DOWNTOWN DRIVE-IN
SEPTEMBER 3RD, 2008DOWNTOWN DRIVE-INRemember when "parking the car" was tantamount to romance? These days it takes dinner and a good bottle of wine, but tonight the cinephile in us has reason to be easy—the rooftop of the EasyPark at 150 Water Street transforms from paved parkade to downtown drive-in. For three consecutive Wednesday evenings this month, The Gastown Drive In pays homage to our fair city by featuring Canadian full-length and short films shot in Vancouver. Entitled "Vancouver Stars As Itself," the series kicks off tonight with the mockumentary Hard Core Logo. After the screenings, audiences are invited to meet filmmakers at local Gastown haunts The Lamplighter, The Irish Heather and Salt Tasting Room. Car free? Don't fret. Pedestrians and cyclists are free to be easy too. The Gastown Drive In runs September 3, 10 and 17, 2008. Gates at 7:30 p.m., show at 8:30 p.m., admission is free, $6 to park. Reservations for cars are recommended and can be made here. Got something to add to this dose? Post it on our forum! We'll be giving prizes to our best forum posts every month, so just log-in to win!
