  I agree!!  When I was a kid, wew used to play "kick the can" until "late" 
(10:00) and a Star Wars movie premeire was a major deal! The theatre was huge 
and old fashioned with curtains and everything.  It was beautiful!  But we 
have the ultra-modern ten plex now.  I love it, but its just not the same.  
We live in an awwesome neighborhood, but I don't think I'd let my kiddos play 
outside until 10:00, not wiothout me, anyway!  I need to get a game of "kick 
the can" started this summer.  The exact rules escape me.  Anyone else 
remember it?
