Knott's Saloon
I had never, EVER been inside the saloon for more than a few minutes, just long enough to buy a soda and walk out so today I was excited to actually see a show. I noticed some stairs and asked if I could go up to the balcony. Guess what? I had it all to myself! Isn't this cool???? While I was waiting, I noticed this little detail...See the fancy cup of beer in the center? Looking down through the railings. The show begins! At first, I felt bad because I was the only person in the audience but then they started talking to me. Once they found out where I lived, they incorporated jokes about it in their act. I was cracking up! After the show, I remembered that there used to be a gunfight from the balcony outside of the building so I went in search of that. Found the door...and noticed the unique ironwork. Then I poked my lens through it for this shot. Back outside, I went in search of the Bottle House. I don't know why, but as a kid, this place always fascinated...
