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 [...]

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
25Jul05I 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.
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 [...]
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?
20Jul05Okay, so here’s something I hope never happens to me..

Mike Thompson in the Denver Post
18Jul05A 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
17Jul05Unsure 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 [...]
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 [...]
