In the spirit of doing new things we went to see a movie this weekend at the drive-in theater in Newberg. The theater has survived since the 1950's and is still in pretty good working order. It takes about 45 minutes to get there from our house but it was worth the drive.
They were showing a double bill of ParaNorman and The Campaign starring Will Farrell and Zach Galifianakis. The picture quality is not as good as a indoor movie theater, but it is nice to be able to sit back in your car and watch a movie.
The main source of income for the theater is concessions, so don't bring your own food, unless you want to eat healthy. The food at the concession stand would all be featured in a what not to eat advice column from your doctor. That said, the nachos are fine if you eat them fast enough (don't let the cheese cool) and the hot dogs were OK.
In between movies, they play a lot of old commercials and other funny clips. They had a trailer from H R Puff and Stuff that was pretty funny.
If you decide to check out the drive-in you should go early, the box office opens at 6:30 and it sells out pretty fast, and be prepared to wait. There is a long line to get in and once you are in, you have to wait until it gets dark enough to project the movie. It is a good idea to bring something else to help you kill a little time.
