Taos, NM to Boulder, CO

Thursday July 28, 2005

     8:08am  I woke up around 7:30 on David's couch on his porch. I kind of want to get out of Taos. I do not want to stay here. This is one of the most ignorant towns I've ever been to. Especially at this monkey-worshipping temple.

     8:27am  We're taking off. On our way.

                   We're taking 255 to Colorado. Which turns into something different. 129, I think. Then from there we'll hit 25.

     8:54am  Driving through Questa.

     9:16am  Just passed the sign that says Welcome to Colorado.

     9:29am  We're driving through San Luis, the oldest town in Colorado.

     9:47am  We just got stopped by these DOT guys. Department of Transportation guys fixing up the road, or something. What town is this? Fort Collins.

     12:02pm  We're driving through Colorado Springs.

     1:19pm  I didn't tell you. We are already in Denver. We parked over here on 20th and Stout Street. I'm going to stay in the car while David goes to court for something. I'm babysitting Sophie, David's dog. She's a beautiful Labrador. He's had her for ten years already. I want a cigarette. I'm going to go ask these grease monkeys across the street. They always have cigarettes.

                   Steve hooked me up with a cigarette at the tire shop across the street. Goodyear. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     2:30pm  Henry hooked me up with a cigarette over on Stout and 20th. I appreciate it, brother.

     2:45pm  We already left. David finished up at the courthouse. We're taking off now. Going to Boulder. David's phone number is 303-447-0933

     3:09pm  The eagle has landed in Boulder. I remember this place.

                   David dropped me off on Pearl Street Mall. I remember this place. I'm going to go say hi to everybody.

                   The beautiful people, the beautiful people. Let's see how long before I get recognized.

                   I remember last year Wayne smoked me out at the hammock shop(8-15-04, 12:06pm) in front of the old courthouse. Let's see if he still works there.

     3:19pm  This guy just came up to me and said, "Victor Antonio from San Antonio!" This guy Ivan I went to Red Rocks Amphitheater with last year(8-22-04, 10:34am).

     3:35pm  Brad hooked me up with a cigarette on Pearl Street Mall. I appreciate it, brother. Barbeque Brad. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     4:15pm  I hit up this Indian dude for my story. I asked him what the world's greatest problem was and he told me ignorance. I tried to tell him my shit and he was all, "You can just keep on your way," and walked off.

     4:18pm  Pete hooked me up with a cigarette on 8th Street Mall. Umm, I mean Pearl Street Mall. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     11:09pm  I am already walking to my squat from last year at the Flowerama(8-21-04). I hope it's still squattable. Let's see how long it takes me to get there. I left like five or ten minutes ago.

     11:16pm  I walked all the way to 20th. I really hope it's the way to go.

     11:26pm  I am at my squat. Whew, it's so cool that I can still crash here.

     11:33pm  I am making my bed back here behind the flower shop. Wow, guess what I found back here. One of my old worn-out tennis balls from last year!

Next day..
