we miss you grandpa (and kathy)
My good friend Travis and his buddy Ben are on a roadtrip across the country. Ben is visitng Travis for 2 weeks from the UK, and I managed to talk them into stopping in for the weekend to visit...lucky us!
Roommate Anthony and I loaded up in the van with them, along with our friend Leah and her friend (now our new favorite friend with a hard to remember name) STAVROS, and we headed to the Frozen Dead Guy Days Festival in the mountain town of Nederland, CO.
An explaination I found online about Frozen Dead Guy Days:
In 1989, grandpa Bredo, from Norway, wasn't doing so well, and his grandson Trygve didn't want to lose him. One thing led to another, and he wound up frozen, shipped to L.A. for some high-tech packaging, and then shipped up to Nederland where he was stored in his daughter's shed. Or so the story goes. When she didn't finish building her house and was still living in it, the town tried to make her move out - but that's when the question of frozen grandpa Bredo came up. I'm sure that was a town meeting I would have loved to attend! The rest of the story is on the web, but to make a long story short, a radio station and various other individuals and companies have helped out, and grandpa is still doing fine - fine as he can be, anyway, until they find a way to re-animate him.
In the mean time, Nederland likes to throw a party in his honor each year.
The festival features polar bear plunge (which we missed by about 30 seconds), a slow motion parade, really great bluegrass music, locally brewed beers, coffin races (teams of 6 or so racing through obstacle courses while carrying a friend in a homemade coffin), and REALLY great people.
So yea, there really is a frozen guy in a tuff shed (which we unfortunately did not find time to go see the shed...) in Nederland, CO....and we went to celebrate....
The drive to Nederland:
The man himself, Stavros:
Travis:

Everyone packed into the van on the way up

Nice embrace...
Mountain Standard Time...they were fantastic
Group shot, asian tracie
Coffin Races..one team (that i unfortunately did not get a good photo of) was a spoof of the octuplet mom being carried by a bunch of babies...pretty funny
leah!
this girl was TERRIFIED. and rightfully so, half of the coffins fell apart or tipped over throughout the course
grandpa got out of the shed long enough for a smoke break and this photo...
WE MISS YOU GRANDPA!!!

Today is the end of my first official weekend as a Colorado resident. Anthony and I were talking about how I feel like we're on vacation because everyday consists of us going driving around and figuring out something new to do. Whether it's drive to the mountains or go to some (what I think is a )really shady fast food fish taco place, nothing has taken much of a schedule yet.
I have a feeling this adventurous spirit to be close to the mountains as much as possible will subside eventually, but I'm enjoying while it's here.
Friday we went to the goodwill by our house, then after leaving I told Anthony we should drive to the Mountains...We ended up driving a little over an hour to Manitou Springs, taking a few pictures, and having some beer in a little mountain outfitter store/bar that Leah had recommended to us.
After that we decided to go get some dinner...right when we walked in the door this lady was like "are you guys hungry"....why yes...."well, my name's kathy, and my going away party is tonight. i'm moving to Tennessee. We have PLENTY of food so PLEASE eat up"
......WE'LL MISS YOU KATHY!!!!
and now...here's some photos of princess anthony. he wouldn't let me in ANY of the photos and just kept screaming "KEEP SNAPPING BITCH"
More to come on the rest of my weekend...
