No Doubt, Denver CO 5/27

NO DOUBT!!!! So as I was looking for Laker/Nugget game 4 tickets on Craiglist when I found out that No Doubt was playing in Denver while we were going to be there! I found some really good seats and at an amazing price and went for it. Got lucky enough to have the gentlemen call me back and were able to meet with him not only to buy the tickets but get a chance to talk with him about moving to the Denver area.
Now most people do not know this but I have wanted to see No Doubt since I was in middle school! (Joseph was so surprised that I had not made a bigger deal out of it)
We drove down to Boulder from our RV park in Loveland and checked out the college town. (It is home of the University of Colorado). It was a pretty cool town, with a really neat downtown area. Joe and I walked around, checked out the scene, read some local papers to see what kind of activities the town offered and then grabbed a bite to eat. We then met with the gentlemen we were buying the tickets from, he worked right in downtown Boulder. We got the chance to talk with him for a couple hours about all the areas surrounding Denver, the economy there, house prices, etc. It was really insightful.
After our meeting we drove around Boulder some more to check out the neighborhoods and parks. Really pretty houses and parks, lots of outside activities. We then drove south to the south part of Denver where the concert was being held. We drove through some traffic but nothing like I have seen in Los Angeles.
Weather was awesome, which was good since the concert was in an outside bowl. Went and checked out our seats, 17th row, right when the first band was coming on. The Sounds were from Sweden and their female lead singer rocked the house (and a crazy outfit!). Next on was Paramore, another female lead singer, who also rocked the house. Then finally NO DOUBT!!!!
What was really awesome about the concert was that they did not have a new album, they decided to do the tour to get inspiration to make a new album. Which meant they played songs from all their albums! Pretty much almost all my favorite songs were played. Joe was awesome enough to take pictures the whole time (he got some really amazing ones, like we were on the stage). It was a sweet night!
The next day we were lucky enough to be shown around downtown Denver by a local. When Joe and I were in Canyonlands NP in Utah we met some people who were from Colorado and one of them was nice enough to give us his phone number and an invitation to be shown around. Well we took him up on it. He showed us all around downtown and took us to lots of different places. We rode the local transportation, a trolley bus, and walked all over. We went to the Hyatt (or Hilton, can't remember) and went to their sky lounge where you can see all of Denver from something like 26 stories up. It was a really cool "big city" town and had lots to offer. Joe and I really liked it (it didn't even scare him that much for a big city).
We were having such a hard time deciding when we were going to leave Colorado. There was one more town we wanted to check out in the Denver area, Fort Collins.
