Beyond Cocodome!
Crazy show tonight! The Denver crowd was ON the hook (much better than being off the hook) - thanks in part to our special surprise guests... Denver's own... THE FRAY!! Here's Isaac & Joe from soundcheck today:
They were awesome enough to rock us with TWO songs tonight: "You Found Me" and "Over my Head (Cable Car)"!! Super super catchy and super super GREAT. Thanks guys! I'm a huge fan, and totally forgot that they were coming tonight - so I was surprised and pumped when I saw their name on the dressing room this morning!! I hope you guys dug em as much as I did. ;)
Denver was a great crowd, but I have to say... The Ellie Caulkins Opera House is one of the more interesting places that we've played so far - it's pretty shallow and reeeeeeaaaaaaly tall! It reminded me of the Thunderdome in Max Max: Beyond Thunderdome! Check it out:
(As you can see, Conan's still wearing his Greek fisherman's hat these days)
Anyway, Mad Max or no Mad Max, the Opera House was mucho cool and loud as hell. Thanks, Denver!! Now we have an hour to get into some trouble before we jump back on the bus and head out to Dallas! Colorado, you were a sweet and gentle mistress, but it will be really nice to get back to sea level so I can stop feeling sick 24 hours a day and getting drunk off of one beer (okay, that might actually be awesome and cost effective). Anyway, that's all for tonight! See y'all later... FROM TEXAS! YEEEEEHAW!!

Had to see a men’s doctor today. Why? Let’s just say "Newt is no longer surging in the polls."

