Hey Gang!! Let's Go Back To The Drive-In!
For A Family-Friendly Night Out!

BUELLER ... BUELLER, FERRIS BUELLER...

Please join Maria AKA BustAGroove and the Eclectic Cinema Fanatics for a unique, tail-gaiting movie experience with Matthew Broderick, and the rest of the cast from the original "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" at a quasi drive-in movie theatre: Angel City Drive-In. Gates open at 7:00 pm and showtime starts at 8:30 pm. Advance ticket sales end on May 23, 2009 at 2:00 pm or when the drive-in has presold 60 tickets.

Plot: "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is one of the Best 50 High School Movies (as rated by Entertainment Weekly) and a 1986 comedy film written and directed by John Hughes. It stars Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck, Mia Sara, Jeffrey Jones and Jennifer Grey.

The film follows high school senior Ferris Bueller who, one spring day decides to skip school and spend the day in downtown Chicago. Accompanied by his girlfriend Sloane Peterson and his best friend Cameron Frye, he creatively avoids his school's Dean of Students, Mr. Edward Rooney, his resentful sister Jeanie, and his parents. During the film, Broderick occasionally stops and speaks to the camera to explain to the audience his character's techniques and thoughts.

There are two areas where we can take in all the totally rad Buellerisms:

• On the Astroturf in front of the 23-foot screen; or
  
• In the warmth of our own rides.
  

You might see kiddies running around the lot in their PJ's. It's common for Angel City moviegoers to sit outside their cars in picnic/patio chairs or in the rear hitches of trucks or SUVs. Most are impressed with Angel City Drive-In's execution of their monthly events. Angel City Drive In has:

• Trash cans AND recycling bins;
  
• A radio transmitter so you could listen with an FM radio receiver;
  
• Inexpensive food and drinks;
  
• Bathrooms; and
  
• Air screen background surface instead of a white wall
  

Angel City's drive-in car hops will rock, skate, roll, bounce as they take our orders and deliver food from the concession stand. You can order hot dogs, nachos, and any other candy for $3 or less. Drinks are $1 each.

We strongly recommend CARPOOLING for members who live close to each other so that we'll have a better chance to park close as a group. Please specify if you're willing to transport folks or if you need a ride to the event!
