Road Trippin’: Memphis to Oklahoma CityFriday, June 27, 2008Three weeks from today I’ll be driving from Memphis to Oklahoma City, the third-longest leg of my trip at seven hours. Three weeks from today The Dark Knight is released. I’m sure you can see my dilemma.
The way I see it, I have three options. I can catch an IMAX screening in Little Rock. The only problem with that plan is that I planned on grabbing lunch with my friend Elton Pruitt while in Little Rock. That, combined with a movie, would be a hug chunk of my day and there’s some great scenic driving en route to Oklahoma I don’t want to miss. So the IMAX thing is probably out. Oh, what’s that? See the IMAX screening in Oklahoma City? I would do that but, you see, there apparently isn’t an IMAX theater in the ENTIRE STATE OF OKLAHOMA. Oh well. There is a pretty cool-looking drive-in, however, that seems to play recent movies. I’m really hoping they have The Dark Knight showing since I’ve never been to a drive-in before. If they’re not showing it, it looks like I’ll be seeing it in some plain-ole Movie Theater. You may call it a wasted night for the road trip but, come on, we’re talking The Dark Fucking Knight here. So, that dilemma aside, what else do I have to look forward to three weeks from today? The William J. Clinton Library in Little Rock, of course. I still have a soft-spot for that old pervert. A statue of Popeye in Alma. The home of Woodie Guthrie in Okemah. A whole lot of scenic driving. And, of course, some OK City attractions such as Flaming Lips Alley where I have to imagine I’ll be able to pick up some LSD.
