Today is dragging along at a slow pace. Typically Fridays fly by, but today I’m a little tired and just not feeling the whole work thing. This is probably due to me staying out a little too late on a school night. The occasion was a SoundRabbit show at this funky little place called the Mercury Cafe. I arrived a little early and walked up the steps to ask the door guy where the concert was going to be. Once upstairs I knew it wasn’t going to be there, since there was some sort of swing dancing going on. We finally concluded that the show was downstairs in a little room connected to the restaurant.

I chatted with the band while they were setting up, mostly about the tour that they just did that took them all the way out to the east coast and then back to Colorado. It sounds like they had a good time and are ready to take a similar trip next month. The show was good as always, though the manager tried stopping them after only a couple of songs saying that they were too loud. The problem was that they started off with some of the quieter tunes in the repertoire. Anyway, the show went on and the lady didn’t say anything else, she would just occasionally pop her head in and stare at everyone. It definitely toned down the night, but it was nice to see the band play again. I actually took my recording gear along and should have a tape online sometime soon.

Originally I thought that snow in April was crazy, but now that it’s May I might have to change my opinion. Yep, that’s right, it’s snowing again! This time it’s more than just a few flurries, we actually have a solid amount of accumulation on the ground. I heard on the radio this morning that up in the mountains they got fourteen inches overnight, so let’s just hope we don’t get all of that. Typically we don’t get it all but you never know. All of this comes after a nice day yesterday with temperatures in the 70’s and the sun shining. I guess we really don’t have a real spring season, for us spring is just a mix of summer and winter, which can change back and forth fairly often.
