On October 28, Cartoon Network took over LA’s Rose Bowl for a night of Adult Swim, drive-in style.

Wednesday night wasn’t like your grandparent’s night in the drive-in. Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim took over part of the Rose Bowl in Pasadena to throw it back to the bygone experience of the drive-in, but with a modern twist. Sixty lucky cars and their passengers joined hundreds of others chilling in lawn chairs and bean bags to enjoy a night of free food and secret premieres of upcoming Adult Swim programming like Mike Tyson Mysteries, Robot Chicken and more. With food trucks dishing out free grub and trivia prizes like a PlayStation 4, the night was full of winners. Here are 14 lucky attendees who enjoyed the festivities.
