Denver's Monolith Festival held in world premier man made rock Amphitheater was a visually stunning mile high experience. The bands, the music, the venue, the altitude, the wind and the below summer temperatures were all variably heightened by the fact that even though the attendance was only a mere 9,000 visitors per day, it was one intense festival to be involved in. There were 5 stages, a gang of bands and two days to paint. For me, this was one of the more fun spots. Here in colorado, I realized that all the locations we toured to all summer, it was all like choosing a backdrop to a video game. Each scenery being a completely different feel and energy. This trip was especially memorable to me because I was able to travel with my wife, Asako. In many ways, I was more ready to paint and more focused and truly more relaxed. Thank you, Mi Asakita!

Seattle was space needles. Seattle was fish markets and rivers and EXP and Jimi Hendrix spirit and hills and REI and friends who were once east coasters like me and Seattle was flannel and the last port city before alaska and the spirit of miners and rough around the edges and Georgetown and Pioneers and 9 Pound Hammer, my one and only favorite free pool bar. Seattle was hope and possibilities and explorers and potential and new friends and lots of men and not enough women. Seattle from what I saw was like that. Bumbershoot was the oldest music festival I have ever witnessed. It was also Ichiro Pride, a humble great baseballer from the far east, my neck of the islands! Seattle was all the grunge I ever listened to and it was the toughest girls with mouths that backed up with fists and attitudes and it was cold. It was the end of summer. It was the beginning of week long coughing fits. It was all it was hoped to be and all that it wasn't. I loved it. I hated it. I admired it. I wanted to run away from it. It was tough. It was soft. I really loved my 9 pound hammer and I really missed my friends, ALL CITY COFFEE. It was a good place to be at the time, because slowly, the tour is coming to end and although I worry about what I ll do next, I ve got hope! Hope, like Seattle, is a high quality potential survivor port town in the northwest.
