The REAL Indiana Jones probably has a copy of the current AARP Magazine, several packets of Sweet N' Low purloined from Denny's and a tube Schmeckly's Mercuricome in his satchel.
My friend Eileen says that the reason I've been so obsessed with drive-in movie theaters is because my parents never took me to one as a kid. She's probably right. She usually is.
Reportedly my older sisters went to the drive-in but I have no memory of it. The first time I remember going to the drive-in theater was with Eileen and I think it was the summer before college. I remember eating dried apricots and some kind of warm pop while watching a bad movie with a Cheap Trick song on the soundtrack.....
My friend Alice and I were in grad school together in the late 80's outside Detroit. We ended up photographing drive-in movie theaters throughout the midwest as well as brief trips to various other spots. We always said we were going to write a book but we never did. I just dug out the slides I have though and man, there were some great drive-ins!!! It's been twenty years so of course many of these are gone I'd love to hear from anyone if they have drive-in anecdotes or know if any of these are still around. I took some of the photos, Alice took some---I'll do the Lennon/McCartney things and just list us both on all of them. She can always switch the order of names after I die.
That's awesome. We're ridiculously excited about the new movie. We loved Indiana Jones growing up.

Owen looks fantastic - just like Indy! At least he has clothes on. My son wanted to be "the naked version". Ah, boys...

is that your backyard? I love all that grass. It looks like a fun place to play and relax.

Well, THIS Indiana Jones likes to stock a hot dog for each journey, his whip, his gun (sigh) and a thermos of lemonade in his satchel....
