These are from Steamboat Springs, CO at ‘Levelz’. For a day to day diary of the trip go to Miss Chicky’s. More pictures to follow as we get them downloaded to the computer.

These movies are long downloads unless you have high speed shit, but they are worth it.
(6/14/17 update from mc – these movie clip files are from 2002 and they are dead links but when I find them I will bring them into current time for people to see again. Part 1 of the Steamboat Spring photos are missing and I’ll have to find them too on one of BMF’s computers and repost but down below we have part 2 found at BMF’s original Whatever Happened to Rock and Roll website. Woo!
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.
1. Talking to Jeremy before the show.
2. Talking to Ruyter after the show.
3. Getting awesome pictures of me & Ruyter.
4. Talking to Katie after the show.
5. Miss Chicky getting up close to the stage with me the whole show.

1. Finding out some Jeremy facts before the show.
2. Ruyter coming by and promising me she would “take care” of Jeff.
3. Ruyter doing as she promised.
4. Getting right up close to the stage.
5. BMF protecting me from the dirty dirty mosh pit people. 🙂
The show last night was the best one by far…my ears are still ringing…but more on that later. We gotta get out of here and get on the road to Aspen before we get snowed in…which would be great but then we would miss our last night of Nashville Pussy. And that ain’t gonna happen.
Nashville Pussy @ Levelz Club in Steamboat Springs, Colorado
The drive to Steamboat Springs was incredibly beautiful. So far Steamboat Springs is the best place we’ve been. If we are going snowmobiling this will be the place to do it…if I can talk Jeff into it. Boulder is great and Vail is pretty good if you have LOTS of money. As for Colorado Springs…just about any other place on earth would be my favorite. Nothing personal but anybody living there should move. Sorry to be so harsh.
We have performed our pre-show rituals and are just on our way out to see NP at the Levelz Club (right up there) We saw the Reverend HH’s bus pulling in right after we took that picture and the club manager said NP were not schedueled to arrive until 7 for soundcheck. NP isn’t in a bus but a white van with a U-haul behind it. I wonder if they drove all the way from Atlanta? If so…goddamn.
2. Talking to Ruyter after the show, getting the info on Tracy, and Ruyter asking me to post the information on our website…(which she loves by the way.)
3. The security guards actually inviting me to get between the barricades to take pictures when usually they are telling me to get back. (see #1 for the reason why)
4. Getting another drumstick. Now I have a pair.
5. Seeing Blaine get real crazy into it…jumping up and down with the mike in one had, beer in the other, and the guitar strapped across his chest.

1. The official photo pass was indeed cool.
2. But getting searched for weapons at the door was even more better.
3. Getting some video especially the ones with Blaine’s “You Give Drugs a Bad Name” speech and the one with Jeff watching the Ruyter. I think he has a crush. 🙂
4. Gettin lectured by the guy for taking too many pictures of Ruyter and not enough of Katie. But…But…Katie doesn’t take her shirt off. Yet.
5. Watching Jeff from the other side of the stage get a chance to talk to Ruyter and feeling a little jealous, but really being happy for him cause he loves this whole roadtrip and the rock and roll thing so much. And I know he loves me with all his heart.
