built to bronz

Another friday, another show. I scooped up some freebies from the radio for the Built to Show at the Fox. Steph & I grabbed some dinner at illegal pete's in the middle of Hillfest, which was a welcome back block party type dealio for the kiddies returning to class. It was mostly a ton of sk8er boiz flailing on ramps. But they also had a stage set up and we caught some of the Hot IQs set.

I was all geared up to tape and showed up at doors, but was bizarrely turned away? I figured there was just some miscommunication, so we went to the Sink for a couple of brews to pass the time. Checked again - still no taping. Oh well, we stopped by Rose Hill for another brew and packed up the gear back in the car. Made it in just before the BTS set, bumped into a classmate and then my pal sean from the Springs who is an avid collector of my BTS tapes. We figured out that the band must be gearing up for another official 'live' release of their own, clued in by the ambient mics placed on either side of the stage. Sean was going to stay in the local hostel so we invited him back to crash at steph's.


(it should be noted that they did not play 'stab')

Jacq & dylan came over saturday afternoon then we all headed to denver for joaquin's b-day bash. It was a throwdown - everyone was having a blast. His band, the Bronz, blew the walls off the living room. During their setbreak, I popped in the Friends EP, and people got up on the mic and sang along - out of control. All 8 cases of cheap beer were polished off and most of the food devoured when we left, which was only around 11pm or so. Nothing like a knock down drag out house party to put things into perspective.
