Another favorite here of mine was Misery. The acting was superb. The theater itself is very clean and well laid out with some gallery rooms. You can buy drinks and being them into the theater, but they don't sell snacks. They only have two bathrooms so the line at intermission is a little long, but it's bearable since it's a small theater. If you haven't been, I highly recommend checking it out. Very talented performers, pretty art space, and wonderful productions. Also gotta check out the decked out truck in the parking lot, it's a piece of art.

There are just 5 rows and the venue holds under 100 seats. Lighting was good and hearing the 6 performers was good too. The sister Claire ( a alcoholic) was my favorite character. She was most colorful, interesting and entertaining. The play was ' A Delicate Balance' and 3 hours is too long for me. There was an art exhibit in the lobby and easy parking.

I was shoeless with a constant supply of beers and I was dancing about like a hippy. I was very happy to welcome Dave Matthews back to the festival. I thought Weezer was awesome. And, as usual, the headliners were peppered in amongst some great up and coming bands. I am really pleased with the fact that they are holding the festival in August as opposed to July. The temperature for an all day festival was much more pleasant. Next year...Winnebago .

In fact, I had a great time! My fun time had more to do with the people I was with than the festival itself. While I don't have many complaints, the few I do make me wonder if it's worth the dinero next year. So even if you've only met me once you probably know that I don't drink beer. I'm a little Irish girl with a small tummy and a high tolerance for alcohol. Beer fills me up too fast before I even get a buzz, not to mention I don't like the taste of it. Anything else is fair game; vodka, tequila, rum, gin, Mike's, cider, absinthe, moonshine, scotch, brandy, and my favorite Jameson. So tell me why I can't bring any of this in with me when I can't find any of it inside the festival. We did end up finding 2 cocktail stands in the far corners. Even at the beer tents there was only beer offered....none of those delish girly malt beverages. WTF? I know it's a huge festival and everyone is coming for different reasons. Though I don't know why you wouldn't shut up for Tool, the real question is why can I hear you talking over them? It's not like I'm in the back and no one else is playing on another stage. It should be so loud I can't hear myself talk or think about anything besides how great the music is. Like I said, not bad for the second go round of the fest but they need to improve on these few but instrumental aspects (pun intended). Hopefully next year will be even better!

This was a good event, but could be way better…read more Taken simply on the quantity, quality and assortment of bacon-themed dishes and beer, this was a 5-star event, and well worth the money. So great concept. Unfortunately, the event was sorely lacking in execution making it, especially the first couple hours, frustratingly disorganized and downright unpleasant. First, while I like Exdo, I feel the space was just too small for the number of vendors and attendees, or they just made poor use of what space there was. It was a moshpit-like nightmare getting around the room. Either you were bumping into someone or being bumped into, it was impossible to find any personal space--Unless you stood outside, and that meant you weren't getting any bacon or beer. Second, there was little to no signage of the various food booths. So, you were forced to simply wander around (excuse me, excuse me, excuse me) until you got within 3 feet of a food booth to realize where you might get some more. Same with beer. Perhaps next year they should encourage attendees to cry out "Marco" and vendors to respond "Polo". Or, put flags or hang signs or something. Wow, that's so crazy it just might work. Oh, the same goes for the impossible to locate trash cans. Finally, there was poorly managed traffic flow-- Which likely was an effect of the afore-mentioned issues. If they were smart they would have set up some sort of corral system or something at each booth to make it clear how to walk up, get your bacon or beer, and then get out. Instead of making it the unpleasant free-for-all mess that it was. But bottom line the food was amazing, and the beer was typical Colorado good. If you're more patient than I you'll likely have a good time and feel good about the value.

From there to Macky is a 10 minute walk in nice weather. There has not been new snow since the cleanup a couple of days ago. We had tix to the College of Music's Holiday Festival and what a joyous musical celebration it was. We had gone a few times decades ago and decided to skip it for a while. But now it's a truly inclusive holiday program with incredible student faculty talent and as well as modern technology for lighting, sound and visual screen displays. In the past it seemed a bland Christmas only music program. We had decent seats in Orchestra Right with a few short people like us and some no-shows in the row in front of us. Just lucky I guess as the place was packed and most of the shows completely sold out. The venue is beautiful and seats about 2000 in classic design and well maintained. No recordings or photos allowed during the program. There were hundreds of student in the instrumental groups as well as vocal choirs. There were two conductors splitting the performances, one a man and for us, the first time a woman conductor though she said this was her 8th year in the program. Both were excellent. The student groups too, had lots of talent, from the Jazz singers and instrumentalists to the various choir groups. The bassoon ensemble did a great performance of a collection of Nutcracker pieces backed up with choreographed videos of nutcracker drawings. There was a beautiful rendition of This Little Light of Mine by members of the University Choir with solos by a terrific tenor. There was also a reading of The Night Before Christmas and a little boy in the row in front of us fell asleep. We had left at the end before he woke up and realized it was not yet Christmas. There was a Klezmer group led by a clarinetist with untalented singers and dancers. There was also a West African Ensemble leading an uplifting piece of music with the University Choir and incredible lighting and special effects. The program ended with a traditional Handel's Messiah with audience participation for the Hallelujah Chorus. I am so glad we went and so proud of CU for having such a more matured and talented Holiday program than we had ever seen before.

