It's that time of year again!! Honestly I get more excited for the announcement of Hometown for the Holidays bands than I do for Christmas! I mean, the number of times I blog about it should tell you something. Tonight KTCL will be announcing the top 10 bands at Not So Silent Night at the First Bank Center. I will not be there (yes, I failed to obtain tickets before they sold out), but I have a few friends who will be texting me...as they are announced (no, I can't wait for the official announcement). I know you want to rate these bands, so go sign up ...
Monika and Jonathon McMahon – 11/13/12
Yup! We got married! We know some (most) of you are shocked and maybe a bit concerned. We are sorry if this is the first you are learning about this as well. We tried to tell everyone that was close to us personally, but we just couldn’t keep the news to ourselves anymore! Please know that it’s not that we did not want you involved, the opposite is true. However, in such a short timeframe we could not have organized an event that would have included all of you in a meaningful way. Please do not take not knowing personally. We love you. We also know that you are ...
I am Going to DisneyLand for My 29th Birthday #DisneyMon29
In about a week I will be turning 29. When trying to decide what to do to celebrate, I thought, why not spend the start of my last year in my 20's at the Happiest Place on Earth? I haven't been to DisneyLand in years (5 to be exact), but if you've talked to me in the past few years, you know that I have been dying to go back! Me, at the entrance of DisneyLand 5 years ago When I mentioned this to Joni, I was surprised to hear that she wanted to join me! So now it is actually happening. We are only going to ...
The Time I Sang Karaoke
I will blame this entirely on Star Bar (specifically Justin) and Matt Lanning. (Ok, there may have been a few tiki drinks involved). Either way, last night was the first (and likely only) time I sang Karaoke. I only agreed to do it after Justin said he would sing a duet with me. I just had to find a song! Flipping through that book was too time consuming, so I did what any person on Twitter would do, I tweeted my followers looking for suggestions! As soon as I saw the Grease suggestion, I knew that was the one I had to pick. I used to ...
Another Reason Rdio Rocks
I love Rdio. This last weekend I drove to Montrose with my friend Joni and I have to say, our 90's playlist literally entertained us for hours (10+)! Having the ability to easily find those songs you love (or loved) with just a few searches is priceless, really. That being said, I also struggle with Rdio because I know what a drain it is for local artists. It takes time and effort to get your songs on there. Then you have to convince your fans to go to Rdio.com to listen to your songs. And then you get paid. Cents. Like nothing. Have you ever looked at the ...
Uber Comes to Denver
Since Uber's launch in Denver, I have only had the pleasure of ordering one ride, but I can't wait to use it more. When I was in NYC for BlogHer, I rode in many Uber cars thanks to my friend George. It was so nice and easy! The cars were clean, the drivers were always super nice one had even had two iPhone chargers for us to use! (more…)
93.3 KTCL’s Big Gig Top 10 Locals Only Contest
I really love all that 93.3 KTCL does for local bands. Yes, they are a Clear Channel station, but do you know how many local shows the DJ's attend? It is a lot and it is impressive. Not only do the DJ's attend shows, the station also holds contests and allow local bands to open for their Big Gig concert every year. They have just announced the top 10 locals who are in the running to open for this years show which includes acts like Silversun Pickups, The Hives, The Wombats and more! So now it is up to YOU to help these bands make it! In ...
Win a Free Ticket to Unwined Denver from Club W!
You are probably wondering "What is Unwined?" No, it is not a concert festival (although there will be DJ's), but it is a wine extravaganza that is sponsored by Club W! This Saturday and Sunday at the EXDO center in Denver, there will be 200+ wines available for you to taste, along with food from some of Denver's top food trucks. Does this sound like an event that is right up your alley? Well, lucky for you, I have a ticket to give away for Saturday's event! Entry is easy and open to anyone who can attend on Saturday (yes, the event is 21+). (more…)
Pilates + prAna gear = Fashionable Monika (& a giveaway!)
It's no secret that I have started actually working out for the first time in my life, but I am finally starting to dress the part as well! My workout attire had consisted of startup t-shirts and tights from Target, but now I have a little more style while working out, thanks to prAna! They've got my back, literally. They were nice enough to gift me with the following active wear pieces (and boy are they comfy)! They gave me the Mackenzie Knickers, the Quinn Chakara top and the Kira top: I mean look how cute I look at 6:00 am! And? I look even more stylish when actually doing Pilates. ...
Twitter is Down! Now What?
I am sure you all realized that Twitter was down earlier this morning, right? No? Just me? Well, I posted it to Twitter and was asked by Dave Taylor to write about what I was doing instead of posting to Twitter. Read my post on Intuitive.com's blog.
