Day 1: Arrival in Denver

Edward and I landed in Denver on a bright and sunny Saturday noon. Already, weather was looking more congenial than the 6 am sleet we left in Chicago. Sara and Colyn hadn't left from their current habitation in Denver proper and we had half an hour of trying to figure out the correct departure lane for traffic before they arrived. In consequence, the timing was perfect.

We headed back to our stop for the night, a renovated church courtesy of Sara's Fayetteville Ultimate friends, Ben and Joel. Their place featured three stories of stained glass windows, loft ceilings and a bedroom in the belfry.

We went out for drinks and hit up one of Ben's favorite watering holes, The Horseshoe Lounge, got some delicious truffle fries and shot some pool, played some darts. A live band was starting up, GT and the Sidewinders and we decided to stay for the show.

They describe themselves as rocka-honka-americana-roots heartbreakers, but whatever they were, it was a good time.
They were so entertaining, we took some video of their show. 
Later we ran home, with Sara in a shopping cart, to catch a few Zzz's before heading to Breckenridge the next day.
