This is just a portion of the details at the top of the Lensic theater here in Santa Fe. Here is a small snippet from Wikipedia "The Lensic Theater is an 821 seat theater designed by Boller Brothers of Kansas City, well known movie theater and vaudeville house architects who designed almost one hundred theaters throughout the West and mid-West, including the KiMo Theater in Albuquerque. The pseudo-Moorish, Spanish Renaissance Lensic was built by Nathan Salmon and E. John Greer and opened on 24 June 1931. Its name derives from the initials of Greer's six grandchildren.
The Lensic was completely restored and renovated between 1999 and 2001, and provides Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico with a modern venue for the performing arts
The best part, tonight I am attending a lecture featuring photographer
Annie Leibovitz who is here in Santa Fe for the opening of her show at the
Georgia O'Keeffe Museum.

Well I'm jealous! I'm an admirer of hers -- I especially love her early rock and roll pictures for Rolling Stone magazine. I hope you get a chance to meet her!
The trim on that building is gorgeous. How ornate! It must have taken ages to execute. Great shot!
Wow -- she's an icon. How awesome to be able to see her. Have fun Randy!
I was unfamiliar with her. Looked her up and wow...I'd love to hear a lecture by this lady. Her work is amazing.
wow so cool event there!
And I love this picture with so beautiful blue sky.The theater is fabulous!
Enjoy!

What a fun lecture to attend in such a beautiful building. Take some pictures!
Oh Randy, that will be a wonderful event. Wish I were there.
Amazing building! Enjoy your evening - lucky you!
How lucky you are to be able to go tho that lecture! I am envious!
Beautiful photo Randy!
Some interesting history and now topping it off with Annie. Enjoy the evening and do give us a report. Maybe you could sneak and photo of her.
the building is gorgeous, but the lecture would be pretty damn cool!
Enjoy the lecture Randy! Sounds like it could be interesting.
Good for you, Randy! I envy you.
I think we would all like to be there with you tonight! Fabulous building, Randy!
Very pretty
That theatre is gorgeous and you get to see a legend! I'm officially envious:) I love the O'Keeffe museum, what a wonderful venue.
I would be excited too! What an opportunity!
I am 100% jealous! But I'm very happy for you my friend.:) What a great opportunity! xo
ohhh have fun!
Amazing architecture and a very interesting lecture!
That's a gorgeous building! I'm so jealous of your planned evening! :-)
I thought the decoration was Asian, not Spanish or Moorish. What do I know?
I'll bet it was fun seeing the lecture. I am curious about whether or not she was articulate about her photography. I have listened to some artists over the years and most are not very successful about how they create their art.
I must admit that I am a bit envious of this lecture!!!!! How wonderful that you are going to attend.
I bet you will LOVE the evening performance! I didn't now the significance of the naming of the theatre.
Wow, sounds like a great lecture, I might drop by.
Very decorative trim Randy, super little theatre, they're the best kin as far as I'm concerned. Would love to know what you thought of the lecture?
so jealous - you have no idea.
she's my no1.

you are. always so ornate.

Annie Leibovitz?! Lucky you. I love her work.
