Solid show. Of course with Wood we needed to be up front. He played the entire album, some favorites, and some new songs to get ready for Red Rocks. Shared some emotional stories of the past year. Vibe was good. Seems to be an older crowd (me 49, Wood 61). And look what I snagged for my friend. Checked off the box for a May concert as well. 5/5 rolling into a busy summer!
While a trip to Red Rocks to see Michael Franti wasn’t in the cards this year, Wood and I made the trip to the Bluebird Theater to see a special acoustic performance the night before. While waiting in line to get in, got to see him and his wife (and their giant security guard) getting off the bus. We were then treated to a quick performance of “Say Hey (I love You)” in front of the theater. Then it was showtime!
The good times keep rolling on the islands. Sis is excited to bring her friend to Colorado in August for the Noah Kahan concert and show her Greeley. As she said, “Now I have my own Asian to bring to the party!” Please remind her that Greeley…the opposite of Hawaii. She sure is lucky to see such a beautiful place. If only I was so lucky. Thanks for the pictures and the updates, Sara(Beth). Keep having fun.
We lost a “family member” last weekend, as The Tavern closed for business and Chad and Wendi sold to new owners. They had owned it for 16 years. It was a fairly emotional night as we celebrated the Young’s and everything that the Tavern had ment to our family over the years. Birthday parties, graduation parties, rehearsal dinners, cheap Saturday burgers, campaign kick-offs and election night watch parties. The list goes on and on. All those trivia nights while I was going through cancer. The beer dinners with good friends. Watching each of our kids work there, while Andrew was there until the end. Thanks you, Youngs. Thank you.
”Lazy day on the island” is how SBX framed today’s adventures. She got to do one of her favorite things (besides seeing me). Art museums! Keep having fun BG! Who knows…if I play my cards right, someday I might get to experience paradise. Bonus picture of the new City Council, now that we have filled the Ward 1 vacancy. Brian and I hate ties. So we stood in solidarity together. Bonus bonus picture of some of Council and the new City Manager at the United Way luncheon last week.
Another combined post! SBX still seems to be having a great time on the island. I’d really like to go there someday…Looks tropical. Back in the Dirty G, Jen and I were invited to attend the VIP opening for Edison’s Ice Cream in downtown. It was awesome. I ended up eating three scoops before rushing over to Council. Fun to see the store manager as one of the kid’s friends from middle and high school.
