I'm back in Las Vegas after a quick weekend trip to Colorado. I had an amazing time. Truly, it was an original experience. Man, I really dig Boulder. It's gotta be one of my favorite places to hang out in America. In many ways this trip ended up being more important to me creatively than the entire Las Vegas experience. More on that later. It was finally great to get some real perspective on things after being in Las Vegas for two and a half months. I had a long drive on Sunday up to the mountains to clear my head. I also let loose an epic weekend bender. Hunter would have been proud that I was partying it up like a rock star in his state.Boulder is a unique place and in many ways, is a city of cliches. Are there hordes of hippies wandering around? Absolutely. Did I mention how much I love happy hippie girls?
Colorado has also been the spot where I witnessed some amazing music in my life. On Saturday, I saw a kick ass concert at Red Rocks courtesy of STS9 and Trey Anastasio Band. The Joker and I also sampled some other local bands as well such as Luna Sol and Rose Hill Drive.
For now, I'm too exhausted from a weekend of non-stop partying to say everything about this weekend. Plus my flight to Las Vegas was delayed two hours and I spent another ninety minutes stuck on the tarmac at McCarran. I'll be back with a full trip report and a concert review after a quick SNG on Noble Poker and a nap.
Here are some random points that I'll be talking about in a full recap of the weekend:
