are you "on tour" ? i'd think that there'd be some other thread resuscitation given that

kelpolaris i was there on halloween in 2010 too.
― homosexual II, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:10 (twelve years ago) link
i dated a guy who lived there. that was interesting.
jordan i'll be at your show. is there a FB event or anything?
― homosexual II, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:11 (twelve years ago) link
nah, just visiting family and i figured i might as well pick up a gig as long as i was out there. although i'm planning on doing other weekend trips this summer and telling people it's a "tour".
xp not yet, but when it gets closer i'll invite you on facebook and post the details here. looking forward to it!

Oh, and I went to a party there once. It's all coming together.
Sorry for my liveblogging my stupid thoughts here.

I'm going to a place called the Lost Lake Lounge sometime soon. Never heard of it. On E. Colfax?
― tylerw, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:19 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah. On Monroe & Colfax. It's pretty hipstery, but not disgustingly so.
― homosexual II, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:21 (twelve years ago) link
yeahhh, it seems as though the Howling Hex are doing a weekly residency there in June. I am the only one in Denver excited about this, I think.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:22 (twelve years ago) link
The same owners of Sputnik and Hi-Dive operate Lost Lake.
If that gives you an idea.
It's a bit more laid back and dingy, though.
― homosexual II, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:22 (twelve years ago) link
Howling Hex? Really? Are they from Denver???
― homosexual II, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:25 (twelve years ago) link
The dude just moved out here or something? He's playing the Lion's Lair on the 20th of this month too. Saw him a few weeks back at the larimer lounge. pretty bizarre, but great --- had a backing band playing norteno kinda rhythms while he played psychedelic freak out guitar. there were about 12 people there.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:27 (twelve years ago) link
somewhat OT: has hi-dive always used biker dudes as doormen?
― kelpolaris, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:29 (twelve years ago) link
hmm, i don't remember that. people working the door when i frequented there were frail indie types iirc.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:30 (twelve years ago) link
they're sort of a hybrid. jeans jackets w/ patches and mutton chops, garnished with vans old skools.
no reason for asking, just curious. well, sort of - i kinda just wondered if having biker-dudes as doormen as just a "legacy" the venue wanted to continue onward. the dudes there today aren't very imposing and i hadn't really known they were biker-bros until i asked, jokingly, if all employees had to wear the same vest.
― kelpolaris, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:42 (twelve years ago) link
did they answer by beating you senseless with a pool cue?
― tylerw, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:43 (twelve years ago) link
whereas they reveled to me their being part of a biker gang and i had to feign interest as i asked if they rode harley's, the only brand i'm familiar with and likely will ever be
im a shitty conversationalist.
― kelpolaris, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:44 (twelve years ago) link
a biker gang! kind of quaint. i bet they all crank bon iver while ridin' on their hogs.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 17:48 (twelve years ago) link
oh those guys are all door dudes all over town.
― homosexual II, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 19:24 (twelve years ago) link
its actually a biker guild

in other DENVER news, i totally saw the new TOYOTA ELEPHANT PASSAGE at the Zoo this weekend. It was cool, there were elephants. Only bummer was my toddler being subjected to a massive elephant erection. nothing a little therapy won't fix!
― tylerw, Tuesday, 5 June 2012 16:32 (twelve years ago) link
haha. thanks homo!
yeah i'm performing as Chants, electronics + live drums, looking forward to it and it would be fun to see some ilxors.

i have never seen a forecast high of 104 deg in Denver before :(
i'd venture onto 16th st mall to get an ice cream, but i am afraid i would vaporize just outside of republic plaza.
