Venue Time: The Ogden Theater

The Ogden Theater is another one of my favorite local hot spots for small concerts. It's probably the perfect location for an intimate show. Tons of great bands get booked there. And it's got a lot of history, which you should appreciate as a Coloradan. It's a little bit loud and the air circulation isn't alwasy as great on the floor as the balcony - which is why I generally opt for seats that are a little higher up. Another bonus of the upstairs: you have a little shelf to rest your purse. Or coat, Or whatever your little heart desires. Love it.

Places I Love To See A Show: The Ogden Theatre

There's not a whole lot of concerty things going on around town this week (unless you're up for two whole nights of Widespread Panic at the Fillmore, while I'm not...), so I thought I'd feature one of my favorite venues for concerts around town, the Ogden Theater. Why I like this place:

1. It's charming and it's got character because it was built forever ago.
2. It's an intimate venue but you don't feel like you're standing next to a speaker the entire time you're there.
3. Drinks are decent priced, which is great when you're already  paying for a ticket to get in the door.
4. They get GREAT acts - from local bands to hot touring bands.

The only things that can be (kind of) irritating about seeing a show here:

1. Parking sucks.
2. It can get unbelievably hot in there. But just wear a tank top to compensate, then you don't notice!

The Jayhawks Are Coming! The Jayhawks Are Coming!

That's right folks, The Jayhawks are taking the Ogden Theater by storm on FRIDAY NIGHT! This Minneapolis based group was created in the mid-80s and play alternative country and rock music. Their most recent album, "Mockingbird Time", is sure to be the centerpoint of this show. I AM SO PUMPED. I love that they mostly play at small venues when they're not playing at festivals (personally, festivals are not my thing). This show is GA - so get there early with your Jayhawks tickets to get the best spot! And just for ya'll: a little Jayhawks love below:
