What's going on...

The boys enjoying their free drinks on the brew tour.

Ideal Fathers are taking over our living room walls.

My new new hair do. :)

Monday I went in for a trim on my new do and ended up coming out with much shorter hair and some crazy color. I think I like it though.

Thursday Dave & Chad arrived in the late afternoon. I made my classic homemade spaghetti and we settled in for the night. Until... Jesse got a call from one of the local music critics wanting to do a little Q&A interview with him about the band. The article was posted online today in promotion of their big show tomorrow. I recommend checking it out.

Today was a long day for both Jesse and I. We woke up early and I drove him to work, so the boys and I could have the car. I took the boys to Golden for the Coors Brew Tour (their only requested stop while here) and then we did a little shopping. We bought somethings to help the band create a nice display for their merchandise. I've been working diligently to make it looks nice. I'll take photos as soon as I'm done.

Tomorrow Jesse has work again, a hair appointment, practice, and then the BIG show. The boys and I will most likely sleep in, then we thought we'd hit up the indoor glow-in-the dark mini-golf before we have to head to Jesse's show.

Hot off the presses...

Or maybe I should say web page. The latest Ideal Father's review is in and it's a good one. Jesse and the guys are thrilled. The reviewer is a very well known local writer and music critic. To win him over means you must be doing something right. Follow the link to read the review. This EP release is going to be an amazing show. I wouldn't miss it for the world.


P.S. I am doing much better now, but work is super stressful for both of us. We're both ready for a break. I can't wait for Dave to come visit.

A series of unfortunate events...

At least that's what I'm calling it. For the last 2 weeks I seem to be getting sick off and on. Jesse seems to be healthy as can be though. Which is both nice to see and irritating as all get out. For some time now we've both been taking a multi-vitamin everyday and I will admit it sometimes I forget. I forgot 1 time the other day and if this is what happens after forgetting 1 time then believe me I will never forget again. I love hanging out at home and relaxing, but I'm really getting sick of being cooped up inside. I have missed every nice day for the last 2 weeks. First it was a stomach thing a week ago, next I got a vaccine shot which seemed to give me a bad reaction, and now this... a very intense head cold. I am normally a very healthy person, but this all came on with a vengeance. Last night I was running a fever over 101 degrees and I felt completely out of it. This morning it's back down a bit to 99 degrees. I think my core temp always runs a little high, so I'm not that worried anymore. I'm probably going to call the Dr just to see what they say since nothing I've been doing seems to be working very well other than sleeping it off. Hopefully this will go away already and I will have time to build up my immune system again before our next round of visitors. David & Chad are scheduled to be here on the 14th which means I have about 2 weeks to get healthy and no it's not the swine flu for those of you who are worriers. Take care of yourselves.

And the final product...

Is finally here. The long awaited (in my house at least) poster for the EP release party. Jesse & Adam have been working hard on this one. Oh and lets not forget that I helped with the mustache o' words. :)

The time has come...

To show your support for Denver's local music scene. There is the link to vote. I know you won't know all the acts, but I think you can skip categories or even look up the names online to decide who is worthy of your vote. The important 2 to remember are Ideal Fathers for best band under Post Punk & DJ Soup for the best DJ under the non-traditional DJ category. Please help the guys out this could mean alot to them & they would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance everyone! :)

Your Vote Counts...

Ideal Fathers have been nominated for an award from Westword.com the local publication that loves them so. Here's the latest little ditty about how to vote for the guys. Online voting hasn't started yet, but when it does even you out of towners can put a good word in for the fathers. Remember every vote counts & having the honor of being called Westwords best means a lot around Denver. When Westword recommends a band, a restaurant, or in the case of our friend Matt a DJ people really listen. Matt won Westwords best up & coming DJ last year and was subsequently able to quit his day job & pick up enoug high paying gigs to make a living doing what he loves. Like I said every vote counts, even yours.

Thanks for voting!

Love,

Erin, Jesse, & the rest of the Fathers

Sketch...

Jesse has been working feverishly the last few days trying to finish up poster desigs for the big show in May. The other night he had me help him perfect his sketch and this is what we came up with. Well Jesse did the whole thing all I did was help him make the writing in the mustache. In case you are wondering what it says... Larimer Lounge. Which is the dive bar/venue where the guys show will be. It's also coincidentally the location of Jesse & I's first meeting and our first date. *Cue everyone saying Awww How sweet. I'm pretty impressed & I can't wait to see the finished product.
