I didn’t see a show but walked around in there last summer. Couldn’t agree more. There’s something explainable and surreal about that place. You could feel it.

I knocked two out this last year:
-climb a 14’er
- see blink 182 with the “original” lineup.

I fall asleep now before the first one gets to the bed.
Blow me. Next you’ll tell me you, for some odd reason, get a headache every day at 9pm.
I wanna go a lot of places around the world but my #1 bucket list is Lord Howe Island.
Lord Howe Island, Australia | Just Paradise
Lord Howe Island is Just Paradise. Immerse yourself in the spectacular surroundings, experience beaches, hiking, the coral reef and more!lordhoweisland.info
That looks similar to where we went on our honeymoon - Yasawa Island in Fiji - https://yasawa.com/
This one is super remote, there are only 18 (iirc) little huts just off the beach so there are never more than like 40-50 guests on the entire island (there are locals who live on the other side of the island - don't think they even have electricity in their villages). We took a six seater plane from the mainland to Yasawa, I was co-pilot and we landed on a grass runway. Best experience of my life, and it's not close.
We won the trip through a Williams-Sonoma wedding sweepstakes, could have never afforded it ourselves.
I've been lucky enough to travel to a lot of Europe. There are still some on my list.
Sweden, Denmark, Norway - thinking a Baltic trip when my kids are older (6-8 range).
Scotland and Irish countryside - wife wants to go to Scotland really badly so I'm guessing this one might be first on our list.
Spain and Portugal - I've only been to Barcelona... I'd like to experience more of the Iberian Peninsula.
Closer to home.
Alaska and the Pacific North West are on my list of to go.

If you like history... London is the place.
At St. Paul's you can stand basically within feet of Nelson, Churchill, and Wellington's graves simultaneously. It's remarkable.
Fulfilled one this summer -Golf in Ireland. Did 11 courses in 6 days (36 per day) -including Royal County Down and Royal Portrush (Open was there in 2019 and again in 2025). 8 of us, walking almost all of it (very few buggies over there to rent unless you have a medical card. Weather was probably ideal, though every day saw some rain and wind, Ardglass clubhouse was from 1450 or so and overall lots of awesome views along the Irish Sea and some nasty par 3's in gusty conditions. Can't wait to watch the pros try to best my 94 at Portrush in '25 (with a 9 on the opening par 4).
Red Rocks has to be tnear the top of the next major bucket list
Red Rocks has to be tnear the top of the next major bucket list
I go to the UK 4-5 times a year for work. London is great and I enjoy my time working and visiting there. But the rest of the UK is so interesting. I’ve travelled to all corners of England and eastern Wales and none of it disappoints.
If you go back spend 3 days to properly do London but spend a week using the train system and stay in rooms above pubs in the rural areas. You won’t regret it!
I once spent 2 hours just reading the dates, names, and short stories on the tombs in the floor at Norwich Cathedral. Bishops, royalty, military, to 15 year old girls that died in child birth 3 years before their 50 year old husbands died. All in the same floor, interesting and disturbing all at once. Weird to know you are walking on remains.
I'm very blessed to live here and get to go to Red Rocks often. It really is an attitude changing experience. Can't wait for 2 weeks from tonight for two nights of MMJ.
But to your point, one of my favorite stories was my Aunt in her mid-70's getting dragged to an Ed Sheeran concert at Red Rocks. I don't think my Aunt would have chosen to go, but my cousin bought her a ticket (or get left in the hotel). As the story goes, she went kicking and screaming as she was climbing all the stairs to get in. After it got dark, everything seemed to fall into place, and she had a great time that she was able to share with all her friends back home.
