KiMo Theater is a theater and historic landmark located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on the northeast corner of Central Avenue and Fifth Street. It was built in 1927 in the extravagant Pueblo Deco architecture, which is a blend of adobe-style Pueblo Revival building styles (rounded corners and edges), decorative motifs from indigenous cultures, and the soaring lines and linear repetition found in American Art Deco architecture. The name Kimo, meaning 'mountain lion', was suggested by Pablo Abeita in a competition sponsored by the Albuquerque Journal. The theater opened on September 19, 1927, with a program including Native American dancers and singers, a performance on the newly installed $18,000 Wurlitzer theater organ, and the comedy film Painting the Town. According to local legend, the KiMo Theatre is haunted by the ghost of Bobby Darnall, a six-year-old boy killed in 1951 when a water heater in the theater's lobby exploded. The tale alleges that a theatrical performance of A Christmas Carol in 1974 was disrupted by the ghost, who was supposedly angry that the staff was ordered to remove donuts they had hung on backstage pipes to appease him.

It's always nice to see people or yourself as belonging to categories. Here are some categories that I myself proudly belong to, it helps me become an indentitist trying to identify with an identity:
See more fun ones at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Beliefs, especially in the history of the article, because a lot of cool and funny boxes are getting deleted by admins without a good sense of humor.
Just in case you didn't get it, it was a joke. Being something, standing up for soemthing, even if it's anti antiness, is what you could call having principles. Cervantes said only the man who fights for his principles is truly alive, even if his hero ends up fighting a lot of windmills. Still, I detest being labeled anything. See what Sartre's take on this. By the way, as opposed to his own preaching, even he belonged to some categories, and could be labeled as something as opposed to something else. Opposed is a root of many of the problems of the human condition, because being labeled into a category is one thing, being opposed to something is quite different. See what happens when you want everything [my way], instead of letting a man be his way, in the name of preemption. Here's another angle on the whole topic, Honey, pass the bombs.
