I’ll just start by saying that on Friday I had the tune “Listen To Me” stuck in my head all day. Although it isn’t my favorite J Mascis song I hoped he played it. He opened with it Friday night. All day Saturday I had “Thumb” stuck in my head with the same hope. He opened with it Saturday night. It just gets better from there. The opening act Luluc was alright. A little mellow and simple for me, but a decent fit and the crowd liked them. The setlists had some overlap, but most of the songs he played both nights were songs I really wanted to hear twice (or every night). Alone, Ammaring, Get Me, Me Again, Every Morning, Drifter, Heal The Star. Actually, he played rocking versions of Drifter leading into Heal The Star both nights. They were my favorites both nights. Friday night had Little Fury Things, Out There (which was insane!) and closed with The Wagon. Saturday had Quest and ended with Just Like Heaven. Both nights were spectacular. They raised the stage for Saturday’s show so shorter people (not me) could see J better which was nice. What an awesome couple of nights. Thanks Larimer Lounge, there is a reason why I consider you my favorite venue.

Picked up Carleigh and we went to NorthGLENn park to meet up with Derek, Riley, Nolan, Garret and Bernie. There was a party of scooter kids which had me bumming immediately. I mostly just cruised the bowl without hitting coping. I guess a couple little grinds and tile carves. Carleigh did a rad polejam rock to fakie. Man it ruled seeing Derek again. He is one of the best dudes to be around. Such a good skater and goofs around a lot. Riley and Nolan were ripping. I skated a little in between phone filming a bit. Got a kickflip to fakie on the flat bank. Yippee.

Huge thanks to @whiskeytee for letting us skate today! Riley back d. #skatecolorado #carleighinarazorhelmet

Then we went to this bowl where I did nothing but freeze my ass off filming and then pose out when I was done filming. Nolan killed it. Intro clip soon. Riley went from not being able to carve the shallow end to doing feeble fakie over the stairs. Derek was so funny. He started from the bottom the first couple of times right into ollie to fakie. He would eventually roll in on the deep end. Gnarly. Carleigh carved over the stairs every try, slashed the deep end and almost got back 50 in the deep. She had the Razor helmet to prove it.

Then we went to a somewhat nearby hip spot where we all skated. I filmed Riley do a rad line. Carleigh mostly learned back 270s. Bernie forgot the war paint, but got close to double b/s flip. Nolan tried switch front wallrides. Derek went 100mph and tried to wallride the whole building. I did a tiny kickflip.
