the DENVER thread

is it in the red brick building w/ the apts on the 2nd floor? think i was there once for halloween 3-4yrs ago, can't remember exactly.

great! my friend who set up the show will be playing too, and he is dope (m@n m@ntis).

are you "on tour" ? i'd think that there'd be some other thread resuscitation given that

kelpolaris i was there on halloween in 2010 too.

i dated a guy who lived there. that was interesting.

jordan i'll be at your show. is there a FB event or anything?

nah, just visiting family and i figured i might as well pick up a gig as long as i was out there. although i'm planning on doing other weekend trips this summer and telling people it's a "tour".

xp not yet, but when it gets closer i'll invite you on facebook and post the details here. looking forward to it!

(PS, Unit E is on Santa Fe and not related to Unit B)

Oh, and I went to a party there once. It's all coming together.

Sorry for my liveblogging my stupid thoughts here.

I'm going to a place called the Lost Lake Lounge sometime soon. Never heard of it. On E. Colfax?

Yeah. On Monroe & Colfax. It's pretty hipstery, but not disgustingly so.

yeahhh, it seems as though the Howling Hex are doing a weekly residency there in June. I am the only one in Denver excited about this, I think.

The same owners of Sputnik and Hi-Dive operate Lost Lake.

If that gives you an idea.

It's a bit more laid back and dingy, though.

Howling Hex? Really? Are they from Denver???

The dude just moved out here or something? He's playing the Lion's Lair on the 20th of this month too. Saw him a few weeks back at the larimer lounge. pretty bizarre, but great --- had a backing band playing norteno kinda rhythms while he played psychedelic freak out guitar. there were about 12 people there.

somewhat OT: has hi-dive always used biker dudes as doormen?

hmm, i don't remember that. people working the door when i frequented there were frail indie types iirc.

they're sort of a hybrid. jeans jackets w/ patches and mutton chops, garnished with vans old skools.

no reason for asking, just curious. well, sort of - i kinda just wondered if having biker-dudes as doormen as just a "legacy" the venue wanted to continue onward. the dudes there today aren't very imposing and i hadn't really known they were biker-bros until i asked, jokingly, if all employees had to wear the same vest.

did they answer by beating you senseless with a pool cue?

whereas they reveled to me their being part of a biker gang and i had to feign interest as i asked if they rode harley's, the only brand i'm familiar with and likely will ever be

im a shitty conversationalist.

a biker gang! kind of quaint. i bet they all crank bon iver while ridin' on their hogs.

oh those guys are all door dudes all over town.

its actually a biker guild

WHAT IS THIS THING

JORDAN, A REALLY GREAT DUDE WHO POSSESSES A LOT OF MUSICAL TALENT, IS PLAYING A SHOW AT UNIT E ON FRIDEY NIGHT :D

Chants? I'm a maybe! I've never been to Unit E.

I'm a maybe leaning on the side of probably, too. Because I had prior plans to attend THE FOURTH ANNUAL GASMASQUERADE

YES. I TYPED THAT.
I will not be wearing a gas mask.

whoa gasmasquerade.

in other DENVER news, i totally saw the new TOYOTA ELEPHANT PASSAGE at the Zoo this weekend. It was cool, there were elephants. Only bummer was my toddler being subjected to a massive elephant erection. nothing a little therapy won't fix!

haha. thanks homo!

yeah i'm performing as Chants, electronics + live drums, looking forward to it and it would be fun to see some ilxors.

This is happening on Friday, too. Actually, Jordan, if you can make it anywhere else on Friday besides Unit E I recommend checking this out.

ha, probably won't be able to make it but that looks like a good time to me.

Uhh, so I missed this :(

The sweet siren call of love, lust and adventure led me astray.

How did it go?!?!

oh hey don't worry about it, it was cool! i really like that space and the show went well. met a lot of friendly young denverians too.

i have never seen a forecast high of 104 deg in Denver before :(

i'd venture onto 16th st mall to get an ice cream, but i am afraid i would vaporize just outside of republic plaza.

yeah it is fucking crazy out. whole state is on fire (in some places literally).
