Guerrilla Drive-Ins
An anonymous reader submits "A NY Times story yesterday talked about a new fad sweeping the underground: guerrilla drive-ins. Essentially, someone sets up a DVD player, LCD projector, and wireless transmitter next to any blank wall (preferably on someone else's property - to make it more fun), and people come to watch movies. As you would expect, the movie studios aren't too thrilled." The idea that this is a notable fad reminds of when the residents of Doonesbury's Walden jokingly informed intrepid reporter Roland Burton Hedley, Jr. ("Rollie") about imaginary trends in the college drug scene. On the other hand, anything that knocks down the price of projectors is fine with me!
Drive about 30' behind a semi....now thats road trippin'
I thought most (if not all) DVDs come with a warning about not being used for public performances.
Try not. Do or do not, there is no try.

Hurmph. When I was a kid, we watched shadows on cave walls and we LIKED it.

Che would be proud of all us guerilla drive-in commandos.
If you have to ask, you'll never know.
We used to draw things on slides, and then project them with a slide projector out of our windows, when I was a kid.
We would draw swirfly ligns and project them onto the road at night to confuse cars driving by.
We would also draw funny faces and project it on our neighbours house. He would always open his window and yell at us. We drew the pictures such that him opening the window would be the "animated" part of our picture. I'll leave the themes we chose up to your immagination.

I've always wondered what a drive by shooting is.
I guess it's the opposite to a drive by screening like this one?
Of course, they'd likely be arrested, so... maybe not such a good idea.
(And did anybody else have an image of gorillas in cars when you read the title?)
They say the first thing to go is your penis. Well, it's either that or your brain. I forget which...
This must be in Canada eh? Anywhere else the equipment will get stolen in the blink of an eye eh?
Oh well, what the hell...

This is left as an exercise for the reader.
