Let's Fly

Who: You and all the cool people you know.

What: Superman Returns

Where: The Mendon Drive-in

When: This sounds like a subject for debate.[Poll #750028]

Why: Because Superman needs to be seen on the bigger screen.

How: Easy. Cram yourself and all your closest friends into your car, drive on down to Mendon, and park.

But, Greg, don't drive-ins suck?
Why no, actually they don't.

But, Greg, how will we hear the movie?
Drive a car with a radio, or bring a boombox.

But, Greg, what if it rains?
It won't rain. The only time I've seen inclement weather at the drive-in was when we saw Batman Begins. And do you know why there was inclement weather then? Ambience. It started raining lightly when it was raining onscreen, and stopped raining when it was done.

The Mendon Twin is an awesome theatre, so awesome, in fact, that the second screen was built just a few short years ago. It's $20 a car, so if you stingy folks out there pile into a car for four, that's $2.50 per movie. The snack bar is also awesome and reasonably priced. But remember to bring cash, they don't take American Express (or Visa or Mastercard, for that matter).

I Wish I Could Go Back To College

doc_smiley's in town. I haven't seen him since New Year's. This morning, when I left to go Stitch & Bitch with tpau, I forgot to say goodbye. The previous night had just seemed so natural, I forgot that I wouldn't see him again until July - if I was lucky - or September - again, if I was lucky. Going out to dinner with shogunhb, princess_muffin, and him was amazing.

It didn't occur to me at the time, but there was something special going on at dinner last night. It was just the four of us - four WPI people. None of our newer friends, or our older friends, or our (well, their) SOs. It felt so natural, it felt so right, and I miss it so much.
