Backcountry film festival

Last night we went to see the Backcountry Film Festival at this great little theater downtown.  The movies were all very good; most were short videos of extreme backcountry skiing and snowboarding experiences.  Many were filmed in Alaska.  Some of the skiing was so extreme both Steve and I agreed that we wouldn't ever want to do it, it was just too steep and remote. 

The theater was also really neat!  The seating was rows of old lecture hall chairs, with random cushions and chair pads added for eclectic comfort (and they were comfortable!).  There were maybe 50 seats in the theater narrow theater.  At the back, there were a couple of comfy couches and a high-top table or two.  The concession stand sold real popcorn, popped on site with a crock pot of melted butter you could add if you wanted some.  We'll definitely be back for more shows.
