Has anyone seen or attended this before?? It was forwarded to me - I sent a message to Curtis Parker at Parker Fabrication (the owner of my 74 Chrysler New Yorker 440 Blumo).

Looks like it would be a great opportunity for our Chicago friends to enjoy a day out at the Old Joliet Prison.

* All 2010 Rolling Roadshow screenings are FREE and open to the public.*

Alamo Drafthouse and the Levi's® brand present the 2010 Rolling Roadshow, a nationwide tour of free outdoor 35mm screening experiences pairing famous films with the famous locations where they were shot or set. This year, Alamo Drafthouse and Levi's® have partnered to champion some of cinema's most celebrated workers.

____________________________________..._______________________________

Get ready to follow the hardest working men in show business -- John "Jake" Belushi & Dan "Elwood" Aykroyd -- through Illinois as they fight to save their old Catholic orphanage, dodge the Illinois Nazis, and avoid every form of the law as they put their band back together. This comedy classic will never be equaled, and stands among the most rampaging gutbusters the world has ever seen. With performances by James Brown, Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles, you'll find it absolutely impossible to not sing and dance! So bring somebody to hold, to kiss, to miss, to squeeze and please, and join us for THE BLUES BROTHERS. And remember, they're "on a mission from God."

In remembrance of the time Jake spent in the big house, this screening will take place just outside the walls of Illinois' Old Joliet Prison.

Additional details about this screening will be posted to this page closer to the event.

Want to join us for free cocktails after the screening? Be one of the first 50 to complete the Blues Brothers Gowalla Trip and win two tickets to the party. Blues Brothers | Joliet, IL

Also, here is my 74 in Morton, Illinois now (I just received these pics):

I can tell they are enjoying the car and I am pleased it is being used for a good cause. Enjoy!!

Sounds like it should be a hoot.

Cool pics of your old Chrysler. Great to see the big ol' Blumo still enjoying life!
