Widespread Panic Sunday Live Blog

12:30 sorry for the lack of updates last night. I could not log into blogger yesterday afternoon. Also, I had a shitty night on fri night cause the girl I took to the show had a meltdown during the second set and I just wanted to enjoy the sat night without distractions.

Today we are celebrating Lissy's birthday. She is driving in from summit county and will likely bring some needed energy to the group.

The story from last night is some car trouble. We ran out of gas on Broadway in Boulder about 100 feet from the gas station. Maybe because of that the car would not start in the lot leaving the show. It was a fun little adventure. What ended up happening is that Nicole left with a friend to go get a car from her parent's house, while the rest of us sat in the lot and drank. About an hour after the lot was completely empty, Aaron cranked the car and it started. Our trip to Denver to see a Michael Jackson cover band was aborted but it was still fun.

I thought the show last night was great. The highlight of the first set no doubt was "life during wartime." It got everyone singing "this aint your party, this aint your disco..." To each other during the song and continued into setbreak as people passed each other in line to food, beer and bathroom.

Second set was a good one too. It was the first time for me to hear Panic do "fairies wear boots" and they killed it. The segues were smooth and the band was tight all night.

We are eating at Foolish Craig's in boulder and will be heading out to Red Rocks about 1:30-2. The show starts at 4pm today. The word is "never miss a sunday show."

1:30 the food is just what the dr. Ordered. There are 2 men in their 40's sitting next to us and we overhear their conversation; they are annoying. One of them is wearing rollerblades at the table. You know the hardest thing about rollerblading? Telling your parents you are gay.

3:45 quite the chaotic scene getting in. Lots of kids looking for tickets, the most I have ever seen outside on a sunday. Its hot. Sarah cupcakes and I are walking around looking for an extra.

4:00 I am in but Sarah Cupcakes and uncle ted are still out looking for a ticket. Cupcakes gets in but Uncle Ted got shut out.
