    I was thinking maybe the picture of Nolan's kinky latte from the jam!!!Just kidding of course.
    How about something with the Rocky Mountains, that seems fitting.

    Sorry about flaking on calling you back tonight. Can we see each other tomorrow? I thought I could come up to Sole at the end of your shift and we could go to Southern Sun or whatever works for you.

    Erik sorry we missed the jam, I hope it went well. It was my bday and we were unsure if the car was ok to make the drive to Boulder. We were thinking about hosting a jam/party at our place near the end of May or early June. Let us know if someone else has a jam planned during that time.

    Hey missed you at the last jam, it was okay, some interesting ideas were brought up but no competition for the tal tak. Maybe August jam should be up in boulder get some friendly competition going.
