Devil’s Drive-In: A Clockwork Orange
My fave Stanley Kubrick movie, next to The Shining. Gather your droogs for a little bit of the old ultra-violence. And don’t forget to bring your own bottle of booze. Show up via bike, on foot or car. There’s an FM transmitter for your car or comfy astroturf for your bootie. Angel Derby Girls are your car hops bringing you food and popcorn.
