Heavy Metal Parking Lot
On Friday, we popped over to the AFI Silver Theatre to catch the 25th anniversary showing of Heavy Metal Parking Lot. The 17 minute video was shot in the parking lot of the Capital Centre before a Judas Priest concert in 1986, and for anyone who remembers that era, and especially for those with fond memories of the Pringle chip-roofed arena with the delightfully affectatious European spelling of "Center," it is a perfect snapshot of those times.
As a bonus, they'd rounded up some of the people actually featured in the film, who appeared on stage in their much older forms. Also screened was "Heavy Metal Picnic," a documentary about a field party in Potomac Md, which is essentially a 90 minute sequel -- about 45 minutes too long, unless perhaps you were in the movie, which it seemed like about 3/4 of the audience had been.
