Friday night date throwback!

Last night.. butter and I joined a few friends for the Trader Vic's party at the Starlight Drive In!!
The theme?
Salute to the Beach Party!
But first, the party before the beach party.. This place was ROCKIN! there was a live band and people were cooking out.


cars decorated in the tiki fare and some even brought out the candleabras!




also to really kick it up there was a live band that performed until the sun went down!



Butter had tricked out the SUV to make it drive in ready!



Lots and lots of fun beach party era movie trailers!

Butter had NEVER been to a drive in before.. so this was all a new experience for her.. She had so much fun she wants to go back tonight! don't know if that will happen but we definitely are going to make it out there more often. One weekend a year they have an all weekend event called
DRIVE INVASION!!
There are bands, a car show, appearances by B-movie celebrities, vendors, hula dancers and loads of fun!
Trader Vic's (or trailer vic's as they were calling it last night) were serving drinks in bamboo shoots that looked like cups.. we simply HAD to get one as a souvenir!
it was a little dark and hard to get a picture but here is the big screen!



and here we are enjoying the show.. not a great shot I know.. but hey it's hard to take pictures of yourself!!



It was a FABulous date.. and the crowd was much larger than I expected, and it was a quite diverse crowd at that.. families, goths, gays, rednecks, gypsies, tramps and thieves....:)
We didn't stay all the way through the second show though.. the second feature.. "white savage" just wasn't appealing to us..
but.. scary movie and date movie will be next on our drive in date card! If you have a drive in near you make it a date with the one you love!
