Abare boys treehouse

Don’t worry. Tim didn’t kick his boys out. In fact, he just built them a second home. In a tree. A modern take on the Swiss Family Robinson.

ONE SENTENCE RESTAU-RANTS – Larimer Hot House

With sandos like the Bitchen’ Camaro and CHicka-Chicka-Bow-Wow and breakfast burritos at $3 a pop, I really hope this place sticks around.

WHAT IS AUGUST HUNTING? – Snacks

It’s 3:30 p.m. August is hungry. He’s at the office. He’s got none of his arsenal with him. No bow. No 300 Win Mag Remington, cutom trigger, leopold scope. No 12-gauge auto Browning Gold Trigger. Not even a beebee gun. So, what’s a hungry  hunter to do to find game but use his hands and his basic human instincts. He stakes out the kitchen, rifling through the cabinets. He sees oyster crackers, creamy peanut butter, Nutella, a bowl, a spoon. This hunter knows exactly what to do.

THINGS TO DO IN DENVER WHEN YOU’RE NOT DEAD – All aboard the freak train

 Photobucket

The multifaceted host GerRee Hinshaw will have you howling with her stand up comedy in between acts and
will inspire and entertain while she belts out an impromptu song that recaps the evenings events.
The five minute open stage acts could consist of poems, puppet shows, perverted Dinsey-esque covers
or short skits. No two shows are alike. The local talent run the gamut of newbies to regulars and 
it is truly inspiring that this event has taken place in Denver for the past eight years. 
$5 gets you in the door, a ticket to raffle prizes collected from thrift stores and all the beer you can drink - 
compliments from our friends at Breckenridge Brewery. Doors and sign up are at 7.00. Show is at 8.00.

WHAT IS AUGUST HUNTING? – Bees!

With no furry or gilled creatures to hunt, August has sought out the age-old tradition of beekeeping. Now, he’s hunting bees to keep in his hive.  Swatting and trapping them with nets, Mason jars, and Tupperware.

Watch out bees!

CRUISER CHRONICLES – Puncture it forward

Nothing ruins your day like a nail in the tire. Much less getting hit by a flying padlock or welding torch. 

First I thought of a new invention to help.
magnet   

But until that gets patented, I figured I should just start picking them up by hand. Even if I didn’t run over it today, there’s always tomorrow. And maybe it will save someone the deflating emotion that comes with a flat. Who knows, maybe someone ahead of me is doing the same thing. Anyway, the rules are the object has to be in my direct line of sight. Because if I picked up every piece of debris on my ride in, I’d never get into work. And we’d have to open a new landfill. So here’s a couple months worth. Rich has been adding to it as well. Should be able to build a deck by mid-summer.

B SIDES: DISCOVERING NEW MUSIC – Lala

The Internet strikes again! In a world where the printed word is torpedoing toward extinction, is it just a matter of time that CDs will be too? Don’t answer that. CD cover design work is awesome. I hope it never dies. In any case, a website that’s trying to kill the CD and doing a pretty good job at it is Lala.com. It’s a listening site that allows you – are you ready for this – to listen to songs and even entire albums before buying. And, you’re never going to believe this, not only can you purchase the song in mp3 form for 89 cents, but it downloads into your iTunes. AND, you can burn that song onto a CD or even share it with a friend. It’s not locked like stupid iTunes purchased songs. It’s shocking, I know.

It’s a great way to discover new music. What you think may be an awesome band (Beirut) could really only have one awesome song (El Zócalo). And you can find out by giving a listen to more than just a :30 excerpt. Let’s home Lala forces iTunes to change their evil ways.

So far, I’ve discovered the following to be amazing new music. 

Passion Pit

Ladyhawke

Lykke Li

Have a listen today.
