Last Weekend in Colorado

Friday night we had my going away party. It was a cowboys and indians theme, that turned out to be a cowboy bar crawl. We all looked pretty good, and started at Jenny and Jess' place with some champagne and pink flamingos. We started at Connor O'neils and did some dancing because they had a live band. That was the meeting place for everyone, but we ended up moving on to the Sundowner before most of them could get to us. I hate the Sundowner, but didnt want to go too far, otherwise I didnt think Beth and her crew would find us. Then we hit the Pub. Thats where I lost track of the evening. Too many goodbye shots and drinks were given to me at that point and the rest becomes flashes. But at least I didnt get too emotional.

Saturday night we did the Denver Patio Ride. It was absolutely fantastic! It is a 16 person beer bike that takes you to several bars in downtown Denver. We went to matchbox, the retro room, and 1up. At the Retro Room, we had their signature shots, the dill pickle shot. WOW, it tasted like pickle juice, but was pure vodka. DELISH! Taylor of course looked like he was going to cry, because he hates anything that includes vineager. 1up is a pretty cool bar as well. It is an arcade bar, and it has so many of the games from when I was little, and when my parents were in high school. It even has ski ball and giant jenga. When the ride was over, we tried to do the bars downtown, but since we had started so early, we headed home around midnight. But not without stopping at Tom's Diner for a french toast milkshake. Heaven in my mouth. Since we lost most of the group slowly throughout the night, I never hit an emotional moment. As long as I keep telling people I will see them again before I go, I avoid the actual goodbye until the very last moment.
