View Full Version : Drive in? LMS 08-12-2006, 05:12 PM Anyone know of a decent drive in theatre around here? We wanna go see Taladega Nights and that 9/11 movie but brendan just doesn't do theatres :( lmfike 08-12-2006, 05:14 PM Closest drive in I've been to up here in N CA is up in Lakeport. I don't know of any others. S CA had several when we left there 4 yrs ago. JeriAnne 08-12-2006, 05:50 PM I think that Concord has one, but that is a long drive. JeriAnne 08-12-2006, 05:51 PM http://roadsidepeek.com/roadusa/southwest/california/nocal/nocaldrivein/index.htm I found that on google. Wow, and after looking at the site further it seems that many have closed. Good luck! lmfike 08-12-2006, 05:59 PM From searching I found three in Sacramento area that seem to be still open. I found them by doing search for California Drive Ins jellybeanmichelle 08-12-2006, 06:21 PM I thought there was one in Union City or something like that. daisydoc 08-12-2006, 09:25 PM No drive-ins close.... Alternative: the movie theaters in Sebastopol and Sonoma have sound proof viewing rooms available to parents with little ones. Have to reserve it; first come first sevre; only in the two large theaters in Sebastopol so you have to call and check to see which movie is playing in the theater with the room; there's no extra charge. their ph number is 829-3921. BOx office opens at 11am I think. That's when a real person will answer the phone! :) LMS 08-12-2006, 09:29 PM anna, i'm SO excited about that. Do you wanna go catch a movie with us while my friend heather is in town? Lynette 08-12-2006, 09:31 PM Thanks so much for reminding me of this Anna! There have been so many movies I would like to see but we are always trying to figure out who wants to see a movie the MOST so someone can stay home with Alaina. Do they pipe in the sound or something into the room? The Airport Theater was doing something called Wee Ones Wednesday in the morning for parents with kids so no one would yell at you for having a loud kid since they were everywhere but I dunno if they are still doing it?

Well I hardly think they would be showing any 9/11 based movies at something called "wee ones wednesdays" :) LMS 08-12-2006, 11:03 PM Thanks so much for reminding me of this Anna!

I think that's an awesome idea. Lynette 08-12-2006, 11:43 PM Lisa- LOL! I didn't think of that <g> I think their purpose is to still show grown up movies (chick flicks not action stuff) because I saw a list once and they weren't kid movies, I think the highest rating was PG-13 so kids don't end up in therapy or anything :) becky 08-13-2006, 12:53 AM We have resorted to NetFlix for our movies. My aunt has come up a few times to visit and has watched the girls so we could go out. A few weeks ago we went to see Clerks 2 and had a great time; just the two of us. Other than that movie nights are now at home after the kids go to bed so we can watch the good stuff other wise we have to limit the TV viewing to PG or PG-13 depending on the flick. LMS 08-13-2006, 08:50 AM yeah, we've done netflix for about 2 year s(with a small break in service about a year ago when we moved) and like it, but i really wanna go OUT to movie... not to mention see a new release when it's actually still a new release LOL daisydoc 08-13-2006, 09:34 AM When my parents watched the kids last weekend so James I could out we Saw Pirates of the Caribean: Dead Man's Chest. The last movie before thta we saw in a theater wsa Red Dragon... obviously before kids! LOL Lynette: the rooms are small and have like 6 seats in them. I have yet to go but my friend did and she said the sound and pic look/sound the same as being in the big room. You view the pic through the large window and the sound is piped in. Best part... you don't have to listen to anyone and they don't have to yell at you if your kid cries! Jackie: I would love to!!! Let's plan on it! |
