BUT IT GET'S BETTER CON'T
So, Monday April 19th was employee ski day at Vail. We got to ski off of 3 lifts that were open for employees only. Then we all came down to the base where we got a free lunch (Moe's bbq) and had the chance to win prizes, etc. All while a dj was playing. After the prizes were awarded..I didn't win shit, they announced that there was to be a special guest band. You can only imagine my excitement when they announced that it was Guster (see previous post) Not only was this my favorite band but the stage was some little chincy thing set up right on the snow!! We were less than a foot away. We didn't ACTUALLY stand that close because that would have been wierd, but WE COULD HAVE! Anyway, there I am, front and center, with my friend Andrew just rockin out!! Guster is awesome in the sense that they are just really goofy guys who like to have fun so they interacted with us and talked with us and just played to have a good time. The one guitar player still had his ski boots on! It was the grand finale to my awesome week! At the end of the show they were talking about how great we all were and they then thanked those of us who stuck around for their little impromtu show and the lead singer looked and pointed RIGHT AT ME!! (ryan is my witness...) OH, and i was literally only like 3 feet away from him so there was no mistaking it! Made my day! It felt like it was a private show! Guster, twice in 24 hours...it was a great end to this season, now...let's go to the beach!

Great post. Guster's one of my favorite bands too, which is why I was stoked to hear they were coming to Vail, and when they played at employee day for us, which was like our own personal concert. I was a little sad when Ryan didn't want to play Getting Even, or Grin, or Happy Frappy, but oh well. Also, check out my blogger profile picture Kate. Pretty much the same one you have.
