Long weekend mode was in effect after work friday. I headed over to steph's and she whipped up some killer stuffed peppers for dinner. Got up early on saturday and headed to the hills. We stopped at Noa Noa's for some coffee and wasted 30 minutes. I am all for supporting the local coffee shops, but their new system is the crap. We were in the usual beat the ski traffic rush, so we figured we go in and grap a couple of drips and continue on our way. Usually there is a big pot of house coffee all ready to go. However, these guys now had a little pour station where they individually grind and pour water into a filter and it drips into your cup... slowly. And slower still when there are people in front of you and the 'barista' is pouring a half cup of water at a time, etcetera and so on. It was a pretty tasty cup 'o joe at least. Not mush fresh at A-Basin, but we had a solid day on the slopes regardless.



Had a romantic valentine's dinner at 4580 in NoBo, and steph got me a sweet book of Sam Brown artwork signed by the artist. After dinner we stopped over a greg's place for some cocktails before heading out to trilogy for some dancing. We were expecting some drum & bass, but wound up with house and then reggae - typical boulder fare, but fun enough nonetheless. Sunday started off casual with some bloody marys. We had planned on going to a film but wound up stimulating the pearl street economy and having some brews and guac at the west end, where I actually got the waiter's attention by calling him 'garçon'. Monday was spent finishing up my paper for the first night of my next class.
