nye sts9

Bolted out the door an hour early, picked up Steph, met up with Greg at milo and hit the road to denver. Nice pink clouds on a fine new year's eve:



Checked into our hotey along with the rest of colorado, then ventured off down 16th for some pizza to bring back to the room. Jacq & Andy met up with us soon thereafter with a hearty spread from the Rio. Some rounds of champagne and we were off to the Wells Fargo Theater. During the walk, we got to see the early round of denver fireworks. Got inside during the end of the opening act, and in no time Sound Tribe hit the stage with a killer 'Peoples'. First set was crazy, anchored with a welcome 'Circus' and closed out with a pounding 'Shock Doctrine'.



Set break was a hoot - the Thriller album played over the PA, and people were getting down. STS9 returned to the stage, played a tune and then counted down to the new year with plenty of confetti. Long second set, and then double encores kicked off with a very funky 'Wika Chakana'. We left the venue around 1.30~ish, and walked back to our room.

Friday morning we had brunch at Mona's 2, then headed home and pretty much vegged & played wii. Saturday morning we journeyed to Breck, and got snowed on all day - the best snow we've had all season even though there were still some rocks poking out here and there around the 6 chair.
