Canceled Show In Denver

There is not much that a person can do about a freak snowstorm. They just happen and they happen more often than not in the Rockies. Unfortunately, it had to happen right when we have the sweetest show of all time scheduled at the High Dive in Denver. It was canceled because Langhorn Slim, the headliner for the evening, couldn't make it to Denver from the east. All roads were closed east, north, and south leading in and out of the Denver area. We managed to squeeze in from the west along I 70. One of the few highways that was open.

Here is Rory, 10 and 2, along I-70

After we heard the news, we scrambled to find another show in Denver. We called our booking agent, friends, family, and most of the bars in the area. No luck. Four or five band bills were already scheduled at many of the venues and the others were canceling their shows. Oh well, we had a beer to drown our sorrows and headed to Fort Collins to stay with our friend Doe Eyes.

To end on a positive note, Denver don't worry. We will see you on Halloween. All that work calling around Denver got us a show. More details coming soon.
