drive in would be ace

you can hire giant screens etc, but they cost $4500 which is a bit much for the 50 people that will turn up

Theres a whole "Guerrilla Drive-in" thing called MobMov, where dudes just put a DVD player and a projector in their car with some FM transmitters and meet up at random places and play movies on the side of a building etc, which is pretty bad ass

http://mobmov.org/manifesto/

might even be something that OS wants to invest in and send it around the country throughout the year to different cities and events for regular drive-ins? or maybe pass the hat around auckland members to raise a little money to buy one for 'regular' drive in events?

I've looked into it before, and happy to nut out some pricing and what gear to use etc if people were keen?

Are their licensing issues with something like that?

Probably not a great idea to get the club involved in potentially illegal activities if yes...

/the weather dependency of drive-in means it would be hard to give everyone enough notice

/the turnout is likely to be average after the first one.

/just go to the one that already exists when it plays a car movie.

Theres only 1 that exists and thats in wellington (permanently), so not keen to go there, and the only other drive in is the one in Tauranga once a year, which is cool, but only once a year. You can get royalty free movies, or there are ways you pay the man some money and watch movies legitimately as well

just to put some numbers on that, to go legit you're looking at 100-300 a movie (depending on what movie it is etc) and often if you email the studio directly and tell them you're getting together with a bunch of mates for a make shift drive in, they are happy to flag the fees

Alternatively, does somebody have a big slab of land with a white house with a large wall with no windows on it where we can slap a projector and all park up in our cars and watch a drive in movie?

 

No? Okay as you were then...
