Sometimes I ask myself how old I am. At 64, should I be attending a showing of "The Dark Side of the Rainbow" in 3D no less? This pairs Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album with the Wizard of Oz. They play it through twice in coordination with the movie, starting the music on the 3rd roar of the MGM Lion. Yes, hallucinogenics must have been involved, because even with a bit of a buzz on, the synchronization only occurred coincidentally. Another rock song myth, but so much fun too. The old Epsilon Church where it was played (sold out, by the way. Three tiers of seating!) was filled with oldsters like me. We were either singing along or quoting lines from the movie a la Rocky Horror. The younger stoners were amazed at the collective knowledge about both mediums. It was fun and I will forgo asking myself the age question and just enjoy what life has to offer the best I can.
Brattleboro is quite the eclectic town with a really progressive bent, but is lately struggling with homelessness that is escalating to crime. Overall it is tolerant, colorful, tasty, well appointed, funky, filled with activites, full of art and architecture. A quick walk around before the show yielded some of this old mill towns sights. Just a quick taste, even less than a tapas.
