la la labor

Friday night we were supposed to have a surprise b-day party for Jen, but she was sick, so it just turned into a taco night over at Heidi's place. I grilled some massive steaks and we watched the Rockies game and had a dance party. Then Heidi had to go research an article about Tahona so we left and crahsed at the Bear.

Saturday steph had a run, and I had planned on checking out Sniagrab, but went to the Superior location which wasn't hosting one after all. Bummed around, watched some college football during the day. Later that night, we headed back into town and hit up the boulder Sniagrab and I scored a new Ride Prophet 158:



Next up was the Darkhorse to catch the Bronze show. Took it kind of easy since we had a big day coming up and we had to drive back to milo later on.

Headed over to jacq's sunday, stocked up on tailgate supplies, then drove to Red Rocks for the Ween / Meat Puppets show. Got there nice and early for grilling action.



We did get a little sprinkle, but it was really the wind which was kind of a pain in the ass. Saw GD Sunny D again and enjoyed similar non-results with my 'replacement' - hahahaha.



Not a sold-out show, prolly only ~6000 folks. Found a nice spot in row 37 center.



Meat Puppets rocked a nice opening set and Ween tore a hole in the night.



The entire show was tight as hell. Some extra rockin highlights for me were: 'Bare Hands', 'Transdermal', 'Beacon', 'Voodoo', 'Gabrielle', 'Tooter', 'Mollusk' and they absolutely slayed on the encore closer 'Roses' perhaps as a reclamation of the tune from Phish who opened with it on the last night of their Red Rocks run. It should also be noted, that it was Ryder's first show (outside of the womb). Grab the audio at Browntracker.



Chilled for a bit in the lot then headed back to jaq's place and watched the dvr of the CU/CSU game which CU lost 17-23.

Totally vegged out around the hut on labor day. We did get out in the afternoon finally to catch a matinee of Inglorious Basterds which was pretty awesome. It still kind of felt like a sunday since we caught up with Mad Men during dinner. A smunday.
