So, when I went to Red Rocks in September, due to tailgating (partying, not driving) before each show, I never got into the venue early enough to buy one of the limited edition (1100 printed) posters for the venue before they sold out. I never even got to see what one looked like. Since returning from Colorado, I’ve checked on ebay nearly every day to see if anybody was selling one. All I ever found was a 1993 Red Rocks poster for the Samples and their supporting acts including the Tragically Hip and DMB being sold for $150.00 US. Yesterday, I finally found a 2005 DMB Red Rocks poster. It’s being sold by someone in Potomac, Maryland for $325.00 US. $325.00! Anyway, I finally got to see it, and it sucks! The best thing I can say about it, is that it’s only for the first 3 nights, as the fourth night was announced too late for me to change my flight, therefore I did not attend. So, it turns out, I don’t even want it. Now that, is anti-climactic.

On another, but related, note, I received my Complete Weekend On The Rocks package from Virginia last night. It's the 8 CD, 1 DVD, 1 T-Shirt, 1 Calendar Red Rocks pre-order extravaganza I bought a very long time ago. It's fucking brilliant, just beautiful! I only had time to watch most of the DVD, and on the final pan of the crowd at the end of Jimi, I spotted myself! Very exciting stuff. Can't wait to hear the shows again!
