Day 10: Quixote's

Our 5th show of the tour was at another local Dead bar called Quixote's True Blue - very similar to Sancho's, except it has two actual stages and is much more spacious. We had actually heard a lot of great things about Quixote's even before we came out to Colorado and were very excited for this set. But first! van maintenance!!

Driving 3,000 miles since Wilton, it was time for an oil change, a tire rotation and even to change our brake pads which Sam and I took care of for a few hours in the morning.



We headed to the venue around 7 pm and starting setting up for our two hour slot from 10-12. It was set to be our only 18+ show in Denver, so lots of Ethan's friends were able to come out and see us, very fun!

I just want to take a second to note that Ethan has been absolutely phenomenal playing bass with us. He learned all our songs in just a few weeks and is playing ferociously every night, having an absolute blast, we couldn't be happier to have him aboard for these shows.

The show ended up being fantastic, we impressed a lot of folks and had a crowd of about 30, half friends / half random locals. It was a fun night bolstered by the fact that after we finished, two more bands were playing, one after us on the main stage, and another on the smaller side stage. It was nice to enjoy music from a spectators position for a little while and definitely super fun to dance and relax.

In addition, we were quite affected by the death of Merle Haggard and decided to pay tribute by covering his song "Mama Tried" at the show, it was a truly special moment for us. RIP Merle.
