DENVER & ESTES PARK

Robbie and Lesley flew in at the same time. We checked out our old art school RMCAD at its new location. When we nt to school it was two shitty office buildings florescent lighting. Now they have their own full campus with historical buildings and a watertower close to Casa Bonita.

After, we headed to Nieve's parents house to visit them and her grandparents. Lesley was pretty excited that they had an accordian to try out.

Robbie wailed on it too


Eat at Watercourse if you go to Denver, especially if you are vegetarian


Nice work on the walls by Ravi Zupa


Headed with the whole in town crew to Estes Park for Jim and Tina's wedding. We started the trip off good with a 30 pack and a bottle of whiskey sess in our cabin til 9am.

I don't think Nieve knows what I wrote on her hands yet



Dan has way better photos of the debauchery and most of the trip here.

Lesley woke up and made us breakfast. "Lesley for president!" - best quote of the trip.


Took the beer for a hike and ran across these two

Met up with White Nick at his house. Apparently a meth lab blew up across the street at 4am that morning. They were still cleaning up and testing substances at 3pm.


Front porch view of the action. Nick and Rosy.


Nick and I headed to the mountains to escape the heat and get a little fishing in. We drove around on mountains for hours before we finally found (Animal) Chin's Lake. Saw some trees with fresh bear markings on 'em too.


Nick on the fly


There was a tree snag or 7

Went camping with our friends Adam and Erica outside of Bailey, CO. Here's a close up of the state flower, the Columbine.

WHY NOT RIDE A TRAIN?

Rosy had never jumped on a train. So on our ride back from the edge of West Oakland I got her to hop on one. Seems like something everyone needs to do at least once in their life.

Cables, wires, lines and arrows. I love the streets of SF.


Ended up at 111 Minna for some reason. These portraits were all made up of objects directly relating to the subject. Pretty fun to look at.
