Orbit DVD Walk-In Theatre - Time Bandits

It's nearly summer and that means it's time for Orbit DVD's summertime Walk-In Theatre. Each year during the warmer parts, Orbit DVD sets up a little outdoor theatre in their parking lot and projects a cool flick up on the wall for all to view. It's a great way to bring the local film lovers together and have a great time.

This week (the first of the season) they'll be showing Terry Gilliam's TIME BANDITS. Be sure to head out there this Friday and check it out. And also be sure to check out the coolest video store in town. Also be sure to check out Orbit's MySpace page for more info on the store.
