I’m just about to leave for Telluride, the Bluegrass Festival is underway now. We’re leaving here in a few minutes, and I’m tapped to see Darrel Scott and John Cowan tonight at La Montaña.
I may or may not be […]

1. College kids are pretty naive - It was interesting meeting soon-to-be Skidmore graduates in the first part of my trip. I heard these people with some grandiose plans for their future, but this is a tough time for people entering the workforce. I had the misfortune of entering the real world a few months […]

I’ve been spending a lovely few days in scenic Saratoga Springs, New York and the neighboring area. I had some great (and drunken) times at a bar promotion at The Local (a great new craft beer bar that had Wolaver’s Organic Brown on tap). I’ve seen my buddy Adam’s MFA Art show in Albany, where […]

There is a bill in Colorado that will charge a $5 toll at the Eisenhower Tunnel on I-70. This tunnel runs right through the Continental Divide and is Denver’s link to various ski towns (Vail, Aspen, Breckenridge, etc.). There is a bunch of opposition about it, but I feel that something needs to be done […]

I’m off to Washington state to “compete” in the Jimmie Heuga Foundation Vertical Express for MS. My team raised almost $2000 for this event and our sister team raised about the same amount.
So I’ll be periodically updating my twitter site (to be seen on the sidebar of my blog or at my Twitter site itself). […]

Denver International Airport has finally added free wireless internet throughout their facility. Way to go, guys. Having to pay for wifi at a place that was paid for by Colorado taxpayers is sort of a sham. Apparently wifi usage has increased 10x with this development. No fucking shit, right?
Now getting to the airport really early […]

Okay, here’s a cool thing. These awesome Google Earth layers chart when future total solar eclipses will be, and I completely guarantee that I’ll go see one of these occurrences. Because it looks fucking amazing.

The one I’m going to try to check out is on Sunday, July 11, 2010 at Easter Island. First, Easter […]

I’m just IMming with Kevin, who is down in Central America. 6 months he and Kelly lived in Nicaragua and recently they’ve been traveling around Guatemala and Mexico.
They’re in Antigua, Guatemala right now (be sure to note the Bank Gothic use in the top buttons) but have recently been at Lake Atitlan (be sure to […]

First their automated baggage handler was a piece of shit, now their fully automated jetways are fucking up. Throw in the fact that I missed my connecting flight to Amsterdam because we had two separate airplanes with “mechanical” issues (see: Mechanic Slowdown?) and finally got into Chicago on a third plane about 6 hours late.
Use […]
