Wednesday was our last day in Colorful Colorado and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! In the evening we played at Road 34 in Fort Collins, so we spent the day taking in the FoCo sights (and brews). The infamous New Belgium Brewery, makers of Fat Tire, has free tours and tastings, so we stopped there first. We got to see inside the huge vats where the grains are soaked, crushed and heated, try some small-batch unreleased micro-brews, and go down the New Belgium slide--unfortunately, the big metal indoor spiral slide ride came after a pretty intense round of tastings. . .

After we left New Belgium, we stopped for a sandwich and headed to the lesser known O'Dells Brewery. There we ran into Dennis the DJ from KRFC who interviewed us the last time we toured through. After some catching up and even more tasty beverages, we decided to take a quick nap before heading over to load in.

Road 34 is always a great stop on tour; we've made some friends that we're happy to see every time we play there. After an all-out double-set show we had to pack up and load out in record time to start the drive to eastern Nebraska and try to beat the storm that was about to dump 12" of snow on Colorado. . .we escaped just in the nick of time!

Yesterday we drove through the snow and fog to Omaha where we played to an enthusiastic crowd at the Hideout with Death to a Taxpayer, Madness Sale, and the Abyss. Today it's backwards a little bit to Lincoln to play at one of our favorites, the Box Awesome. . .
