yo la westword

Friday I bottled the Kiwit. I'm looking forward to see how this one turned out.

Saturday we headed to downtown Denver for the annual Westord Music Fest. Traffic was a bit zany since it was gay pride weekend also, and I had to pull a little 'oops I didn't notice this was a one-way street' maneuver to get into the Sheraton parking garage.



We grabbed some subs at the Mellow Mushroom on the 16th Street Mall before heading over to the golden triangle for the festival, and got there right when the Sword were finishing up.



Del the Funky Homosapien was up next and put on a lively set - he performed a bunch of songs from across his various projects including 'Clint Eastwood' for his encore.



The crowd thinned a bit, so we moved up in front of the soundboard for Yo La's set. They were on the Spinning Wheel tour, but played a regular set since it was a festival setting. Still some sweet breakouts.



Set:
Big Day Coming
Evanescent Psychic Pez Drop
Today Is The Day

After the show was over, we went back to Mellow Mushroom and picked up a pizza for the room. I love that place, and wish the one they used to have in Boulder would have lasted.



Sunday we took it easy and had a relaxing father's day BBQ at 3959.
