Spankers left around 1:30 or so. They were a nice bunch…glad to have
them visit. I think the dogs enjoyed all the additional people
to pet them and such.
Well, yesterday was pretty fun as well. Had the spankers descend on my
place around 3pm. We watched a movie (they live) and they played
gauntlet and sampled my last homebrew batch. About 7pm they
jetted off for the show and Jeremy and I went down and picked up
greg and got a bite to eat and then went to the show. It was a
nice crowd, if small. They played a good set. Similar to the one
in boulder, but they added some new things on to the end. The
show ended about 1am, I got home around 2am, and some of the
band got back here around 2:30 or so.
This document was last modified on
Delightfull show last night. A group of us met up for dinner before
the show. We were going to go to Sushi Zanmai, but the wait
there was pretty horrific and they didn’t do reservations for
smaller parties, so we wandered over to redfish for dinner
instead. It was alright, but not amazing I wouldn’t say. The
beer and the cornbread were both really good, everything else
was alright but not spactacular.
After dinner we walked 2 doors down (redfish is right next to the
trilogy) and waited for the doors to open.
Trilogy is a nice venue. It
has the resturant/bar in the front and then a back room for
music (with it’s own bar). This is the first time I have seen
the spankers have an opening act, it was:
The Crispy Family Circus
They were quite entertaining and I think a good fit for most of the
people in the audience. Especially amusing was the end of their
show where you were invited to give them tips by stapling them
to Crispy.
The Asylum Street Spankers
were excellent as usual. The brought in some folks from Tin Men,
including
Washboard Chaz
Even though he had never played with them, he fit right in and had no
trouble playing along. It was a good gig. Because of the opening
acts and guests and such, they didn’t finish playing until about
1:30 or so.
Looking forward to the denver show sunday night. All you Fort Collins
folks should go see them tonight!
Southern sun and Hacking Society
were nice last night. It was still “Sout month” at Southen Sun. They
have a really nice cream stout on nitro. Yummy. Did some playing
around with access points at Caffe Sole. Left early in case any
spankers wanted to crash at my place. Turns out they were pretty
settled in in boulder, so they just stayed up there.
Tonight is the spankers show at trilogy. Probibly a dinner with some
folks before hand, not that we have planned anything…
Just got back from kurts second Therapy dog
vist (out of 3). He did fine as usual. There were a lot more dogs and
people this time, but there was also a lot more activity at the
place. They were bringing in several new people, and nurses and
doctors were runing around all over the place. Got to see the
103 year old guy who loves dogs. He kept giving treats to all
the dogs. There was a new guy there that we visted and really
brightened up his day I think. He was very happy to see all the
dogs. There were 3 greyhounds there counting kurt.
Everyone should come out to the
Asylum Street Spankers
shows this weekend. They will be in boulder friday night, fort collins
saturday night and denver sunday night. Some of those days the
band (or some part of them) will be crashing here. Should be
fun. They seem like a nice bunch.
