Important GABF Lesson: It’s more fun when you’re not hungover.
I kind of wandered GABF like a zombie on Thursday after having fun Wednesday night. I was feeling much better Friday. I explored Denver a bit, checking out some of the great architecture and public art.
There is an impressive mix of historical buildings, public art, and modern architecture in Denver. It wasn’t nearly as cold as this Californian had imagined, although I’m sure that will change soon.
After a relaxing day of meandering around it was onto Day 2 of GABF. Here are my in depth reviews of the beers I tried:
