Ok, so we left off in Leadville and headed to Asssssspen from there. This is home to Chris Erickson, Jake Sakson, Will Cardamone and Nick Devore. Everybody was in town except Nick who was off at school in AZ. All the guys had waited to watch the show on the big screen at Belly Up. 

It was fun to see their reactions and hear the home town crowd of 170 cheering for their local boyz. 

The CAIC raffle was stacked, including a pair of BD Zealots. They raised $$ to keep current avalanche information rolling in from the mountains.

We always seem to end up at Little Annie’s when we go to Aspen, must be the cheep beers and shots. Chris Erickson, Will Cardamone and the brothers Howell.

No you are not mistaken, those are ketchup/mustard shots.

Pardon me, but do you have any Grey Poupon?

Goes down smooooooth…….

Sorry guys I had to post those pics, too funny to hide in the vault.

We had a nice little show in Glenwood Springs the next evening at the local rec center. I forgot to shoot any snapshots of the event, but picture 60 people drinking free Big Sky Beer and watching the show. 

We headed over Kebler Pass into Crested Butte in front of a storm and spent the next day enjoying the town and the snowfall.

Hit up the coffee shops.

And the library.

Then it was showtime at The Pub. Great building, bar and staff, thanks for having us.

The legendary MacMillan Brothers and local ripper Sydney Fuller brought their friends out for the evenings festivities. Not a bad turnout despite a negative ad campaign from the local theatre.

We headed out of town riding a similar storm to the one that brought us in. 

Next stop was a visit with our sister and family in Albaquerque New Mex! 

It was a nice break from life on the road even though we pulled some muscles playing Wii. Swayze days!

Here is Hannah modeling the latest PW fashions. I guess your famous now you sweet cup of chocolate milk you. 

After a day off we shot North to Santa Fe for our first visit with official PW tour. The local shop did a great job of spreading the word.

And an even better job at popping the free beers donated by, yes you guessed it, Big Sky Brewery. We played FLAKES across the street at the funky little Jean Cocteau theatre. New towns are always a surprise, so it was nice when 80 extremely excited folks came away highly stoked for winter. 

Turning North en route to our home in SLC, we stopped into another new town for our final show on the road. Pine Needle Mountaineering in Durango stepped up to offer their sweet shop as a venue.

We turned this….

Into this….

There is Nick Devore on the big screen, he also made an appearance in the flesh. Big thanks to Luke for spreading the word and rallying the local tele crew. 

Jonah came down with his annual road illness, so we booked it home asap.

Safe and sound, but tired and well worn from the road we pulled into SLC mid day and uneventfully celebrated the end of another great movie tour with a high 5. 

Thank you to everyone who helped make this the most successful and well attended tour to date!! 

I could go a long time without seeing this movie again, but we do have one final show in our backyard on Dec 4th at Harry O’s in Park City. This will be a fun show with  most of the “FLAKES” in attendance. Tickets are $10, show starts at 8pm with doors at 7pm and two reggae bands to follow. 

Be well,
