The year is 2003. It’s a Friday which means one thing – movie night. You are buckled into the Goldfish crumb-crusted booster seat in the back of a ’95 Honda Civic with a power steering leak. 50 Cent’s “In da Club” blasts over the radio as you pull into the parking lot of your local, chain Video rental store. You are permitted to select ONE movie. The carpet is sticky and the staff is unhelpful and rude. Among the disorganized shelves, you find it – the movie all your friends are quoting, Mel Brooks’ Robin Hood: Men in Tights. The sticker on the cover reads “PG-13.” Your heart races as you slide the VHS tape onto the counter. Your exhausted parent doesn’t seem to notice. The handheld scanner beeps and the disgruntled teenaged employee slides the tape into a plastic bag. Third grade is gonna be YOUR year, baby!
Tragically, many of today’s youth will never know how good we used to have it. BUT you can give them the next best thing! From the mind of Chico Eastridge comes Video Stop II: Bad Video! Visit this pop up VHS store/ art installation December-January, in the back of JAM to rent movies on VHS like the good ol’ days! Don’t have a way to play it? No problem! VHS players are also available for loan.
Open when we feel like it.
