black angels / father's day

Steph had another training run in the morning so friday night we chillaxed at my place and grilled up some dinner.

Saturday morning I cleaned out the basement and ran some errands. Then we headed over to the courts in Louisville and tossed some boules. I love playing on the clay with the wooden borders - great for bank shots. The kids in the park are always curious what you're up to, and it can be a bit of a pain with all their questions and hovering about, but they can also be handy by telling you who's closer to the mark. We stopped at that mexican resty by the tracks for lunch, then headed back to milo for a quick dip in the pool.



After regrouping, we made our way to Colfax, stopped at the atomic for dinner, and hit up the Black Angels / Warlocks show at the Bluebird. We walked in just as the Warlocks hit the stage. I guess they were having monitor troubles or su'in because the lead singer had a stick up his ass about it for a few songs until he finally chilled out a bit - overall a solid set. Next up, the Black Angels owned! Real heavy psychedelic dirge rock with the lead singer channeling Jim Morrison. Wicked! Their albums don't do them justice, they should really be seen live if you get the chance.





Sunday the fam drove up to Brainard Lake for a father's day hike. The road was still closed and most of the trails were still covered in snow, or soaking wet, so we just hiked up the road and around the lake which was a good couple of miles. On the way home we stopped off for a picnic at Barker Dam.
