It was nothing but amazing! The time leading up to the concert though was nothing but crazy!

Since we got to Denver a little earlier than expected, we decided to grab a bite to eat at a restaurant that Kenton's company will be advertising for. Bombay Bowl (Spiced not Spicy Indian Food)
We then came out, ordered our meal, got to the cash register and debit card DECLINED.
Isn't that the worst feeling? We have a bad habbit in our family of not keeping very much money in our checking account. It leads to some embarassing moments but usually we are fine because we do a little transfer on our online banking. However, last night our online banking didn't seem to be working and it ended up with us exchanging and IOU for our meal- good thing we are honest people!
(We would have had them just take it back but since it was already made, they would have just thrown it away. So, now we get to send them money for it PLUS a big fat tip!)
By the way, AMAZING food! Here is some link love. . .BOMBAY BOWL
The only thing we were able to find out on our mobile banking was what our balance was. . . a measly $2.19
After the restaurant fiasco, we went from being early to a little late. We were desperately looking for a parking spot in order to see the show in time. Every parking garage we passed was either full or cost more than the $2.19 we had (with WARNING: WILL TOW signs all over the place!) We had almost given up hope realizing that finding a parking spot on a Friday night in downtown Denver that costs under $2.19 was pretty impossible- we were about to head home and drown our sorrows in water because we did not have money to buy Sparkling Cider. We were literally on our last limb when we saw an open spot! At first we thought, no that can't be a real spot, why is it not taken? we will probably get a ticket. Then we saw a parking meter next to it and realized it was a real spot but that it cost money just like everything else. Brittney jumped out of the car just to see how much it costs just out of curiosity- knowing that there was no way we would be able to pay for it. We were amazed when we found out it was $1 and hour until 10:00 and free from 10:00pm-2:00am. We looked at the clock and it was nearly 8:00pm. Our $2 paid for the 2 hours until 10:00 when it was free. It was literally all we could pay for! We parked, paid, and ran as fast as we could and got to the concert in time to see a few songs from the opening act- our favorite Brett Dennen.
We were excited to take pictures! Kenton took out his chunky DSLR guessed a few random settings and snapped the picture above.
Then some uptight usher lady said in a shrill voice, "No picture taking!" BUMMER! This is the only one we got! But, the concert was amazing! We loved Brett Dennen's quirky brilliance and Amos Lee's soulful rasp. We highly recommend seeing these guys live (although Amos Lee has a bit of a potty mouth) they are extremely talented and sound even better live!
Here are a few for your listening pleasure. . .
