Other times Denver came up
They were going to do a Stephen King movie there and they didn't do it in Colorado. Then David Lee who was one of the show's creators said that they were going to put Frasier in Colorado in Denver but they had to move it away from there because they didn't want to be associated with this anti-gay amendment. Then in 1996, four years later the US Supreme Court declared it was unconstitutional so it got kicked out anyway but they lost all of this kind of investment and all of these shows and stuff just refused to go to Colorado.

What they did was this was in Denver this guy called Hernandez and he had extremely obvious special tattoos and so he would use the foundation to cover those up so that they wouldn't recognize him. Brilliant very clever. There was a guy called this is quite easy to guess actually but there was a guy in Albuquerque called the birthday suit sign bandit.