Can't wait till y'all get here!! Any hints as to whom our special guest will be in Dallas?
I really hope you guys are trying to get special guests for every show! I am so excited for the show in Tulsa on Saturday! I can hardly wait!!!!
the show was awesome tonight! thanks you guys! great energy in the crowd and it sounded awesome in the opera house
Thanks for the awesome show! I drove down all the way from Rapid City SD!
AWESOME SHOW!! Does anybody know the name of the song that played right after the show ended as everybody left the theater?
Interesting. Looks great from the stage, but I'd hate to have a seat on the third balcony. Well, in actuality, I would have loved to have seen tonight's show from any angle. Saying I'd hate a third balcony seat is like saying I hate milk chocolate. It's relative. And delicious.
By the way, how's your tacky item collection going?
Ooooohhhh! The Fray! LOVE the "Over my head" song!! I'll bet they rocked the place!!
That place kind of reminds me of the Seattle venue where hubby and I saw you guys, although I never saw it from the stage so it could be totally different....
That Greek fisherman hat is gonna smell funky by the end of the tour - just sayin.....
Wow, gorgeous venue!! ON the hook, indeed – perhaps even securely fastened to the hook. [I steal that all the time in conversation. Only one person has ever known the reference. We are friends to this day.] Have a safe trip back to sea level!!
Bahahaha! Thanks Val Down Below! You always know how to make a girl feel loved.
Shut up! You are too awesome!! Bley needs to seek you out and get YOUR autograph! Val Down Below has spoken!
I'm glad that your day ended on a high note after the glitch with twitter this morning ( I think someone called it a twitch)
Anyway have fun in Texas! But you better save some of that awesomeness for Chicago. ChiCoCo is going to be amazing. Especially the 19th show. Why? Because I will be there, and I am awesome.
Ok I'm really not awesome, but I know the show will be, because seriously, after everything I've heard how can it be anything but awesome.
Enjoy your nice long bus ride!
Peace, love, and barbecue sauce!
@NALPAK: It was called "SukiyakI" but I'm not sure which version it was. There have been a few. Great show!
Well Glad to see you made it out conscious and alive. Should have listened to me about that water advice ;).
Since you're headed to cowboy country did you bring your cowboy gear from when you went to the rodeo all those months back?
Sounds like another great show! It's weird being on the west coast and having you guys switch time zones. We'll have to adjust to reading all these updates earlier in the day. On the plus side, that means more sleep for me! Yay! =D
And umm.....I don't get the Mad Max reference. -hides-
The pregnant groupie was my wife! I had no idea I wasn't the father... ;)
LOL @ the pregnant groupie. And "A plane crashed here..." LMAO!!!! I will remember tonight for the rest of my life.
Wow oh wow what a great show. All of it! I wish I could go to all of them because the Denver show was great. Reggie Watts was fabulous, The Fray was great--I was not even expecting that and of course Conan was perfect as always!!
HEE LARIOUS! I walked away saying that it "was all worth it" because it most certainly was!
Thanks Conan and the rest of the team. I know that me along with my mile high fans had a hell of a time. A Rocky Mountain High if you will. Now go suck some O2 from your provided oxygen mask. LOL
Enjoy the rest of the tour and thanks much
Thanks, Alvin! I usually shoot in RAW at ISO 1600 (because the theaters are always so dark), then in Photoshop I like to boost the yellows and reds a bit! It really seems to make em pop!
Hey Bley, what settings do you use on your DLSR? Like always, your images are simply amazing!
Sweet!! I ran up there during soundcheck to take some pics, and I was afraid of getting dizzy and falling to my death! Sorry about not getting to meet Conan - sometimes people catch him and sometimes they don't... I always try to tell the fans whether he's left or not, so they don't waste their time if he's already gone. :(<br />
<br />
And thanks! Colorado was a treat!!
I was one of the people in the farthest reaches of the Ellie Caulkins on the 4th level, and the show was awesome even from up there! We waited outside for an hour before frostbite/the roadies told us Coco had already left. :( Oh well, we all had a hell of a time and we're so glad you guys made a stop in the midwest. Hilarious stuff! And of course we can't wait to see Conan and crew back on TV. Keep it up, gang. Colorado loves you!
Tulsa's gonna be awesome!! I'm pumped!!! ;)
Ok so I got so excited when I read "From Texas" Not because I'm going to either of the Texas shows but you being in Texas means your getting closer to... TULSA!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!! I can't wait for saturday! I Totally have time to go to work saturday and my bosses were like the show doesn't start til 8 you'll be off before 6 blah blah blah I was like um... NO! I'm declaring it Conan day! All Day!
I can't believe that this blog is eating comments, too! F&#*^ING GARY.
I know this won't get posted because my comments never work, but cool theater and great to see Conan doing his part to help the Greek economy. Happy trails to Texas!;)
HAHAHAHA. Thanks man!
Despite the Fray being catchy, the Thunderdome reference is now making Tina Turner's "Weeee don't need another hero" impossible to get out of my head. THANKS bley.
Awesome pics!
BleyBley,<br />
YES. they close the street off for several blocks from about 9pm to 3am. It gets pretty crazy. however, i do hear there will be rain friday nite :(, but that usually does not stop the partygoers.<br />
BTW, if you are here in austin in the morning, the Austin City Limits show has a tour every friday at 10:30am at the KLRU studios.
So is 6th street the place we should be hanging out after the show?!
dear BleyBley,
few more days until the austin show. I CAN'T WAIT. if you don't know what to do in town, here's a few things:
barton springs pool
stevie ray vaughn statue
Cathedral of Junk
UT, the capitol
B-B-Q!!!
6th street on a friday nite - lots o'beer
Thanks Bley! Love the blogs!
HA HA. Awesome!! I don't have any pics or video... But maybe someone else who was at the show last night does! Can anybody here give Todd a little help?
At the Denver show, the "pregnant groupie" was my wife. Unfortunately, my batteries died two seconds before the bit started. Is there any chance anyone snapped a photo or took video of it? My wife and I would be forever grateful! What an awesome show!
Thanks man! Great seeing you again - and thanks for snapping our photos! It was fun!
Awesome show in Denver last night. I loved everything about it. Thanks so much for going on the road with this tour.
I updated my blog with my final portroids from the Colorado stops. Check it out (if you want): http://portroids.blogspot.com/2010/05/po... />
Thanks again to everyone involved!
I wish I could, but I go where the bus goes... And the bus ain't going to Austin early! Sorry dudes...
yeah, BleyBley! hang out here in austin! i have a brisket plate and a shiner bock waiting for you here after your swim at the barton springs pool ...
i cant believe you're already in dallas. you dont perform till thursday! what are you doing for the next two days?!
y'all should have def spent extra time in Austin as opposed to Dallas. im from Dallas and i cant even think of anything to do there. ooh ooh. drink some LoneStar beer. ok, that's all i got...
AW MAN! Look what this site made me do! Stupid dupe! Now the ITCHY-O is REAL MAD!
We're bummed that Conan didn't get a chance to see it.
We want a do-over... OR ELSE!<br />
<br />
(CoCo like friends?)

Whoa!! Is that what was going on outside yesterday?!? SO COOL! Thanks for doing it!
ITCHY-O attempted to crash the Conan O'Brien show at the Denver City Opera House, but was foiled due to Fergie, the Ex-Duchess of York, speaking next door at the Buell Theatre and tight security. But, evidently nothing can stop these freaks from gettin' their itch on!

TORONTO WILL ROCK!!
If you're looking for getting drunk off of one beer, wait till you get up to Toronto, Canada, where the smell of opening a 2-4 (that's a case of 24 beers) will get you buzzed.
Can't wait for the Toronto showwwwwwwwwwwwwww
What's that?
You need to find some Tactical Nuclear Penguin
