E.T. at Red Rocks

Every Monday night Red Rocks amphitheater plays a classic movie.  This week it was E.T.  (the movie is still as badass as ever).  We weren't allowed to bring the Nikon into the theater but here are some shots that we got outside in the parking lot:  





Getting to see the movie, again, was a huge fiasco.  We tried to bring in beer, waited in line, saw people getting sent back to their cars after being found out and ultimately sat on the rear bumper of the Honda, eating sandwiches and drinking beers tailgate style before we went in.

When we finally got to the front of a long line, our self-titled "print at home" tickets seemed to be, well, useless.  We had to go back to our car, DRIVE to the main entrance/ticket office, get new tickets issued and drive BACK, now, in the pouring rain, to a different, farther parking lot.

However we finally made it in, found good seats and the rain left us alone.




All in all it was a cool experience.  Red Rocks seems amazing as a venue and I would love to see some musicians play there.  It is small enough that you can never be THAT far away from the stage and the acoustics are ridiculous.  The bass moves the whole place.

  1. Those photographs are quite stunning! You really should think carefully about becoming a nature photographer! The way you are able to capture light is impressive.

    Thank you for continuing to keep us updated on your adventure!
