Back to the Drive-in in 2020?

In 2020 when all of the cinemas, music venues and football stadiums closed because of the Covid 19 virus, it was the drive-ins, or in the case of the Brisbane area ... the drive-in, which opened first -

And then the Brisbane Broncos football club had the brilliant idea of turning their club car-park into a drive-in to watch their return 2020 season match against the Parramatta Eels.
Now that was a horror show I would have loved to have watched from my car when the Parramatta Eels slaughtered the Broncos again:-)
Better still would have been the coming attraction to that drive-in of the Roosters vs Broncos, where the Roosters would win 59-0.

Of course, the Queensland newspaper had to
 laugh up another Sharks drug scandal

Now Russell Morris, who is famous for singing 'The Real Thing' has come up with the drive-in concert to be held at the Cleveland Showgrounds on Saturday the 13th of June, 2020.

Just What is "The Real Thing" Anyway?

I hate to rain on Russell's parade, but ...

I was going to buy a ticket to Russell's drive-in concert for all the nostalgic reasons, as I used to play football at, and go to the Cleveland Showgrounds for the annual Strawberry Festival when I was a kid, but it looks like rain is forecast all weekend, so I'll save my $49 for a rainy day, and give it a miss:-)

On the subject of "the real thing", the last movie I saw at the drive-in was 'Jumanji: The Next Level', with my eldest son - 
Hypnotic Regression and Jumanji: The Next Level?

A week ago I asked my two sons if they were interested in seeing 'Jaws' at the drive-in, which was a one night only screener for June the 5th, 2020.
One son had to work that night, and one wasn't interested, so I was going to go by myself, but with admission being $35+$1.50 booking fee, and then having to pay for food on top of that, I pulled out in the last hour and stayed home.
Ironically, part of my motivation for not going was I had received an email earlier from Bluesfest telling me they were trying to raise $25,000 for a prosthetic leg for an Indigenous dancer, who I had seen dance down there before at the festival, so I threw the $50 I would have paid to the drive-in into the fund for a prosthetic leg for Jungala (Uncle Pete).

Ironically, on the Sunday after the 'Jaws' screening a surfer got killed by a shark biting the surfer's leg off,
according to early reports, at a beach not really all that far (as far as the crow flies that is) from the drive-in.

Maybe I'll just stick to viewing the tamer movies until the cinemas open again.
That's if I can remember what nights they are playing:-)
