Not my particular beaut, above, but her name was Bessy and she was a Town and Country LXI.

 

And she got me and a whoooole bunch of my friends around town.

It wasn't too bad, just long. It took us 8 hours total. First section through the forest, then the boulder scramble section, and finally the ash section. The top is like kitty litter and it's two steps forward and one step back as your foot slides down. I hear the winter is a better time to do it. The top is easier to manage in the snow, and you can ski/slide down. Also, it's easier to get a permit in the winter.

 

Well this just convinced me to add it to my list...

Snow? Really?

 

6 to 14 inches now, lol.

 

spoiler only because it's big:

 

I usually watch the gif in you sig about 10 times before I can scroll past it.

Snowing like crazy here! ❄❄❄❄❄❄❄  Supposed to get like 10 inches? Yeehaw

I drank a lot last night. I've never typed that in here.

Crown and 7's with lime all night.

Ugh

 

 

im super hungover too and colorado is now in a winter storm watch. i really have no reason to leave the house today

I had such a long and shitty day at work. All I want to do is eat some food and sleep. Probably thai.

People are full on ridiculous .

I doubt they were contributing much to greater good anyhow.

wheres all the party people attttt

Desaparecidos, Built to Spill and Brand New tonight.

 

Saw this last week. Desaparecidos were great. Hadn't seen them yet though

My grandma has an avocado farm and I can't wait for guacamole every day

 

I've never been more jealous of anyone in my life.

That sucks. Wax Trax is my favorite record store in Denver. I found a lot of cool stuff there and it was all reasonable priced, unlike Twist and Shout.

I like twist and shout but prefer wax trax. Close proximity to my apartment, great collection, and reasonable like you said.

Those lines at twist and shout now will be insane. But Damien rice will be there .....

RSD is about helping bring business to record stores right???

That's a pretty big pack. It depends on what you really plan on doing with it. Any overnight trips, you would want a bigger pack. Also around here there are crazy temperature swings, especially in the spring and fall. It will be sunny and 50 in Estes and snowing just a little higher up. I don't know how helpful this is, but I do like Deuter.

 

Aye. I'm looking to start climbing to some summits in early August. Nothing overnight just yet.

the weather is still pretty crazy. We had 60 mph winds earlier and it's snowing right now. Tons of trees got knocked down and the Internet is out at my work right now.

 

Fuck. I know what we're in for then. The wind just started to pick up here.

I live in Estes Park. If you want to hike in Rocky Mountain National Park or go up Longs Peak, let me know. I've lived here my whole life and am super familiar with the area.

 

Sean I climbed Longs Peak a little bit last last weekend! I'm definitely wanting to! Do you have any recs on daypacks? I was looking at this Deuter - http://smile.amazon.com/Deuter-34244-33320-Futura-30/dp/B00CLJHBKK/ref=pd_sim_sbs_sg_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=0DNWPKR0JR5WMG9MQY21

 

But read elsewhere that a summer hiking bag is more around 22? I'm getting lost in the sizes for sure.

So glad this thread was bumped.  I've been training to get into better shape to start climbing CO's 14ers.  Anyone have experience with that? I'd love to hear some personal preferences as far as gear goes.

Did the opening segment not suggest...

 

Cersei killed Robert???

So annoyed. Candace and I have the same fight every few months and we just had it again. I can't see myself staying in Charleston for the rest of my life. Not without trying to make it somewhere else. She is so scared to leave her family and it's maddening. I just wanna say cut the cord but I'm not trying to be insensitive. It seems like my dreams are much bigger than she's willing to accommodate.

 

My family has always moved around. I used to joke that we like to live in as many states as possible. They sound really close, like mine is, and you just make it work. Calls/skype make the world of difference.

 

I know you know all of this, but it really is just cutting the cord. Could be a really great opportunity for you two to grow together.

 

 

 

 

On another note, this is cray - http://io9.com/the-photographer-who-took-this-picture-barely-escaped-w-1697051937

Many of you chose songs that I would have. Doesnt surprise me 

 

I'll contribute Cat Power - Good Woman because I have definitely lived this song and well, feels:

 

B is for Belize!

 

 

 

Love this show.

You need to check out The Black Angels.

Their Passover release is incredible.

 

I second the black angels. they're so dreamy.

 

 

anyone else watch john oliver? love his show. his recent episode featured edward snowden and it's very sobering.

The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

 

One of the greatest monologues in cinema, perhaps?

I always say it's not a problem it's a passion.

 

Had a 4 hour nap today following Easter brunch.
