I assume/hope your sister's house survived, Eric (and your sister and her fam, obvs.) The fire came within half a mile of my mom's house (she lives in Louisville) before the wind died down and the snow started.
I am sorry I missed the show at Tyler's house. I could have stayed with my sister.

thought this revive was going to be about Boebert/Beetlejuice.
There was even another Joan Shelley house show in 2019! Maybe we'll do it again next year ...
In the meantime, I'm still playing in random bands out here! This is our next show. I've never been to the venue, but I'm a little worried about them throwing around the terms "circus arts" and "cabaret" ...

Hah, no, I was just feeling a little homesick today, even though I've been away for more than 30 years. I really am curious as to what happened with Eric's sister's house. I guess more than 1000 homes were lost in that fire. Prices in the Boulder exurbs are out of control.

yeah they really are — i definitely couldn't afford it these days, glad I got here when I did.

When I was in school at Boulder in the mid- to late 80s, Longmont was a cow town, where a few students chose to or had to live. It's been completely transformed.
Same for downtown Denver, although it's still got the feel of a small city.

Oops, never did follow through there, but my sisters house made it fine. They were basically a block away from the evac zone, and houses as nearby as a mile did go up, but their house was safe, and they donated a bunch of clothes and toys to families who lost everything

a crazy / awful event — still seems kind of unreal. it's been a fairly mellow year out here (knocks on wood) so far in regards to wildfires.
haven't heard of dead comets! but they do seem adjacent ... there are some decent musical things going on in denver and the surrounding area.
This guy we're playing with in a couple weeks is good: https://aarondooley.bandcamp.com/album/the-international-disassociation-of he's touring around the midwest and east coast pretty soon
m. sage is out here, playing some shows and putting on some of those outdoor / ambient Floating gigs.

Hi I live in Longmont now, and I'm a married person with (step)kids. I love it here!

HI! That place needs you. By which I mean every place.

Hi! Good to hear.

homo II is in longmont?! we've gotta cross paths someday ...
I'm playing a show tonight in lafayette — battling a lame cold, so things will be extra woozy.
