The Life of John Peel

31Jul05

I have a few albums by non-popular artists with the title of “The John Peel Sessions” (my favorite being Boom Bip & Doseone), in which they played live for a host, John Peel. Boom Bip was also invited back to record a second Peel Session, having been heralded by John Peel as “a modern day [...]

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club New Single — Ain’t No Easy Way

30Jul05

I just came across a downloadable single by the BRMC, “Ain’t No Easy Way“. It has a very strong blues sound– I dig it!

Map of Denver Neighborhoods

25Jul05

I found a good map of the various Denver neighborhoods over the weekend. I’ve been trying to tell people some of the areas I’d like to move to in Denver; some people know what I’m talking about, and others don’t at all, so hopefully this will make it a bit clearer.

Places To Eat in Denver Before I’m Dead

23Jul05

I started browsing restaurants at the Westword (Denver’s alternative newspaper) while avoiding the uber sun rays happening outside at the moment, and came up with a long list of places I need to check out at some point or another. Some of them were already on my list, but I figured I’d put them all [...]

Mike Thompson Promoted to Portland

22Jul05

Very cool– Mike was promoted to the AAA Padres affiliate, the Portland Beavers. He’s now just a step away from the majors. Congrads! 7/24/2005 Update: He started his first game yesterday and did very well for his first outing: Portland won 6-1 Mike Thompson debuted with Portland on Saturday. Besides pitching in his first Triple-A [...]

Got Kancho?

Okay, so here’s something I hope never happens to me..

CostCo Harmonics Laminate Flooring

19Jul05

I’m sure I’m not the only one who has been tempted by the Harmonics laminate wood flooring at CostCo, right? My first dog did quite a bit of damage to my carpet, and the current one has had a couple of accidents (for having her for 1.5 years now, she’s honestly done really well), so [...]

Mike Thompson in the Denver Post

18Jul05

A friend at work sent me a link to an interview of Michael Thompson, a friend from my hometown, currently playing for a AA Minor League baseball team, the Mobile BayBears. This part pretty much sums up the Walsh experience: Thompson returns every offseason to spend time in Colorado’s thin air. He helps his brother [...]

Wedding Crashers: My Curt Review

17Jul05

Unsure of what to expect, I went out on Friday night to grab a drink and see Wedding Crashers with a friend. I didn’t want to get my hopes up given the last few Vince Vaughn movies (he just hasn’t had any great roles since Swingers) and was very pleasantly surprised! I’ve strangely been a [...]

Photos from Washington DC and CFUNITED 05

04Jul05

I finally arrived back home from Washington DC at around 10 PM last night, and finally had a chance to post the photos today. A word of warning about the CFUNITED photos– I was learning how to use a new camera as well as try not to distract people using the flash, so they aren’t [...]
