Note: This event will sell out, so buy your tickets early. We normally have room for 1850 cars at the drive-in, but between the car show, the vendor area, the car clubs and the stage area, our capacity will be considerably reduced. The key to not missing out is to bUy YoUr TiCkEtS ToDaY!!

How to best enjoy this unique event:
Plan for an all day, all night tailgate party. Camp style canopies and patio umbrellas are welcome but should be taken down prior to movie time. You are welcome to bring your own food and beverage, or buy delicious food from our vendors and snack bar. Small barbeque grills permitted also. Bring LAWN CHAIRS (very important), hats, sunscreen, blankets, a jacket or sweater (it gets cool in the evening) and a boombox style radio (for the movie sound). We will have a water misting station to help keep cool during the day. No glass bottles, no fireworks and no pets, please. Sorry Fido.

DP,
you bet I will be there, the only question is weather or not to stay for the B-movies or go to see Pollo Del Mar, and Insect Surfers at the
Purple Orchid in El Segundo????
I'm really torn there.....

some other sg101ers will be there, and tons of tiki central people too.
I can't believe you haven't seen Slacktone, Davie Allen and the Ghastly Ones.

I was just up in your area last Sun, and Mon. it took me 1 hour to get there, and 1 1/2 hours to get back. Sometimes you act like you live in Vegas

sorry man, just trying to get you to some shows.
