Attention southern-based schlock fiends — here is a sub-cultural event you will not want to miss.  The Starlight Six Drive-In, located in Atlanta, Georgia, will be stag­ing their yearly “Drive Invasion” event on October 10th.  For those not in the know, this event is a cel­e­bra­tion of retro cul­ture than encom­passes a vin­tage car show, a con­cert fes­ti­val and an all-night lineup of gen­uine drive-in movies.

The gates open at 10:00 a.m. and admis­sion is $28 per per­son (kids ages 9 and under get in for $5 each).  Here’s a break­down of what you get for your money: firstly, a mas­sive lineup of bands will be play­ing all day, with an empha­sis on rock­a­billy and other roots rock sounds.  The bands per­form­ing this year include such nota­bles as Jason & The Scorchers and The Fleshtones.  There will also be a car show high­light­ing vehi­cles from 1972 and older: rat, rod, cus­tom and stock cars will all be fea­tured.  When night falls, a lineup of five clas­sic drive-in faves will unspool on the big screen: Billy Jack, Convoy, The Road Warrior, Cleopatra Jones and Stunt Rock!  There will also be trail­ers and short sub­jects, includ­ing The Three Stooges and Mr. Magoo shorts.
