It Pays To Return

This morning, on the way out of Flagstaff, I requested we swing past the Orpheus Theatre. Last night I'd intended to get a photo of the sign announcing the Peacemakers show, and promptly forgot to after the giddy haze walking out. (Denise and Katie bolting to the car because it was snowing. These gals don't handle the cold well. [smile] ). Neither really wanted to, I could tell, and generally I go with the flow, but how often do I see the Peacemakers. I needed a photo!

We found the venue so much easier this time. They parked, and I jumped out to take the photos. I'd taken photos of the sign out the front of the theatre, and noticed a flier for the show in the window. At the same time, a woman had walked out of the venue, and we'd said hi to each other in passing. I proceeded to take a photo of the flier, when she asked me if I'd been to the show. I said I had, and when asked if I'd come up from Phoenix from the show, I replied that I had, but I was actually from Australia. As it turned out, she was the owner of the venue. We ended up in a falrly length chat about the show, the Peacemakers and my trip in general (where else I was going etc.). Midway through the conversion, a guy, who I'd assume was her husband came out and chatted also.

Talking about the show, where I was from, and how it was my first show finally after being a fan for so long, he interupted with "I think we've still got a poster from the show inside. Would you like it?". The answer obvious! [smile] This was totally unexpected. When he came out, with a HUGE poster in hand, we chatted more about what I did back home, how long I was staying for, the venue, and the turn out of the show last night - for anyone who is interested, apparently 400 tickets, and 50 and the door. He said how normally the Peacemakers bring in more people, and that the bad weather probably stopped a lot of people driving up from Phoenix.

We talked from a good 15 or 20 minutes, and Katie and Denise were quite curious as to why I had been gone so long, and was walking back with this huge tubular thing.

This made me even more glad that I'd insisted driving back to take the photo. The owners very extremely friendly, and it was great having that long chat that I did with them.

Without further ado, the photos from the Flagstaff trip.

Photos.

I took more on the trip back, though Mr. Burn's windshield was pretty skanky today, which funks up the photos. I just keep them for my private collection at the moment. Unless I can find some state of the art photo software that can remove squashed bugs, butterflies and other wildlife from photos! [smile]
