WestWord Music Festival 2011
This weekend we arrived late at WestWord Music Fest and I missed the only band I was really looking forward to check out during the festival. It was the second time this week that we missed a concert. On Tuesday, I fell asleep in the couch and we missed Cake (which must have been awesome)!
I got the chance to see only Murder by Death while seating in the grass and seriously people watching. We got a Tom Cruise mask from the booth promoting Films at the Red Rocks and I spent the whole day bar hopping with Tom. I really wanted James Franco (they are showing Pineapple Express this year - a peculiar "family" film choice - that only happens in Colorado!).
It's Monday!
It's Monday, time to put on your best shoes, shinning pants and prepare to dance!
I told you, it's a summer of mettalics!
Summer of metallics
Metallics are trending right now. I’ve seen plenty of girls wearing gold pants at this point. The thing I like the most about this H&M collection this summer is that it reflects what girls are wearing and transforms it! Check out these brass inspired pieces and the silver pieces! I loved it! And I think it goes so well with the delicate white pieces and the fringes! It’s just a great combination!
WestWord Music Festival 2011
Last year it was our first time visiting the WestWord Music Festival in Denver. The festival is unique, like nothing I have seen before (maybe SXSW is the one comparable festival?): the local weekly newspaper that belongs to the Village Voice group, WestWord, selects plenty of local bands and a few of big names that will play in the main stage and around it, you will find various clubs with live music all day.
Your wristband guarantees access to all the venues and we spent a Saturday afternoon walking from one place to the other and ended the night in the main stage checking out a few of the headliners.
Next Saturday we are heading out again, to check out all the bands, specially Young The Giant! Here is the full lineup for this year's installment.
Here are a few images from last year:
Family time
My mother and step-father were in town this past weekend, visiting and celebrating her birthday!
It was great and I could only wish 1- I had more time to spend with them; 2- they could stay longer (two months is not asking much, is it?).
They took the time to go to the local museum Wings Over the Rockies - which is located in the old Lowry Air Force base. My step-father, been an Air Force Veteran loved it! We also visited Colorado Springs for the first time. While the town looks like has a world of nothing to offer, we visited the gigantic Air Force Academy and stopped by the famous Garden of the Gods, which I found to be a little lame.
Here are a few snippets from a special weekend:
