PARKING LOT: Glendale Sears Parking Lot, 211 W. California Avenue Street, Glendale, CA 91203 

HOW TO:  

Make sure when you purchase your ticket(s), you do the following:

1)PURCHASE AN EARLY BIRD ($23) or DAY OF TICKET ($28) which includes the car fee and the first ticket for the driver.

2) GO TO ADD ONS: Purchase an additional $8 per person ticket for each person after the driver in the car. 

As long as you purchased the EARLY BIRD or DAY OF ticket, you can always pay for additional people in your car at the gate.

3)PRE-ORDER ANY CONCESSIONS OR MOVIE MERCHANDISE you would like from the additional Add-Ons. You can pick up all concessions & merchandise at our table in the middle of the Parking Lot.

To attend, you need  a car with an FM radio or a handheld radio you bring yourself. We will space out cars to make sure folks can safely maintain 6 feet of distance. We ask that folks stay in their cars unless they are picking up concessions or using the restroom. Whenever you are out of your car, you are required to wear a mask for everyone’s safety. 

IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, PLEASE BRING A SMALL OR REGULAR SIZED CAR (sedan sized or smaller). We want to make sure EVERYONE gets a great space. SUVS, TRUCKS, CARS WITH HIGH ROOFS/RACKS/ITEMS ON ROOF often have to be parked further away from the screen to avoid sightline issues.

If you bring a larger car, arrive as near to when we open our gates as possible to get the best possible space.  

We are proud to continue our partnership with ELECTRIC DUSK DRIVE IN (https://www.electricduskdrivein.com) for our Highly Funny Comedies March 2021 series.

Tonight,  we close out our Highly Funny Comedies series with one of the greatest of all buddy stoner comedies: Ice Cube and Chris Tucker in the original FRIDAY.  

FRIDAY caught the world by storm by just being itself.  It follows the adventures (and misadventures) of best friends Craig (Ice Cube) and Smokey (the always hilarious Chris Tucker) who just want to kick it on their porch and smoke bud. But through misunderstanding suddenly find themselves on the bad side of local community bad dude “Big Worm” who tells them they have to pay him $200 by 10pm that night or both of them will be killed.

While that ultimatum definitely drives a lot of the hilarity of FRIDAY what really makes FRIDAY so great is its determination to just show “the neighborhood” and friends as Ice Cube, F. Gary Gray, and others knew it.  In its own way, FRIDAY is a precursor to the BARBERSHOP movies (also starring Ice Cube) which find really funny comedy in just everyday life.

So come join us for our final HIGHLY FUNNY COMEDY of March 2021. Also I love that Ice Cube and I share a name in this one. 

Best always,

Craig Hammill

We can offer refunds up to 24 hours before showtime. Please request a refund through Eventbrite and we will process ASAP. After that, no refunds. Sorry. 

HELPFUL PARKING LOT CINEMA TIPS:

Please make sure you know how to hit off your car headlights before attending. 

Bring warm clothes, blankets, a few layers just in case it gets chilly and you don’t want to run your car the entire movie (although you totally can if you want).

Make sure you know how to work your CAR RADIO so you can TUNE to any frequency you want. 

The earlier you arrive, the better space/closer to the screen you will get! Once you get parked, you can totally leave the lot, go to get food, come back. 

HOW CAN I CONTACT YOU IF I HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS:
