More of Colorado

Day 21 (Denver): Our 3rd day in Denver (the first 2 spent camping in an RV park), we got to Herman's Hideaway pretty early and unloaded. It was a really cool venue, with great built in sound and light systems and a great engineer; this place has hosted the likes of 311 and Dave Matthews (before they were huge). They don't, however, have a great built in crowd - at least on Tuesday nights! Nonetheless, we got some free booze and had a good time. Oh yeah, and I had leaned Precious Pearls up against a trash can while we unloaded and she got stolen (2 flat tires and all - there were stickers at the last RV park) within the hour! Great neighborhood!

Day 22 (Colorado Springs-ish): Ty got a voicemail a day earlier from the dude at the Thirsty Parrot in Colorado Springs saying he wanted to cancel the show. We never actually got ot talk to him, but Ty said he sounded like a douche on the phone when he booked the show. The guy never told us why he canceled on us, but if I were to take a guess, it would be because 40 Oz. to Freedom (another Sublime tribute band, out of San Diego) was playing that same night at a different club in Colorado Springs (we try to avoid other tributes while we're booking, but it still happens on occaision). Of course, we believe that we're better than them, but they've been on the road for about 2 years longer than us and have more name recognition. Plus, they were playing a premier venue and we were at some shit-hole that cancels on you in the 11th hour. We spent the day driving to Telluride instead, and found another RV park to camp out at for a day. The only bad thing is that it was waaaaay up in the mountains with no internet, cell phone service, or gas stations/stores of any kind. It was a boring day & night, though very pretty (see photos)!
