Great Big Sea!!

Last Friday was the kick-off to a very hectic weekend, but what a wonderful way to start things! Great Big Sea came to Colorado Springs; they're here every 1-2 years, and I try to see them every time they come. If you're not familiar with them, they're a Canadian group who perform Irish folk music. It's tough to explain, but so much fun to listen to!!

They're likely to tell stories as well as sing, and they encourage the crowd to sing along. Because they're still more of a cult favorite, they're most likely to perform in small venues where the view is pretty great no matter where you sit.

Check the band out HERE or here's one of my favorite songs - Consequence Free

The rest of the weekend was spent with friends up in Ft. Collins, where we went to Waltz night (they have live music and people go, trade partners, and waltz to their heart's content between 8p-11p), ate Indian food, did a little shopping and generally lazed around.

Great times, lots of laughter and very hard to come back to Denver at the end of it. I'll admit, though, that I'll be ready to spend a laid back weekend in town here soon!
