Avett Brothers: Salina

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

Salina I’m as nowhere as I can be / would you add some somewhere to me, aww Kansas I’m kneeling, aw Kansas please.
Cleveland I ain’t never felt something so strong / been believing the words to my songs, Ohio I’m leaving, Ohio I’m gone.

Poughkeepsie hang up the telephone / I won’t answer your phone […]

Denver’s the cheapest place to live alone, but no longer the best single’s town.

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

So says Forbes. Denver’s ranked on the top of Forbes’ “Best Cities for Singles” list three years in a row, until this one. Forbes says it’s the methodology that caused Denver’s plummet. I wrote more about it on the Denver Post Neighbors blog.

Denver bands I saw for the first time Saturday that I would totally go see again

Monday, August 13th, 2007

Saturday a bunch of local bands played the Denver Post Underground Music Festival, which was the biggest local music fest I’ve ever seen, and the most fun I’ve had on a Saturday in Denver. So much good stuff. Here are the ‘most interesting’ Flickr photos from the event. These are the ones I took. And […]

It’s Saturday: Denver Post Underground Music Festival

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

Hey y’all,
Saturday night my employer, the Post, throws its 7th-annual Underground Music Festival. Well, not Saturday night. Saturday afternoon, evening and night. It’s $10 before the show (tix at www.dpums.com), $12 day-of. I don’t know half the bands playing, and that’s a whole bunch of the fun.
Here’s more info on the event:

Denver Neighbors sneak preview (what I’ve been working on in day-job-land)

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

So, this afternoon I launched the sneak preview of the ‘big thing’ I’ve been building at work. It’s the Denver “Neighbors” section, and it’s got Denver news, photos, blog posts, and my favorite: the most-popular article list of what Denver readers (that might be you!) are reading.
Check it out at http://neighbors.denverpost.com/denver. Also, if you live […]

New Game: Bicycle Water-Balloon Jousting

Wednesday, July 4th, 2007

We tried this one out last night. We got two water balloons (the bigger the better here), two people, two bicycles (skateboards will also work), and a quiet street. I faced Leslie in the first match, and while she may beat me at Tetris, nimble fingers will not save you in the world of bicycle […]

In case you don’t know (Denver’s Tetris League)

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

The monthly Tetris tournament hit the fan last night. I filmed a bunch of matches (I don’t know about you, but watching video of competitive 3-minute-limit Tetris on YouTube is quite exciting). I also recovered from a round-two loss (it’s double-elimination), won my next 6 or 7 matches (including a “W” against Vinnie, who’s good […]

My new Colorado driver’s license is a flimsy piece of shit.

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

It just showed up in the mail. My new driver’s license, from my new state of residence. Colorado. And holy crap! this driver’s license is a flimsy piece of shit. It looks like it was designed by somebody who really hated their job. Let me tell you the negative qualities of this driver’s license in […]

Haiku Summer

Saturday, June 9th, 2007

Yes, yes, the summer.
And we rip through its months
Like christmas morning.
My apologies to the non-x-mas celebrating kids out there. So, this haiku-thing picked up waves here with this lady’s Everyday Haiku. I noticed it, and she’s doing it every day, which means other people noticed it too.
Then just five days ago, the Denver Post […]
