TALES FROM THE HOOD – The Kings Delight

Our pal Steve is preparing to become a Daddy for the first time. Of course we wanted to have a baby shower for him, you know, to show our affection and all. But, how do you celebrate with a fast-food loving, rail-skinny, Daddy-to-be? You shower him with Burger King, Long John Silvers, Chik-fil-a, McDonalds and a side of KFC slaw.

TALES FROM THE HOOD – Alter egos

Alter egos are a funny thing. They show themselves at the most unexpected times. Put a suit on, or a pair of long white gloves and presto, change-o, a whole new personality appears. Meet some of the alter egos that recently showed up at Cultivator

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!