There was a small section near the front, with some handicapped and regular spots. So we parked there, wondering if they don't get a big crowd because there were only a few spots. Apparently you park before you get to the building, the lot we parked in usually goes to the older folks. Lesson learned. We saw RFK there, a one-man show about Bobby Kennedy. I was a little dubious about it, but the actor did a fantastic job! It kept my attention and I learned quite a bit. James got a standing ovation from all of us there. I don't know how he memorized all those lines. The theater itself is really cute, the doors to the stage/seating are really memorable. They also offered coffee, wine, other drinks, and all kinds of little snacks. The glass of wine was $5. And you can bring it inside with you while you watch. The seats were not super comfortable, but they were more comfortable than most other theaters. This is key when you're sitting down for 2+ hours. They were very low to the ground though, like sitting on a kid's trainer potty. Not sure how the older folks got up and down since it meant squatting a little low. This brings me to the audience. I'm not sure if it was the play subject matter, or the theater, or just the culture of theater in general, but we were the youngest people there by far. It didn't bother me at all, but the age gap was pretty noticeable. It made me want to write a stellar review about this little theater to get more young people to come appreciate it!! I saw that Monty Python's Spamalot will be coming through this year. And guess who's going? This girl. And maybe you??

The play was called The Women of Lockerbie and I was blown away by how good it was. The writing, directing, and set all hit their marks, but the acting was simply transcendental.

I hate when I feel like I'm being manipulated emotionally and this performace was able to bring me along for the ride without that feeling of being used. This play is only open another week, so if you want to see it you better hussle up to Evergreen!

He's a huge history buff so we went all out on buying a suit and accessories for him, a dress and accessories for me, plus the time and effort putting it all together. I don't know if this is how it is every year and I'm aware it was sold out, but for what we paid we felt pretty let down. First, I'm disabled and nobody knew where to tell us to park for ADA parking, we had to ask 5 people and make 2 circles before someone directed us somewhat correctly. And a guy in a hi-vis vest basically told us to park where we were at which wasn't super accessible but we made it work. I'm not wheelchair bound yet but it was a good walk from where we parked. There seemed like there was no planning for ADA parking. I couldn't imagine having to navigate that area in a wheelchair or even with a cane. Upon entry, we noticed the crowds and how tight it was trying to walk around there. You were bumping into people everywhere you turned. There were booths to sell things in a portion of the area and even that was crowded. And it didn't seem like there were very many of them. And you pretty much had to wait in line to get to the booth and actually go in or see their offerings. Every single thing from the atm, to drinks, to photos with planes or scenes, had a line of at least 50-75 people, or more in some instances, often times having multiple long lines for things like each side of the planes or alcoholic drinks. Or lines for drink tickets to go stand in another line for drinks. We opted out of drinking after seeing the process. Even if you bought drink tickets in advance, you'd have had a really long line. And then lines were running into other lines, and in the middle of the line about every 15 minutes they had to split the crowds to get their little trash carts around. We tried to walk around to things but everything was so full there was no room to enjoy it, couldn't even find room on the dance floor or anywhere near that stage. The other dance area in the hangar was packed full and you couldn't get in. We were able to find a spot to stand and hear a few Hawaiian songs, the group was really good. Afterwards we got a few pictures and decided maybe the lines would die down if we grabbed dinner. When we found the dining area the tables and chairs were basically squished together so badly that you couldn't get to the only available seating. I don't know who set this thing up but the tables were set up where there was maybe 2 ft of room between each of them, add some folding chairs on each side of this narrow isle and people and you're practically on top of one another. After standing around and looking for 15 minutes we finally found 2 spots, having to climb over 3 people to get there. It took about 10 minutes at the atm, another 30 for 2 lemonades, and another 30 for 2 burgers. By this time we were less than impressed but we were keeping our seats and waiting for the advertised flyover at 735ish. By 830 it still had never happened. We never even knew why it didn't happen, if there was an announcement, it was not audible. It was still on the website as a scheduled activity at 730. It was a big disappointment especially since it was one of the reasons why my fiancé wanted to go. It was getting dark and they started the "drive in movie" which was just short clips, like trailers, for everything Bob Hope had ever been in. No actual movie at least while we were there before we gave up and left. We got one single picture of us with one plane. That line only had like 10 people. We Didn't get to dance, didn't get to do any of the other activities, and I feel cheated after spending a total of almost $700 between the tickets, food, clothes, and accessories. I'm really glad I didn't spend money to get my hair or makeup done. It's like somebody thought "how many people can we cram in here for at least $100 each?" Like did vendors or certain activities bail out? Like is this how this event is? Looking around we weren't the only people who looked miserable. It wasn't a "Ball", it was like a crammed flea market with 20 booths a few classic cars and armed forces equipment and a few planes and long lines everywhere to see it more than in passing. It felt thrown together and seemed like we paid $200 to stand in line for dinner and to watch some movie trailers from the 1940s.
