Starlite update
"We can rebuild him. We have the technology. Better . . . stronger . . . faster."
I received an update about the Starlite this morning, my first in a while.
The material that was applied to the screen this weekend turned out not to be suitable for projection. Bob received some bad advice. it will be removed and used to build the back of the screen.
The correct material has been determined and a small amount put up yesterday. Apparently, it reflects beautifully. The new surface is scheduled to be applied next Monday, and Bob has a tentative date of Saturday, August 13th to re-open to the public.
Somewhere along the line, Bob decided to go with corrugated metal rather than plywood. The old screen was made of plywood, but a metal surface will be far more durable and will look a heck of a lot better.

Good news, thanks. Bad for me as I have a schedule conflict for the 13th, but great it's finally reopening.

Excellent! I do believe a visit in my new open-top car would be in order...

Hooray! There will still be good drive-in weather left in the season.
