We're All Fools In Need Too Foolish to Believe

Dinosaur Zombie Showdown.

Don't do it. Never see it...NO MATTER WHAT.

Trust me. The Human Centipede will break your brain and make you feel horrifically changed.

Hello, gentlemen!

Gentlemen, hello!

I was the middle part of this human centipede between Tim...

and DVan!
And thank heavens...because these dudes shared in my terror and disgust.

Best part: Tim watching it through his fingers and DVan stating over and over again, "Human Centipede, the Human fucking Centipede".

These guys are golden gods...special cases of the very best kind.


This is my other special case. Baby S.
I'm so proud of him. He wrote a book. A fucking dissertation. It's gleaming, clean, and annotated and footnoted like nobody's business.
I held it in my hands...it's really magnificent.


Yeah, yeah, I know.
I've been seriously MIA, right?

Obviously, I do that from time to time. Sometimes living really does become so riveting that I can't avoid it. I have to do it and nothing else.
I'll tell you all about it, I promise. It's a long story, but I'll spill.

Monkey wrenchin'.


ARISE GOOD GUYS CLUB!

Spring came to Denver.
It was pretty much the best one I've ever been a part of.
I know not everyone loved it...but I don't care about everyone.

When the sunshine comes spraying through the trees light and lovely and the breeze catches the soft hair on your face...it's mesmerizing.

It was the kind of spring that reminded you how cool and fucking fun Summer is.
Running around in dimly lit streets-the air so warm you want to swallow it.
Catching crawdads like these kids and willing the sun back into the sky so your mom never has to call you inside.

Yep, it's summer, jerks!
Get into it!

In My Mind, This Is My Free Time

A glimpse into what may or may not be going on...

Team No Bueno.
More pics to come, I promise - but know that we, apparently, aren't very good.
It doesn't mean we won't be...but Christ, those t-shirts.
What is that? Grellow.

Spencer added this sweet kitten app to his phone.
We're both obsessed with it, but I guess most people don't even bother feigning interest.
Spencer says anyone he's shown it to immediately balks disinterested.
Weak.

The Wine Seller, people!
Corner of 6th & Pearl!

We had a wicked crazy snow storm this Wednesday.

It was weird and beautiful.

And as soon as it arrived, it immediately started melting.

But not before putting the hurt on saplings...

And really big hearty trees too!

This is on the north side of my building and I'm sure my property manager was breathing a HUGE sigh of relief that it didn't cause more damage than it did.

Baby S and I celebrated some progress he made on his dissertation by hitting The Living Room on Colfax.

Go there because they have a decent wine selection, but more so...it's just cool in there.

GO TO THE FAINTING GOAT!

This is what Baby S and I named the Irish Surf & Turf.
We split a Patty Melt and Fish & Chips.
It was perfect.

After dinner, we went to Mo's of Denver!
Click the link - because this place is great! Yes, MO'S.

Look! I have a new fave person! Her name is Jessica and she's a brilliant new lady friend! She met Baby S and I with no qualms about not knowing either of us in the slightest.
Let's hang heavy JBrick! You're rad!

This, my friends, is The Goddess Duane!
This fine specimen of a human being is rockin' it gorgeous and fierce down at Mo's of Denver doing some 80's Trivia!

I think you should go...for two reasons:
One - because Mo's is awesome!
Two - because Duane is funny as fuck and you'll be hooked the moment you encounter your "hostess Goddess Duane dressed as that lovable alcoholic and lesbian Mrs. Edna Garrett".

Adorable bartender.
Pretty sure I got this hug out of him by telling him he looked like Coady Willis from the Melvins, Big Business, and the Murder City Devils.
He was receptive.

Favorite person + new favorite person = DREAM TEAM!


Also, did I mention the clientele & staff at Mo's are pretty much the best looking finest peeps on the planet!?

No doubt...dreamboats.

We're having adventures...
Please don't hesitate to contact us to join in the fun!

Crawl Into The Wave

When the sunshine creeps from behind the haze of winter clouds...it's hard not to get a little inspired!
Maura picked me up to meet Mrs. Jess - a trio of awesome ladies on a bright March morning!

Mrs. Jess used to be Jess Maydan, but her marital status is officially attached! Congrats, my friend!
Maura, on the other hand, is single, hilarious, and totally lovely! Gentlemen! Email me about her!

We met at DJ's Berkeley Cafe - home of the dream breakfast burrito!

We met for a specific reason - Mrs. Jess had a gift for me.
Yes. Click on the pic.
Yes. It is a shirt with kittens dressed in American Indian headdresses and moccasins.
Stop being Jello.

If you want to start your morning right...
And by right, I mean with laughter, these are the ladies to hang heavy with!

Super buddies!


The breakfast burrito really is their crowning achievement over there!
Go there - try it!

Actually, call me, text me, email me, twitter me...I want to go with you!

After brekkie, Maura and I drove around doing summer scouting.

Basically, that means taking pictures of places that we want to go this summer!

This is to remind us to go to Rosalinda's...
Don't forget!

This is an ice cream joint!
We'll be going there too!


I found a mirror behind Maura's house and got crazy excited about it.

I put it in the back seat of her car and then later forgot that it was back there and reclined onto it.
It broke, of course, and I'm feeling doomed.

Maura had a meeting down town and she asked me to accompany her...it gave me an opportunity to wander around LoDo early enough in the day to avoid the annoyance of people who enjoy hanging out in LoDo.

The day was absolutely gorgeous.
I felt really fortuitous that the day had unraveled the way that it had and I was given the chance to meander.

It's hard to be in LoDo without hitting the 16th Street Mall - and honestly, I hate it.
It reminds me of going to the mall in Cheyenne when I was a teenager.

Still, there are fluters down there...and if you know me, I'm super into that!

If you get away from the spectacle of the tourist traps...there's lots of interesting architecture and little secrets.




It's hard to walk without constantly looking up.


So many lines for your eyes to follow and get lost in...
Tracing the silhouette of buildings into the sky.

Sometimes it confuses you and you lose your footing and feel compelled to find something to steady yourself with.


Real talk.


Do you think she did?

There is a little oasis on the outskirts of LoDo called Sakura Square.

A quiet Japanese garden in the midst of all the hub bub.

Buddhist priest keeping things cool...

Where have you left your name lately?

There's the obvious stuff downtown...

Stuff that you're expected to photograph when you're down there...and if I remember correctly, I haven't taken pictures of this stuff yet.


Pegasus...for my Montana and Binghamton ladies.

Remember the 15th St. Tavern? Remember how it smelled like a toilet and how awesome bands played there? Yeah, me too.
The first show I saw there was The Swanks before I moved to Denver...the first time I met all those people and they became my life long friends!

I also saw one of my all time favorite bands play there with a local band.
It was like a private Oblio Joes show just for me - I'll never forget it for the rest of my days!

The Tavern is gone now...and this is what is in it's place. Gross. Shame on you, Denver.

I'd been exploring for almost 2 hours...

And started to steer myself back toward meeting Maura again.


Here's another place to visit this summer...if you're interested let me know.
One should always be a tourist in their own city or town.

And I've got a rad partner in crime who makes me laugh so loud and always peeps cute gentleman with me!
SUPER BUDDY!


And me, I like to think I'm sort of kick in the pants as well...

Summer of the Buddies 2010!
It's coming!
