We just got back from the Aspen show at the Double Diamond. We called it a early night and left right after NP played since we have to be up at 6 AM for our flight back to Atlanta. I wish we had one more day to explore Aspen because it really looked cool, maybe next time around.

I thought it would be hard to beat the crowd in Steamboat Springs but the crowd in Aspen proved me wrong. The club was small and packed shoulder to shoulder with people. I’m quite sure it was probably some kind of disco in the past because the stage was set up in what used to be a sunken dance floor. Real early 80’s style. I thought at first we might be dealing with another “beautiful people” crowd like we had in Vail. But they turned into moshing animals as soon as NP got cranked up.

We arrived at the Double Diamond around 9PM just in time for the sound check. Ruyter looked so cute in her racoon hat, glasses, and sheriff’s star pinned to her sweatshirt. It was really cold in the place and Katie was freezing. We saw her later all bundled up in her coat and red scarf before their set started. Sometimes just seeing stuff like a sound check can be real exciting to those people standing around watching it. They warmed up with “High as Hell” and it was so awesome.

After they finished Ruyter, Katie, and Blaine came over…talked for a few minutes and signed some cd’s for us. Thank you guys. And I just want to say HI to Ruyter’s mom…and let you know we got some great pictures of your girl and everybody else too for that matter. 🙂 And one other thing…she’s kind and sweet and plays guitar better than any man I’ve seen. And she’s funny…I’m sure she will tell you about the dog poop box which we looked for but could never find…

I have to mention one other thing I saw that made me smile to myself cause it reminded me of Jeff…and that’s while we were sitting there talking about silly stuff like dog poop and how expensive everything was in Aspen…Blaine gently rushed Ruyter to hurry up cause they had to get ready to go on stage. He was really so sweet to her.

The show as always rocked and was full of energy. They had to play a shortened set so the Reverend could get on by midnight I guess. They left out “Fried Chicken and Coffee”…dammit. Blaine was extra good with his between song stuff and he let out some screams that would make any metalhead proud. Katie looks more and more comfortable and she smiled a lot more tonight. Ruyter was her sexy ass kicking self as usual. And Jeremy just looked real happy to see a joint land on stage and eventually in his hand. And he directed a drumstick towards Jeff who now happily has a third one to join the pair he already had from two previous shows.

I’m sure there is a ton more I could write and probably will later on when we get back to Atlanta and things calm down. But right now I need to get in the bed and get some sleep. It’s been one exciting week and we wish it wasn’t over, but we’ll save up some more money and get back out there again soon to continue the Nashville Pussy chronicles…maybe the New York or Florida leg of the tour.

We took several little 20 second videos…but they are huge files. I’ll post one here and hopefully you can take a look at it. You will need Quicktime to view it. I’ll try and figure out how to reformat it when I get back to Atlanta.

In the meantime… NP Live in Colorado Springs.
