I had a late lunch at Snarf's, a sandwich shop that was recommended to me by my friend Lizzie, who went to college here. It was delicious. Thanks for the recommendation, Lizzie.
After my regularly scheduled afternoon nap, Sara came home and then more people came over to hang out before the Hot Buttered Rum show. We had fun.
The show was awesome! The opening act was Mountain Standard Time. They were really good too. Here are some photos:
And here are some photos of Hot Buttered Rum. I'll give you two guesses why I have so many photos of the flutist/banjo player/player of whatever that weird guitar looking thing is called.
One thing that made it kind of difficult to take pictures was the thick cloud of smoke in the air. Check this out:
No, smoking is not allowed in bars in Colorado. Well, smoking cigarettes isn't allowed. I was pretty shocked by the blatant pot-smoking at the show. Everyone around us was smoking pot. At one point during the show, I felt someone's warm, moist breath on the back of my neck. When I turned my head to identify the source of the unwelcomed sensation, a thick wall of pot smoke hit me in the face.
Here are some photos we took during/after the show.

The next morning, Sara and I, and all of Sara's friends, went to brunch at Brasserie Ten Ten, where Sara's housemate, Kristin, works. I had the french toast. Kristin made sure they didn't put a huge scoop of butter on it. Thanks, Kristin. Here are a couple photos I took while we were waiting for a table.
Brunch ended up taking most of the day. It was so nice. We decided to reconvene at Sara's place in the evening to make dinner and have a music sharing party.
Then Sara and I went back to her place, I took my regularly scheduled nap, and we went to the grocery store. We made homemade pizzas. Yum. Monica and Kristin sang and played guitar, several people knitted. We all burned CDs for each other. There are awesome photos from Saturday night, but Crystal took all of them, so I have to wait for her to post them on Facebook before I can add them to my blog.
Yesterday, Sara and I went to brunch with her sister, Rachel, who also lives here. We went to The Walnut Cafe, a Boulder favorite, and I had the french toast. With 100% pure maple syrup! I hadn't seen Rachel in many years, so it was great to see her. This time brunch didn't last all day. After brunch, we went shopping. It was a hugely successful shopping trip. Great finds and great prices.
Last night, Sara, Kristin, and I just hung out at their place. Sara made dinner and we watched trashy television. And we watched Knocked Up. Twice. It was on TV and they aired it twice, so we really had no choice. That movie is hilarious.
Right now I'm trying to avoid the inevitable - getting out of this warm bed. I have to run some errands today. I need to get my oil changed, go to the tailor to get my new jeans hemmed, do laundry, etc. I think I'm going to have lunch with Kristin. We'll see.
Six more days.
