So, I won a contest on Twitter yesterday and got a tour of Red Rocks Amphitheater’s backstage area before a screening of great stupid movie Super Troopers. One of the writer/actors involved was there (the “meow” guy) and we got some photos and got to schmooze onstage while a band was playing.

Yeah, that’s me in one of I think four green rooms. Cavernous in every sense of the word.

The tour culminated with a gander at the walls of the tunnel that leads from the backstage area to the soundboard area in front of the stage, underneath the crowd.

Artists write their names on the wall in this stairwell if they’ve played onstage at Red Rocks. There were too numerous acts I found I couldn’t take a whole lot of pictures. A who’s who, as it were, of rock and popular music.

I could spend *hours* in that little tunnel underneath @RedRocksOnline. Here’s The Purple One. pic.twitter.com/vicbnI0sIs
