the long weekend

Wednesday - Everyone (angie, bobby, carolyn, robert, myself, but not brooke) thoroughly enjoyed the Blonde Redhead show. We proceeded to play a cutthroat game of Sorry! at the Atomic Cowboy. The night then miandered into random debauchery back at robert's which lasted well into the a.m. hours and resulted in a light load of laundry and a l o n g drive home, just in time for:

Thursday - Turkey Day. The fam + dylan & derrick feasted on a great meal laboriuosly prepared by mom. After desert, we all went and saw Finding Neverland - a great film, but not the most action packed. It was here I was nuzzled by the first of what would be many naps over the course of the weekend.

Friday - Game day. CU had to beat Nebraska in Lincoln today and Iowa State had to lose to Missouri on saturday if CU was going to win the Big XII north division (got it?). So, the tailgate crew gathered to eagerly watch the televised proceedings at Hillside. To everyone's delight CU won 26-20. After some rigorous frisbee w/ the guys, another nap crept in. We eventually wound up at Ian's parents' house and ate even more food. I think I was in bed by 10pm.

Saturday - woke up late, although just in time for the Mizz/ISU game, which Mizz won in OT (so, CU goes on to play #2 Oklahoma this saturday)! Then me, jacq & dyl met up with pat for the REM show at the Fillmore. Here's the setlist:

set: Get Up / Begin The Begin / So Fast, So Numb / Animal / Boy In The Well / Orange Crush / High Speed Train / Strange Currencies / The Outsiders / Imitation Of Life / Leaving New York / Drive / The Great Beyond / The One I Love / Final Straw / Losing My Religion / Walk Unafraid / Life And How To Live It
encore: What's The Frequency, Kenneth? / Exhuming McCarthy / Country Feedback / Permanent Vacation / I'm Gonna DJ / Man On The Moon

As it turned out, the rest of the long weekend coalition showed up (angie, bobby, carolyn, derrick & robert) and we all managed to sync up at the show along with our new buddy, The Navigator.
Apres show, we all went to a really smoky bar, and then to a less smoky bar.

Sunday - Day of rest.
