The photos you've been waiting for


Hmm, that sounds like the subject line for a spam email, doesn't it? Ah well.

Okay, in this first picture, taken near the end of the concert, you probably can't read the tags (click on the photo to see it larger), but they point to author Amy Tan, Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, author Greg Iles, and humorist/author Dave Barry.

We were sitting pretty close to the front, but I didn't feel like climbing over people's legs to get out and go stand in front of the stage like the other groupies visible here.

Photo #2 shows Amy Tan singing "These Boots Are Made for Walking." That's Mayor Hickenlooper (seriously, the funniest name for a mayor... makes me want to make up a rhyming Dr. Seuss-like poem about him... words that rhyme would include chicken-cooper, and... um... okay, it would only have two lines) over on the left, being more than a good sport and even, as you'll see in the next photo, hamming it up a little.

Ladies and gentlemen, Amy Tan and the Mayor of Denver in "These Boots Are Made for Walking."

Hey, it's all for a good cause, right?
