Pre-DNC, Days 4 and 5

Monday, August 25th, 2008

No more fail, just more work. Work Saturday. Work Sunday. Work-people Saturday night at the media party. Wake up Sunday and go to the Green Frontier Fest. Van Jones talks about making the green movement relevant to not just the folk who can afford to be fancy-green. Gosh if news organizations had someone as charismatic, […]

Pre-DNC, Day 3: Fail Parade

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

I still subscribe to the dead-tree Denver Post. The delivery this summer has been consistently bad — a paper on the porch is now a thing of Spring 2008. This morning I left my place and found the paper not on the porch, the steps, or the sidewalk — it was in the grass on […]

Green Frontier Fest tomorrow! The environment! Free beer + vodka! Daryl Hannah!

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

The Green Frontier Fest won’t tell you this, but there is plenty of free booze (10 kegs of green-friendly beer and 6 cases of the organic vodka) to be had tomorrow. Sarah, my girlfriend, is producing this gig with the City of Denver and her employer, the Denver / Portland / Salt Lake City ReDirect […]

Pre-DNC, Day 2: Cookies

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

At the start of the pep rally management told us “We’ve got McCain cookies and Obama cookies, but if you eat them you’ll have to take one of each [to maintain journalistic objectivity].” Yeah, there was a pep rally. And, yeah, there were cookies at that rally. I haven’t been to a pep rally since […]

I’m going to call this “Pre-DNC, Day 1″

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

It’s gettin hectic in the day-job newsroom land. The DNC’s a few days away, and my to-do and get-this-done-right-now lists started exploding as of yesterday. Same goes for everyone, and it’s exciting. I got my Colorado Press Association press pass yesterday — the first press pass I’ve has since interning at the Kenosha News in […]

Squirt-gun fight Friday!

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

@ DAM, 5 p.m. — I’ve got a bunch of extra artillery if you don’t have a squirt gun of your own. By “extra artillery” I mean some brand-new super-soaker style machines. Hit me if you want to borrow one, and get more info / updates at http://denversquirts.com/blog/.
There’s a 30% chance of rain — if […]

Hey, weekend: the Post’s Underground Music Showcase (translate: awesome local bands)

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Last year I went to my first DPUMS (Denver Post Underground Music Showcase). Had a great time and saw tons of music I wouldn’t have otherwise seen. It’s a browser’s market — with so many venues so close together you can keep walking until you find something you like. Okay, sure, this may look like […]

we fully expect it is just a matter of time before they become the favorite band of exactly the sort of people you can’t stand to hang around with.

Tetris League Denver makes the Denver Post

Monday, July 14th, 2008

This is how it happened: Three weeks ago I was coding away at work, and the Post’s features editor came by to check out the day’s Rocky. We were chatting, he asked how my girlfriend was, and I told him “We’re going to Tetris League tomorrow, it’s the only competitive tetris league in the country.” […]
