Brandon made some very yummy coconut-based waffles and bacon which Oisin enjoyed as a 2nd breakfast. Hobbit time!  Its been a long time since the crew hung out as Oisin has been spending much time in Washington state. For a late lunch\/early dinner Oisin made Impossible burgers but no one else wanted the vegan delight.  A day of downtime was had. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/technotink.net\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/CO-032821-003-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4549\" width=\"442\" height=\"589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/technotink.net\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/CO-032821-003-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/technotink.net\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/CO-032821-003-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/technotink.net\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/CO-032821-003.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 442px) 100vw, 442px\" \/><figcaption>Dancing at Dark Lots Goth Night, Denver, CO.  <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Early evening, Oisin and Allison got their goth on &#8211; dressing up for a first club night out for ages &#8230; and getting to try out &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/technotink.net\/travel\/dark-lots\/\">Dark Lots<\/a>&#8221; finally after a year in operation. Its been running for a year during the pandemic and after many attempts, the duo finally could make it on its anniversary.   The local gothic scene taking over a Barnes and Nobles parking lot, corded off with live DJs and dancing, masked, under the moonlight, socially distanced &#8211; perfect for the pandemic.  Oisin wished there were more events like this around the globe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oisin and Allison headed out to &#8220;Dark Lots&#8221;, found the site, and hunted for a Starbucks for a caffeine boost enroute &#8230; unfortunately due to the pandemic &#8230; all close too early. After pulling into the parking lot, Oisin&#8217;s drink was propped up against the car door &#8211; fell out with a clatter and spilled on the concrete. Sucked &#8230; what an entrance Oisin and Allison thought. There were however no porta-potties, so it was either an alleyway,  bushes, or finding something nearby still open. They hunted down the 7-11 down the street, but they didn&#8217;t let patrons use their restroom. They stopped in Pizza hut just before they closed and was able to use theirs. They made their way back to the lot &#8230; saw friends they hadn&#8217;t seen for ages and danced up a storm. Great spinning and sets. Their friend Kira had her table of goodies set up with gluten-free skull chocolate muffins which were delicious!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/technotink.net\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/CO-032821-011-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4550\" width=\"534\" height=\"712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/technotink.net\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/CO-032821-011-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/technotink.net\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/CO-032821-011-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/technotink.net\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/CO-032821-011.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px\" \/><figcaption>Kira, Allison, and Leaf<br>Dancing at Dark Lots Goth Night, Denver, CO.  <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They called it a night a little after 1 am and drove home.
