The rest of the photos from the Fellow Citizens tour to Texas and back. I learned that touring with a band is the most fun thing you will ever do and that Texas sucks a lot in the summer.

We have video from all of the shows that will be posted eventually.
Most previous delays in posts are because I am lazy but I will be attributing the current dearth of online entertainment to me being on tour with Fellow Citizens in Texas. Don’t take it personally, I just don’t like to use a whole lot of internet tethering on my iPhone while on the road without teh internets. I’ll post photos and such later but you can check out my twitter feed for more instant updates.
Last night we had an awesome show at Meow Wolf in Santa Fe New Mexico. Hung out with some really cool people after wards at an apartment over storage units.
Tonight we are in the sweltering paradise of Loo-bock Texas at Bash Riprock’s with Deer Tick and Dawes. I gorged myself on a 16oz steak at The Triple J Chophouse and Brew Co for dinner and am having to roll myself around to get places. Thank god for diligent waitstaff and Shiner Bock beer.
7/2 Fellow Citizens. Boulder Theater, Boulder.
Awesome show.
Enjoy.
I didn’t take my camera in for Leftover Salmon on Friday or Particle on Saturday but snuck it in later on Saturday.
6/6 moe, Snowmass.

Saturday plans changed a lot but I ended up hanging out with the Fellow Citizens at the Meadowlark for a while and then headed back to Sputnik for the rest of the night.

I was going to hit up the Rockies game on Tuesday with the big Boulder crew that headed down but then I remembered I had promised Lauren that I would see Manchester Orchestra with her. It would have been a sweet game to see since they beat the Astros 12-1 but the concert ended up being the right choice. Talked to Mike (owner) for a bit about old times and the music industry in general. On starting a venue he said, “get your head checked out and then think about it some more.” Mr. Ben Davis was there to see the show too even though it was his day off from managing.
The first two opening bands were decent but the good times really started when the band Fun when on stage. It’s made up of former members of The Format and they played a bunch of Format songs which were really good to hear live again.
5/12/2009 Fun. Marquis Theater, Denver.
The Marquis was packed for what ended up being a sold out show by the time Manchester Orchestra came on.

Afterward I met up with Jen and the rest of the crew for some drinks on a rooftop patio at 22nd and Market. Let’s just say that it has a pretty good view.

Another night at the Hi-Dive on Sunday for Margot and the Nuclear So & So’s with my friends, Fellow Citizens, opening. I got the whole FC set on video which I will get around to uploading eventually.
I gave Kristen my +1 on the guest list and was finally able to make up for telling her she was on the Bill Maher list and then not having a ticket after all.
Fellow Citizens rocked as usual and the upgraded projector show was sweet.
Margot and the Nuclear So & So’s were very awesome and I am really glad I went.
