We got to play one of the coolest gigs ever this past saturday. I need to preface this by telling you about our previous show at this place called The Larimer Lounge in Denver. We were playing with our friend’s from Portland; Wizard Boots. They are really fun and super roudy dudes, who are very charismatic performers…more than just musicians, they are like comedians (and actually really hilarious) on stage. Anyways, we played a show with them, and that is how we booked this private party.

Kent and Dave are a fabulous couple that live in a GORGEOUS townhouse in Denver. We didn’t know them, and no one in our band actually met them but they contacted us a few days after our show and asked us to play for them at a private party. Once they told us how much they’d pay us, we were pretty much sold…although we still had no idea what to expect. We showed up with all of our gear in tow, and it was pretty fantastic. I’ve never seen a more swank place…decked out in super mod fashion, tons of music iconic and artistic iconic pieces…it was like every nook and cranny of the place (to the most minute detail) was thought about and designed. This is something that I can truly appreciate! The show went off great! FB4K (us) played for about an hour and a half total, and everyone was gushing after we were through…it was such a nice treat to play for people who actually wanted to hear us, and pay us a great amount of money to do what we love.

We had a really busy week this past week. After getting back from Florida, we have had very little time to just relax in our abode. We had a charity event for Jake’s work, kickball-sunday-BBQ-fest, and then tons of work to accomplish for the “Parent’s” visit. They came in Wednesday evening, so we had just enough time to get the final touches to the house done before their arrival. We just moved into a way-to-large house, and can actually accomodate guests now, which is kind of nice.

They came Wed. and spared no time planning away our home; where they would make improvements, adjustments, etc. Oh and let me preface by saying that we only plan to live here for the year, we are probably going to be buying a place next year, more appropriate in size for just me and Jake, so we dont really care that much about putting more into this house…but none-the-less, it was really nice having help doing those cumbersome household things that neither myself nor Jake is any good at.
