I loved the offbeat movies played at the Wilshire. In 1970 I was a student at Troy High School. My friends and I went to see Reefer Madness, and smuggled come cheap champaign in. As they were checking for contraband at the door, I shoved it down my Levi’s, upside down. As I climbed to stairs to the balcony in the dark, the cork blew, shot down my leg and the champaign soaked my Levi’s. But… I was able to pull it out before it fully drained. We drank the half bottle remaining.
