Keeping Yule Local

I had front row seats to the Trans-Siberia Orchestra's Wichita show tonight and I passed them along so I could attend the Hutchinson Symphony's Christmas show at the Fox Theatre. (2009 photo)



It wasn't just the appeal of supporting my local musicians that appealed to me. Tonight is Third Thursday and the idea of wandering downtown Hutchinson, Kansas, has a special lure when it's trimmed with Christmas lights. (2008 photo)



Mind you, I like the Trans-Siberian Orchestra but I've seen them for the past four years. Here's a collection of pictures I shot at previous shows.



I guess I just figured I'm just feeling like giving the lasers a break for a year and basking in understated incandescence. (2008 photo)
