MAY 20/21 DENVER/BOULDER CO.

Ice-cold coronas on a hot evening followed by a sweet concert at the Bluebird Theater in Denver with Jenny and friends. Joe Pug opened for Horsefeathers. Pretty cool indie-folk band--they've got guitar, cello, violin, banjo--and at one point, a saw was played. The crowd wore a lot of plaid, and were the types to wear retro horn-rimmed eyeglasses without prescriptions (I know because this individual was part of our crowd; have to admit I gave them a pretty hard time for wearing fake glasses as an accessory, but then again I'm new to the indie-folk fashion scene.)

The next morning off to Boulder for Jenny's bachelorette party! We met up with two of her friends (both nurses, like Jenny), and went bouldering at "the Spot", an indoor climbing gym. Fun climbing with a group of super strong girls. They all helped me find routes I could do (and not do--I ended up with quite a few chalk hand prints on my back and butt from the girls helping me reach holds I couldn't get too...). Learning the terms of climbing--like when you've been climbing for a while and your forearms get "pumped" (really tight) and your veins kind of stick out. Really funny that I was with a bunch of nurses at this point--they all took turns looking at my arms and discussing how easy it would be to do an IV on me. Noooo thank you.

We went out to dinner on Pearl Street in Boulder--found a place with "bottomless wine glasses" for $5. We sat, ate, and drank for hours. It was quite lovely, and you would have never known it was a bachelorette party save for Jenny's hot pink tiara and inappropriately shaped necklace (I won't elaborate, but she made several attempts to hide it over the course of the night.) Before heading home, we stopped at one more bar and had a few neon green shots. (Not a super good idea, but the bartender was a friend of theirs, and our tab after a few rounds was $4, total.)
We made it home safely, and after a huge plate of nachos, fell asleep.
