Comments on: Summer is Officially Here: The Return of Cinespia http://blogging.la/2009/05/12/summer-is-officially-here-the-return-of-cinespia/ Lizard people dude. Seriously.

Waaaaayy to crowded, standing traffic with bummed and angry drivers for blocks and blocks and blocks in both directions. Almost inevitably there's a screaming match and possibly a wimpy fistfight after someone tries to cut in front of the other cars at the gate. On foot there's a humongous bigger-than-Space Mountain-on-the-Fourth of July line of people waiting forever to get in, and then once you finally pass through the gates be ready to run and battle just to get a halfway decent unobscured spot on the lawn. What a stresser. I agree with ejkdreamer, going to Cinespia these days is a major hassle.

They used to be cool, but now there are too many people fighting for too little space. Lately, I prefer the drive-in screenings they do on Friday nights over at the Steve Allen Theater - not overcrowded yet, you can sit in your car to watch the movie, and the director does a Q&A.

Not only could I *finally* make a meet up, but it would be at Cinespia! I have to agree with Jason though. It has gotten crazy busy the last couple summers. Great idea!

I have to agree with Jason though. It has gotten crazy busy the last couple summers.

Stop telling people about this. It's my favorite thing to do in L.A. The last thing I need is a whole new throng of ironic T-shirt-wearing hipsters hipstering up the joint. I'll be there for Dazed & Confused. Damn it, Travis. Stop telling people about this. It’s my favorite thing to do in L.A.
