A Concert in Salt Lake

Took the Twins to Salt Lake City for a concert:

Iron Maiden - The Future Past World Tour 2024!

Quite an enjoyable trip. The Twins were pretty impressed. So were their parents!

Iron Maiden came to Casper back in 1983. June 21st, to be exact. 

Alas, I was a wee bit young away back then.

My brother, Brandel, sure remembers!

What a setlist!

Iron Maiden shall mark its 50th anniversary on Christmas Day this year. 

Wishing Harris and all his mates all the best! 

Perhaps we'll attend again at Malahide Caste in Ireland!

 

Up The Irons!

P.S. - 

As I was writing this today, I saw that Paul Di'Anno has died.

Fraught Tales and Cocktails - A Poe Speakeasy

Friday the 13th, and my wife and I attended a speakeasy experience in downtown Casper, at the Odd Fellows Building. There on an upper floor, resides an old theatre, which I never knew existed. We witnessed upon the stage four fraught tales...accompanied by four cocktails:

The Tell-Tale Heart - The Pale Blue Eye

The Black Cat - Edgar's Twisted Brandy Milk Punch -- my favourites, both the performance and the drink

The Raven - The Nevermore

The Masque of the Red Death - Cocktail of Red Death

Quite an enjoyable evening, all the way through the ride home!

 

If ever the opportunity arises, be sure to attend.

MX Missle Alert

Visited the Missile Alert Facility north of Cheyenne.

Surreal. Completely surreal.

Indeed, quite the experience.

Whether you lived through the missile crises of the 80s or not, visiting the facility, a shell of what it once represented, is highly recommended.

The Devil's Slide

Slid past this devilishly interesting geological feature on our way to Utah.

So, we decided to stop by on our way back.
