I am in Denver visiting my sister and father.

We are going on a road trip visiting some great southwestern parks including Mesa Verde, Arches and Canyonlands.

On the trip will be me, Haleigh, my Dad and sister along with three dogs.

Thursday night I got to photograph two bands.  CTRL and Funker Vogt.

Well now I am doing a post about a bunch of different people that I never thought I would have in a post together.

I am not a fan of American Idol.  I will occasionally watch it and every now and then I will like one of the singers but not often enough to watch the show on a regular basis.

For day eight I was assigned to be back at the Scoot Inn.  This time it was to be for the entire night shooting all of the bands.  The club was hosting the Ubiquity/Wax Poetics showcase.
