Bonerama funkin’ it up in Colorado

       

        Alrighty the first week is in the bag and I’m feeling damn good about it. When I left off the last blog I said Denver was the first stop on the tour. Since the van was heading from Columbus, Ohio we got to make a stop at the Harrah’s Casino in St. Louis, Missouri which was a blast. Well we got into Denver early in the evening so I decided to grab a beer across the street from the hotel to unwind, enjoy downtown, and tell people about the show tomorrow night. It turned out Common was playing right down the street at the Fillmore and I got to meet a lot of cool people and of course a drunken girl that stole a telephone book in the middle of the street. So after a few laughs I went right to bed and I woke the next day to meet the crew and band.

Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock Foundation (SRF), a Christian nonprofit Arizona Corporation he formed with Chuck Savale in 1995 dedicated to teenagers and children in need, has long held popular events like the Christmas Pudding Concerts and celebrity golf tournaments to raise money and awareness for their cause. Now they announce their most ambitious goal yet: a 29,000-square-foot center where troubled youth can learn everything about the music industry, including what it takes to run a concert tour.
