Dish Night

Many of Shep's stories involved going to the Orpheum to see a movie. Sometimes it was on a Blind Date and others it was for "Dish Night". There really was an Orpheum in Hammond and they had a "Dish Night" and played "Screeno"

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
