Butte |
|
I really enjoyed going to Butte in the year 2,000 AD. The town is picturesque, really sculptural. It's just inside a little bowl in a little hill. In the bowl, there is a mine... Well anyways I went there as a tourist for a week. The thing I wanted to tell you is, Butte's the home town of Evil Knievel, the famous stunt cyclist. Everywhere you go, there's Evil. They tell you all his jumping spots. I believe a museum is available. And to look at the town, you can really appreciate the potential for stunts. The town is really very small and steep. He could do flips up and down the street, literally. Places I went: the library, the mine, a train car tour of the 19th century era remnants; a local theater. I happened to glance in the town paper one night. Suddenly I glimpsed a live show of a Beatles cover band in the downtown theater. Instantly, I went there by hotel shuttle. For a small price I paid to enter the (high school?) auditorium. Everything was got up in red velvet curtains and shiny cut-out stars hanging from string. The floor was checkered linoleum. Well a traveling Beatles cover band had a stop in Butte that night, and I saw them. Got a pic w Len-non Ha ha, I just remembered, when I went to the library I read _The Little Prince_. 2012-05-10, 8:00 p.m. |
