Downtown Denver (No. 2)
The Paramount Theatre is a concert venue in Denver, Colorado, located on Glenarm Place, near Denver's famous 16th Street Mall. The venue has a seating capacity of 1,870 but is a popular destination for large acts looking for a smaller concert setting.  With spelling as Paramount Theater, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
The Paramount opened in 1930 as a movie theatre, part of the Paramount-Publix Theatre Circuit, the exhibition arm of Paramount Pictures. The theatre itself was designed by the Chicago architectural firm of Rapp and Rapp, with decorations by designer Vincent Mondo, murals by Louis Grell of Chicago. The original main entry to the theatre was at 519 16th Street, where an entrance lobby was cut through an existing commercial and office building.

Recalling the Talking Heads
Recently I recalled a Talking Heads concert that I had attended with good friends. We traveled from Brooklyn to Manhattan, and then grabbed the ferry over to Staten Island. I took no pictures, but thanks to the web, I was able to track down the date, venue, and more.
Poking around on-line, I ran across an image of a ticket stub for the show on a French site (note: this was not my ticket). I found an update on the Paramount Theatre which was near the ferry dock as I recall. Lastly, and perhaps most easily, I was able to track down the set list. This particular tour, by the way, was called, The Name of the Band is Talking Heads.
Tina was visibly pregnant, and glowing. I had not recalled that the Tom Tom Club opened, but half the members are from the Heads, so it makes sense. I have no recollection of Burning Spear but looked up that they are a Jamaican roots reggae singer-songwriter, vocalist and musician. But I do remember, quite distinctly, that David Byrne was very polite—he said “thank you” after nearly every song but it seemed that he truly meant it.
I only wish I’d brought a camera. The date was August 20th 1982.

I’m slowly going through my Black Veil Brides content from Seattle on 10/16. I recorded the entire concert, and I slide through the video bar frame by frame and screenshot clear moments to post my “pictures.”
Unfortunately within 24 hours of the concert being over, two people I have known for my entire life both passed away, one after the other. To say my survivors guilt is beating my ass would be the understatement of the century. But I’m trying my best to hold on to the excitement, it’s just… taking more time than I wanted.
Anyways, these pics I got have been killing me. There’ll definitely be a lot more coming… eventually. Pls forgive.

Movie Theatre Day 
Movie Theatre Day is celebrated on April 23 each year. This holiday celebrates movie theaters and the thrills they bring into our lives. Today, movie theaters are more than relaxation centers, they also offer a great avenue to have romantic dates, meet new faces, and hang out with friends or family members after a hard day’s work. Much more, some movies now premiere first at the theaters before they are released to other channels for sales and streaming. This underlines the influence and importance of movie theaters today. Sadly, with the advent of the internet and the proliferation of streaming networks, movie theaters now face extinction and low patronage.
History of Movie Theatre Day
A movie theater (also sometimes called a cinema) describes a place where people go to see movies on a big screen. For over a century, movie theaters have served as a favorite spot to unwind, meet new people, and enjoy quality entertainment. On June 19, 1905, the first common type of public motion picture theater in the U.S. opened in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Harry Davis and John Harris — owners of the movie theater — named their cinema Nickelodeon. The name was derived from the words ‘nickel,’ the price of admission into the movie theater, and ‘θέατρο’ or ‘odeon,’ the Greek word for ‘theater.’ Previously, there had been several attempts by different individuals, groups, and companies to bring relaxing entertainment to people in the form of motion pictures in a film theater. Due to the limited technology available in those days, Nickelodeon’s first films were short films (only about 15 to 20 minutes long) shown as flickering shadows displayed on white sheets. While they may appear ridiculous today, they were a scientific breakthrough back then, and the films were largely successful. As they grew in popularity, more theaters multiplied across the country, heralding what became the cinematic industry.
Subsequently, color and sound films arrived in the 1920s. As the technologies improved, so did the size, architecture, clientele, location, ownership, and the types of amenities movie patrons enjoyed. Such were picture palaces, drive-in theaters, optimized movie formats, and large multiplexes and megaplexes (theaters with more than 10 screens). With these innovations came popcorn — a favorite cinema snack — and other concessions like candy and soft drinks. Today, cinemas have facilities like air conditioning, comfy cinema chairs, restaurants, arcades, and exquisitely decorated interiors to attract customers and enhance the viewing experience.
