Halloween in Denver

One of my favorite things about living in Bozeman is how easy it is to drive virtually anywhere in the continental U.S. (as you can imagine, living in Alaska does not make road trips to anywhere but other places in Alaska easy). I am fortunate enough to have a car, and this past weekend three of my friends and I road tripped to Denver to see Bassnectar in concert at the Fillmore.

To put it simply, it was amazing. Here's a video from Bassnectar's set (the sound quality isn't great, but you'll get the idea).

Heavyweight Dub Champion and RJD2 opened, but due to poor planning we didn't get there until halfway through RJD2's set. However, it all worked out because there was an afterparty at Casselman's Bar & Venue, and it was 18+ which is convenient for me because I am 19 and it irritates me when my age prevents me from going to shows. So, right after the concert we took a taxi to the afterparty, where we saw Heavyweight Dub Champion, then Bassnectar again, then a sweet DJ named Wolfe. I had tons of fun and danced until the very end at approximately 4 am. Here's a video of Wolfe (he wore a clown mask the entire time—impressive).

Although I didn't do the traditional Halloween activities, I had an awesome Halloween. This was my second time traveling to Denver for a concert and it was definitely worth it—big cities are a different scene. Roadtrips are a lot of fun, and for me they're definitely a perk of going to college outside of Alaska.
