It’s a banger week!

Three completely different groups of people will be at the drive-in this weekend.

The nostalgic.

The inappropriate.

And the traumatized.

Some of you are all three.

⚠️ PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT ⚠️

If you’re looking for a sweet little family movie…

You have made a terrible mistake.

You have made a terrible mistake.

If you clutch your pearls, write angry Facebook comments, or believe every movie should teach a valuable life lesson…

You have made a terrible mistake.

If you think a movie can be “too inappropriate”…

You have definitely made a terrible mistake.

The rest of you know exactly why you’re here.

Don’t forget every Sunday is $20 carload night.

Don’t forget every Sunday is $20 carload night.

Don’t forget every Sunday is $20 carload night.

Anyway…

Every Sunday is $20 carload night.

Bring the whole car.

Double feature.

Legally, please.
Safety is always the first and most important thing. We don’t need anybody getting no dang tickets now.

🚨TALES FROM THE LOT: THE JEDI, THE BEER & THE BUFFET🚨

Over the last few weekends, we’ve learned two things:

1. We love you people.
2. We absolutely cannot leave you unattended.

Let’s start with the beer bandits.
A few kids thought they had the perfect plan. Hide a six-pack by a tree and come back for it later.

Unfortunately, Tyson found it first.

Now most people would’ve just taken the beer.

Not Tyson.
Tyson waited.

Like a Kansas game warden watching a deer feeder.

Sure enough, the kid came back.

Tyson took off running.
The kid took off running.

The beer “CON-FI-SCAT-ED ” IYKYK

Final score:
Kid: 0 beers.
Tyson: 6 beers.

Speaking of things that got left behind…

A lightsaber was recovered in the lot.

Somewhere out there is a Jedi who is about to get absolutely wrecked by the Dark Side because he can’t keep track of his equipment.

May the Force be with him.
Because his lightsaber won’t be.

Then we discovered what appeared to be possibly, maybe, not sure, a broken balloon.

Next to it?
A bottle cap.

Now we’re not investigators.

We don’t know if the bottle was involved.

We don’t know if somebody needed a little extra liquid confidence.

We don’t know exactly what happened.

But if a little Carl or Brenda shows up in about nine months, we’ve got a working theory.

Not Brian though.
That would just be cruel.

Now let’s discuss the buffet.

Folks…
We have seen snacks.
We have seen a full dinner.
A crockpot

What we just witnessed was a full-blown buffet.

Blanket over the trunk.
Containers everywhere.
Side dishes.
Desserts.

Enough food to survive a Kansas winter.

At one point we thought Golden Corral had opened a second location.

If you missed the spread, you missed the spread.

And finally…
To the person who stuffed the men’s urinal completely full of toilet paper:

Why? It was
Not clogged.
Not overflowing.
Stuffed.

Like you were trying to hide evidence?

We have questions.
But mostly why.

Anyways, if you missed the buffet this weekend, don’t worry.

We’re thinking all-you-can-eat crab legs next weekend.

Bring your own butter?

What could possibly go wrong?

A few questions we’ve been getting today as the rain rolls across Kansas:

Yes, we’re still playing Spaceballs tonight. Movies are rain or shine at the drive in. We only close for significant weather that creates a safety issue, such as dangerous lightning, or tornadoes.

Also, if you’ve noticed the time change, gates now open at 7 PM as the sun is staying up a little later this time of year.

Another common question we have been asked is. Can you leave during the movie? Absolutely. We just ask that you drive slowly, watch for pedestrians, and be courteous to other guests as you exit.

And a quick shoutout to our friends at Drive-In Theatre in Abingdon, Virginia. We love seeing other drive-ins keeping this tradition alive.

See you tonight for Spaceballs. Rain or shine.

Huge shout out to Slechta Enterprises for putting up with us every single weekend… especially when our trash looks like this.

We appreciate you guys more than you know.

And don’t forget this Thursday we’re playing Spaceballs. Come laugh with us.
