Colorado Trip

.

We arrived at the show at 11:30 PM; Hiero would be on by 12:15. The Kingdom and Know Question played all three shows as well; Hiero closed all the nights. The club was pretty packed, but mostly with night goers not all acquainted with Hiero. There were also very loyal fans in the front who sang choruses and moved to the music. It was a good show, nothing spectacular but solid. A lot of new songs, good freestyles, and some classics as well. The audience responded well and people seemed to genuinely enjoy the show. At the after party (nudge-nudge) Del and I played Psychic Warrior and then I crashed out. Most everyone was up late herbing out. Unfortunately there was no liquor stores open past 1:30 and the liquor curfew blew so that was that, Del and I decided to plan ahead for the next show... enter DRIGGIDY! We all woke up at a reasonable hour and had some food. Del and I promptly visited the liquor store and bought some genuine Heineken from the store (red label and all). We kept it on the DL, jumped in the van and we were off to Vail some two hours away.

I drove with Domino, Plea, and Del. We arrived to a fairly large condo just outside of Vail. The location was cool. We all relaxed, Domino and Plea did the sound check, Me, Casual, Pep, Shoo, and Phes hopped in the van and drove around the surrounding mountains to take some photos. We drove for quite a while and found a nice spot for sunset. We then drove up a bit further and Pep did his best Prince Paul impersonation going shirtless in the snow. Casual is very funny. By the time we got back everyone was chillin' waiting for dinner. Del went to the store and bought some fresh lamb meat while Op and I ordered a pizza from Domino's. A local magazine came by to interview the crew and Del the meister chef caught the kitchen on fire. Incredibly, his lamb burgers were spared and the only damage was the mass amount of smoke in the air. Oddly enough, no fire alarm went off. Del served up his burgers as we took sips from our hidden beers. Half the crew left early for the venue and the rest of us arrived around midnight.
