but I maintain their booth. It's about a 3.5 hour drive from where I live. It was designed as a four screen. If I remember correctly it opened with 2 screens, with the additional 2 screens following a season or two later.

Yeah, the site is a joke. I have a feeling it may change soon. My favourite though is the copyright slug, "Can View Drive-In Theatres Reserve the right!"

Up to ~550 cars at 2-4(-6) people per car, I don't think they'll do too bad. [Smile]

I didn't realize the Pic coils were still available. I thought that product left the shelves in the 80's.

Posted by John Wilson (Member # 269) on 05-07-2007, 12:06 AM:

Maybe they just call them Pic for nostalgia? Mosquito coils are still available though...their 'exclusive' aluminum foil tray makes sure not an ash goes on the dash. [Wink]

Posted by Daryl C. W. O'Shea (Member # 1303) on 05-07-2007, 12:42 AM:

You can still buy all the Pic coils you want. They make a nice afternoon snack.

Posted by John Wilson (Member # 269) on 05-07-2007, 04:59 AM:

Don't forget to use ketchup or mustard though.

Posted by James Westbrook (Member # 3690) on 05-07-2007, 11:11 AM:

I could dip them in keiso, or salsa...

It has been 1457 days since the last post.

I should charge George for using my idea. [Razz]

Thieves!
