It was kind of crazy, because a guy from Mark's hometown (Birnamwood, WI) lives in Denver, and his mom saw that we were going on this tour and told him that we were headed to Denver. It also happened to be around his birthday, so he set things up with Michelangelo's to have his birthday party there that night. What are the chances?? Plus I got to see one of my teachers from high school that moved out to Denver a few years ago. Emily had no idea that I did music, so it was such a treat to see her and get to show her that side of me.
While we were in Denver we were staying with one of Mark's good friends from college, Dan. Dan is a hoot. If you have ever met him, you would agree with me on that statement. The next day I stayed back at Dan's place to try and fix one of the vlogs that was giving me a hard time. I think one of the video files is corrupt and so it is messing up the timing of the video and sound in everything else. Totally frustrating. But Dan, who does graphic design from home, tried to cheer me up by bringing out his Lego truck. Yeah, this guy collects Lego. It's his thing. And he's really protective of it. But he even let me hold the Lego truck, so I knew he at least trusted me to some extent. While we were doing some work, Mark went over to Morrison to go for a bike ride at Red Rocks Amphitheater.
What a neat experience for him. My only regret is that I didn't go see this for myself. The pictures he took were awesome. And I've now put it on my bucket list to go see a concert there at some point in my life. He put together another montage from this ride and I highly recommend checking it out. It's really unlike anything else.
It was time for our last last show of the tour. Cafe de Paris in Louisville. It was awesome to end with good friends in the audience. Dan came out, Laura and her brother Chris and cousin Bonnie came, along with a bunch of people in a knitting group. Hahah. It was pretty surreal afterwards, and called for a giant hug. We did it.
We all drove back to Denver and went out for dinner as our last hoorah. What a great way to end out this trip. Surrounded by great friends, celebrating the journey of a lifetime.
The trip really flew by. 23 days. 13 states. 15 cities. 14 shows.
We were never in a place long enough to get bored. It was always on the move, always on the go. We got to see friends and family, and we got to meet some amazing people that blessed us with their incredible hospitality. The trip of a lifetime. It's so hard to process it all, because we saw so much in such a short amount of time. Thankfully we have these vlogs, pictures, and blogs to look back on to remember, to be reminded of something that undoubtedly changed our lives.
Thank you for being interested in our lives. For going on this journey alongside of us.
Until next time,
Jordan
