reviving so denver people know about jordan's show

aka me, kelpolaris and tylerw

and hunt3r who already said he can't go

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).

omg just remembered my 6 and 8 y/o are going to bandimere speedway dragstrip as a summer camp field trip today. wonder if it will be hot at high noon/104 deg/70 acres of blacktop. gonna have to pick them up using a spatula.

wow yeah, that is going to be intense today. hope they hydrate!

my cousin's band is playing at the lion's lair tonight! i'll be there... this is them: http://socialstudies-music.com/
DENVER

love the LL, it's only 3 blocks from my house... but I promised I'd cast some hoodoo spells tonight and go see my coworker DJ on S. Broadway :(

denverinos! all three of you. i'm playing at the bluebird theater this friday... we're opening, so we go on early. come on out! http://www.bluebirdtheater.net/events/detail/242414

can we get a denver role call? surely there are more of us now a days.

yoooooo. i've been in denver about 4 years. i live in highlands right near gaetanos. i'm kind of a shitty ilx poster but marginally less shitty irl, most of the time, i think, and would really sincerely like to meet up with some denvlxrs sometime, if that is the intention here. let's coordinate a thing!

It's me and tylerw and kelpolaris and that's all I'm aware of!

I'm in denver right now. Actually playing the walnut room tomorrow. Come out denverinos!

I'm staying in and being a weirdo instead. Sorry tyler ;_;

every time i see this thread revived i momentarily think that it's about the show 'denver: the last dinosaur.'

so morrissey lived in denver for a bit?? with his aunt or something?

I didn't know this!

Justine Frischmann of Elastica fame also lived in Boulder for a while, not too long ago.

Yeah
Morrissey was out here as a teen I think. Hard to imagine! I'll take this opportunity to plug another show, next Friday at the hi dive! Come in out we sound like the smiths. Seriously.

I'll be back in Denver and going to the Destroyer show on 11/20 at the Larimer. Give hello if you're there!

hey denverinos, if you aren't doing anything tonight, i'll be at the hi-dive playing w/ distant correspondent - http://www.hi-dive.com/event/390945-mark-mallman-denver/
come say hi! i'm the bearded bassist.
also, can i recommend a restaurant? the populist on larimer (kinda down the street from the larimer lounge). ate there a month or two back and I'm still thinking about it. that neighborhood is so weird now -- mostly in a good way.

omg i love mark mallman!!!

yeah! he is great. kind of a weird fit for us, but i'm not sure who would fit w/ the mallman really.

this thread is just turning into me plugging gigs, but ... bizarrely we're playing from 8-10 tonight at the Southwest Rink at Skyline Park. You know, the free ice skating rink on the 16th Street Mall. It is going to be weird!

someday my schedule is gonna line up for one of these!!

this sunday! 1st show w/ my new band, forces at work. playing w/ a ridiculous bill - new bums (donovan quinn, ben chasny), and the mighty howling hex (poster to the contrary we go on first)! we pretty much started the band so that we could open for the hex, so we might break up after this.

surely by now denver's population has grown with more ilxors?

haha maybe not!
what a summer in denver. chihuly at the gardens, that weird video game thing downtown, laserium at the denver museum of nature & science, red rocks, legalized weed....
hey we're playing another show this week too if anyone wants to come say hi: www.hi-dive.com/event/559907-web-sunsets-denver/

coloradoans - this is happening at my house, and you're invited! for reals.

ROLL CALL

denver has become much more populated, tons of "PROGRESS', the dumpster pic above from 2005 was taken in a neighborhood that is now very trendy and hip, and is coincidentally a block away from my office.

Bookmarked this thread because I'm willing a move to Denver into existence.

Glad the whole omelette thing got sorted out early on in this thread. Stay hammy, cheesy n' eggy, Denver!

cant believe no one on ilx has moved here yet, come on ppl

Get out here Eric — Colorado is very very nice.

15"-40" in boulder. christ! what a weird-looking storm.

The dry weather last week was the calm before the storm.

A lot of water is expected to fall from the sky over the weekend, especially over the Central USA.

Some areas could see feet of snow. Some could see flooding.

Will this be a #drought buster? We’ll see.

On edge as my sister and her family live in Lafayette ... seems like they're too far north to be in danger, but still, damn.
