    Spectacular. Now, *that* is what a premiere should look like. The Carthay Circle Theatre looks almost alive hugging the land. Fabulous architecture.

    Its site is 2 1/2 miles from work – where I am right now! I love the cameras in the bottom picture – is the fellow standing behind them giving the ‘OK’ sign? Who is the lucky recipient?
