We don’t really feel that Colorado rejected us. Mavis and Tootsie just thought it was a funny name for our Colorado trip blog. Hey Mavis actually had a splendiferous time on our whirlwind trip. Our most gracious hosts, Adam Aijala (of Yonder Mountain String Band, www.yondermountain.com) and his most lovely wife Julie Rakotz, fed us, let us sleep AND bathe in their house, and poured really good wine down our thirsty Ohio throats.
Here are some worthless and worthy tidbit highlights:
*Hey Mavis drank at the Akron-Canton Airport bar before their flight. You see, Tootsie does not like onions, and she likes flying even less.
*Mavis hogged the window during landing in Colorado. While she went ”oohhh” and “aahhh” at the beautiful sight of the sun setting over the Rockies, Stevie and Tootsie stared at the back of Mavis’s head.
*Hey Mavis was greeted in the Colorado airport by a hippie, first thing, right off the bat. This was no ordinary hippie though. He was wearing southwestern styled attire, cowboy boots and was almost as tall as his didgeridoo. Sadly, Mavis and Tootsie went in pursuit of more cowboys and left Stevie alone for a while. No hard feelings came from this.
*Hey Mavis made a midnight banjo run (how does a banjo run, it has no legs, ugh, that is not funny). Seriously, a big thanks to Dave Johnston for letting Tootsie borrow his Stealth (see Dave with his sweet banjo here)!
* Mavis loved the LOVESAC at Adam and Julie’s house. Stevie had never seen a LOVESAC before, but it was the biggest one he had never seen! We are hoping Mavis gets a high-paying job as a LOVESAC spokesmodel. www.lovesac.com
*Lucky’s Café is an awesome breakfast joint. On the Sausage Gravy & Biscuits Mavis-O-Meter, they scored a 6 out of 10. Mavis thought the gravy was a tad too gelatinous. The Eggs Benedict rocked Tootsie’s world and the Pesto Green Eggs & Ham left Stevie grinning ear to ear. Stay tuned for more Mavis-O-Meter breakfast reviews…
*While Tootsie took a shower and styled her hair (ha, that is funny), Stevie, Mavis and Adam watched Jaws, specifically, this scene.
Did we forget to mention that we were in Colorado to play a wedding? It was spectacular! Mark Nicolella (of the Boulder Theater www.bouldertheater.com) and his lovely bride, Jessica Matzuk, looked stunning on their big day! What an amazing wedding it was! The hummingbirds were chirping gaily while nose-diving in between the wedding guests to sip sweet nectar from their feeders. The gardens were in bloom, the fountain of lavender margaritas was flowing and the mountain stream carried the outside world away. Mark, Jessica and their families were ever so gracious and treated us so well!
So, Hey Mavis definitely plans on returning to Colorado in the near future. Next time we hope we can stay longer!!
