It’s the Glass Ceiling at FoCoMX


Fort Collins Music scene

Linda, Audree D. and Hilary of the Glass Ceiling on stage at the Alley Cat Friday night for FoCoMX. We checked out this event last year, but we missed seeing this three-piece all female rock band due to some last minute schedule change.

I miss Jimi Hendrix

This is just a quickly pasted together psychedelic editing of the Glass Ceiling performing ‘Voodoo Child’ on the first night of FoCoMX.  So many bands, so little time!

Brasileirinho!

In Wyoming again:

At the  University of Wyoming

It was a weekend of Brazilian music with workshops with Marcus Santos and even more dance instruction from Gisele Dias.  So far it seems that there are many more supporters of this kind of music than in Colorado. Why is that?

With Gisele Dias

Here Gisele is doing some dancing. Some members of Fort Collins’ premier samba band Bloco em FoCo did some dancing of their own behind the bar.

And Patrick Doran

There was this picture in the hallway at the Alice Hardie Stevens Center that looked pretty cool. It was thought to be a picture of  Patrick Doran, one of the first hotel owners in the area.

It has been moved!

Way back in July they said it was going to move.

It’s GONE!

Eostare’s Day

Monday, April 5th, 2010

It means you make a mess in the kitchen:

Here the table is set with the traditional Denver Post covering

The all great and powerful King Soopers came forth and made possible ten plus two magnificent as the moon is full; The cosmic eggs of creation. We are truly blessed; Spring is here!

Here we attempt to color eggs using whatever we had  in the cupboard.

Apparently we had lots of methods for decorating eggs

Duncan Madog

It’s still Duncan’s day; All week he gets to dress up in whatever he wants to wear!

One Year of Dog

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

One year ago today we got Dog!

Duncan Madog with Santa Claus

The Duncan has been with us for one year. He’s been to most of the doggie events in Fort Collins like “Bark in the Dark”, “Annie the Railroad Dog”, and “The Pooch Plunge”.  He’s been on local TV and in the papers at least three times and everybody on our block knows his name. He’s got over 1500 Facebook friends.

What a dog!

April 1st SWF

This was Harpee’s sound effects board. If it works on your computer, you should hear some sounds if you press keys one through eight on your keyboard.
