The Paul Simon concert last night at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre was terrific! Paul was energetic and offered up stories to accompany his set list.

Did you know on June 26th there will be an intimate concert film "Paul Simon: The Quiet Celebration Concert" premiering on Disney+/Hulu? The film captures Paul's triumphant return to the stage following a battle with hearing loss - the show blends deep cuts and new songs from his Seven Psalms album with classic Simon & Garfunkel hits.

The two-hour film was captured during his highly acclaimed A Quiet Celebration Tour, featuring longtime collaborators and his wife, Edie Brickell.

Have you heard of the metal artist Starr Kempf? I love his whimsical and steampunk-esque art!

Starr Kempf's kinetic sculptures are large, intricate steel wind sculptures located in Colorado Springs, notably at the Ent Center for the Arts at UCCS and on private property in the Cheyenne Canyon area, viewable from the street. Key pieces like Metronome, Sunrise Serenade, and Space Needle are on long-term loan at the Ent Center, while others remain at the artist's former home *, visible from the road. The sculptures are known for their graceful movement with the wind and are a significant part of the local art landscape.

You will also notice several Starr Kempf kinetic sculptures plus pictures of Starr in action and a placque in his honor on display at the Creekwalk area of Colorado Springs off Nevada.

* You can view more of his sculptures at his home from the road at Evans Avenue and Pine Grove Avenue near the Starsmore Visitors Center in Cheyenne Canon. ⭐

🌮 Have you tried a La Casita restaurant near you? Our daughter loves their sopapilla dessert (traditional fried pastry made from leavened dough). Today when we visited for lunch, they were offering this deal of two free medium drinks, plus free sopapilla, when you order two plates. Plus on Wednesdays kids (12 and under) eat free!

All plates come with rice, lettuce, cheese and beans. Our food came quickly and with our choice of salsa. We enjoy this spot! 🌯 Plus they offer a military discount.

"La Casita Mexican Grill was started in Colorado Springs on Cinco de Mayo (May 5), 1986 by founder Janet Sawyer-Gerber. The original restaurant began in a converted gas station on South Nevada Avenue."
