Thanks Ken, that does explain a lot. There is actually a radio station at 88.9 in the Boston area. ;D I think it is Emerson College... I used to listen to it when I lived near there.

Well, if you like the drive-in and want to recreate some of that feeling, try setting up a Backyard Theater! Your friends showing off their 50 inch widescreen plasma? Well mine is over 21 feet diagonal! Amazing what you can do with an ebay projector, a DVD player, some pipe, a tarp, and a 20 year old stereo.
I figure BYOACers might be interested.

Our local drive-in (less than two miles from my work) just installed brand new digital projectors, and boy do they look amazing. For the longest time I avoided seeing movies with high budget special effects at the drive-in because of their ancient projectors, but now I don't have to skimp on the trips to the Starlite at all this summer. I had no complaints with the quality of PotC and Spiderman 3. If only they hadn't removed the playground equipment from in front of the screens . . .

I would totally love to either open one or buy 1 for sale after retiring from my current job. That would be Heaven for me.
