Kim\" href=\"http:\/\/edpaffjr.com\" target=\"_blank\">Ed &amp; Kim<\/a>, so we had some level of preparation to do for that.\u00a0 We took Gabe up to Ronda&#8217;s house and dropped him off, then went and met Ed &amp; Kim at the airport.\u00a0 (I&#8217;m not entirely clear why, as they rented their own car, but I don&#8217;t ask questions.)\u00a0 Since it was getting into the afternoon hours, we went ahead and drove out to the general vicinity of the show, which was at Sandstone.\u00a0 (Or whatever they call it these days.)\u00a0 We had a tasty dinner at <a title=\"The Yard House\" href=\"http:\/\/www.yardhouse.com\/location.asp?id=21\" target=\"_blank\">The Yard House<\/a>, then headed out to the show.\u00a0 Incidentally, I don&#8217;t guess I even mentioned who we were seeing;\u00a0 It was an <a title=\"O.A.R.\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ofarevolution.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">O.A.R.<\/a> concert.\u00a0 Ed &amp; Kim had actually gone to the show the night before in Denver too, so they had some kind of groupie thing going on.\u00a0 Which, speaking of groupies, Ed mentioned that the Sandstone show marked the 90th time he had seen them.\u00a0 Ninetieth.\u00a0 As in ten less than triple digits.\u00a0 Whoa.\u00a0 After a good show (probably my 4th or 5th, I&#8217;ve got some catching up to do) we ended up back at the Yard House again.\u00a0 We stayed there until they booted us out at closing.\u00a0 (They close early.)<\/p>\n<p>We stayed at a hotel Saturday night, so we caught a little sleep and then pretty much just killed time Sunday morning until Ed&#8217;s flight home.\u00a0 Most of the morning was spent at Cabela&#8217;s;\u00a0 That&#8217;s always good for a couple of hours of wandering.\u00a0 They had a big sidewalk sale going on too, so we scored some deals.\u00a0 Unfortunately, I missed out on a stellar deal on a new tent.\u00a0 I was waffling on making an un-researched purchase on the spur of the moment, and it sold while I was ciphering.\u00a0 Just to add insult to injury I did a little online research when I got home;\u00a0 Yep it was a heck of a deal.\u00a0 Sorry Munkirs.\u00a0 After shopping we had a little lunch at Arthur Bryant&#8217;s (yum,) picked up Gabey, and called it a weekend.\u00a0 Hanging out with the sub-30 year old crowd apparently took it out of us;\u00a0 We spent the rest of the day on the couch watching bad movies and playing Sudoku.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I must have hit some kind of hole in the space-time continuum or something;\u00a0 It could not possibly be Monday already.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve been cheated.\u00a0 Somebody owes me a day, maybe two.\u00a0 It was even supposed to be a long weekend.\u00a0 I had Friday off if I remember right.\u00a0 Must not have spent it very wisely [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-422","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=422"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=422"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=422"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
