Digital Cinema at the Drive-In

Of all the demos I've been invited to recently, here's the one I'd most like to attend (but can't): NEC's demo of their Starus NC2500S, which they call the "world's brightest projector with DLP CInema technology from Texas Instruments," later this month at the Transit Drive-In in Lockport, NY (close to Buffalo). They say the NEC digital projector can actually deliver a brighter and higher-resolution picture outdoors than a traditional 35-millimeter projector.

They'll be showing `The Chronicles of Narnia,' along with "some familiar drive-in material," which I presume means ads for the concession stand featuring dancing hot dogs.
