Red Rocks Amphitheater

We came to Denver to visit some of Conner's old friends from Durango, Jena and Dustin.  Oh man, they're awesome.  We planned on being here for a couple days but we've been here a week...still in time to make it to Chicago by the 19th.  They took us by Red Rocks--a natural geologic amphitheater--which is totally free and really beautiful.  It should definitely be the first stop while in Denver.  They have a little museum with a wall of all the people who have performed and it's everyone you can ever think of from The Beatles and Ella Fitzgerald.  It was originally used by the Native American Utes as a spiritual arena until publication editor John Walker purchased the land with money from the sale of his magazine Cosmopolitan in 1906.

Tonight we're all going to see Primus and Gogol Bordello there!  I haven't gone to see a big concert in forever and I'm excited.

Their younger daughter Vada; named after Vada Sultenfuss from the 90's movie My Girl.  I did love that movie.
