Sexually Delicious, Mentally Nutritious

Last night we went to see the Killers at Red Rocks.  Being able to go see shows there is one of the best things about living in Colorado.  It's an outdoors amphitheater surrounded by beautiful red rocks that naturally create amazing acoustics.  And it's absolutely beautiful, almost surreal even, watching bands rock out with these massive wonders of nature standing boldly beside and behind them.

And because we are so incredibly amazing and famous in Denver, our picture was featured on the front page of Metromix.com's (Denver's version of CitySearch) website today.  Yes that's little ol' me in the red belt.  Ok, we're really not that amazing.  And famous?  Yeah, not at all.  We're just friends with the photographer.

The Killers were amazing.  I haven't been to a big show like that in so long.  I definitely prefer a more intimate setting, but sometimes it's just fun to have to the lights and the fog machines and the confetti.  Oh yes, there was confetti.  

The opening band was decent.  They'd be better in a smaller venue though.  They had two girls in the band "playing" guitar and keys.  But they were clearly just there for the eye candy.  The apathetic blonde (who's pants HAD to have been painted on) played about 5 notes on the keyboard and tapped the tambourine a couple of times, and the brunette was trying REALLY hard to focus on strumming the chords right.  I love seeing chicks rock out, but only if they're talented.  These girls were just nice to look at.  However, their song Classy Girls, was amazing (they are to blame for the title of this post).  Myspace!

My favorite moment of the show?  Brandon Flowers started in on a cover of Can't Help Falling in Love, we saw the man sitting in front of us turn to face his girlfriend and dropped to one knee.  She said yes immediately and with a nervous hand he put the ring on her finger.  Despite my bitterness towards love lately, this made me cry, in a really really happy sort of way.
