...that make me happy. When listening to Jimmy Eat World this morning I clicked on similar artists, and there was Tickle Me Pink!! I was so excited to see them listed with such great artists. var _qevents = _qevents || []; (function() { var elem = document.createElement('script'); elem.src = (document.location.protocol == "https:" ? "https://secure" : "http://edge") + ".quantserve.com/quant.js"; elem.async = true; elem.type = "text/javascript"; var scpt = document.getElementsByTagName('script'); scpt.parentNode.insertBefore(elem, scpt); })(); _qevents.push({ qacct:"p-22mpDezYQm3aQ" }); (more…)

Hometown for the Holidays 2011
Christmas has arrived early for me this year! And no, I am not talking about my new car (although that is a great Christmas gift. Thanks Mom and Dad!). Next week is the week that I will be listening to KTCL 93.3 as many hours of the day as possible. Why? Because it is Hometown for the Holidays!! You've never heard of Hometown for the Holidays (HTFTH)? Well, if you live in Denver and care about local music as much as me (or even just a little bit), then you have to join me and support 93.3 this week. Each year they hold this contest for local ...
Company of Thieves Cover Tom Petty
Seriously, to all of you that were not at this show last week at the Marquis Theatre (and this is directed to just about everyone I know because there were NOT enough people there), you missed a fantastic show! Opening for Company of Thieves was Popcult (seriously awesome local band), but of course COT stole the show. Genevieve Schatz is an amazing performer who captivates the audience the moment she got on stage in her sparkling dress. Not only does she know how to dance, but her voice is incredible. Don't believe me? Watch the video below, where she covers Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down:" And Oscar ...
A New Giggety-Gig(gety)
So, some of you already know this, but in case you have not heard, I have a new full time gig! Last week was my first week being a full-time employee of BlogFrog! For the past month, I have worked with BlogFrog as a contractor, and after my contract was up, they offered me a permanent position! What exactly is BlogFrog? This isn't the easiest thing to explain in a few words, so I will borrow some words from a recent writeup from The Next Web on what BlogFrog is: There are literally millions of blogs around the Internet, many with similar interests, feel and audiences, and yet there’s ...
Denver ROCKS!
Literally, according to the latest list released from Pollstar of the Top 100 Clubs Venues. (Isn't the name a little redundant?). The Ogden was listed #6 in sales for 2011 so far! Number 6...out of 100...out of the WHOLE U.S.! Yes, they say that some ampitheatres were not counted, which I prefer, because who wants to look at a list that shows Pepsi, Sports Authority and other nondescript brand names in the form of field, center etc. Also on the list from Colorado are the Boulder Theatre, Fox Theatre, Fillmore, Bluebird and Summit Music Hall. Woot! Go Colorado! Sounds awesome right? Then I started to think about it. What ...
Duran Duran – All You Need Is Now Tour
Last Tuesday, I *gasp* went to a concert! But this wasn't my normal, local band concert, it was Duran Duran! Now, while the majority of my concerts are small, local shows, I have been to my fair share of shows at stadiums. In the past few years I have seen Tom Petty, U2, The Cars, Foo Fighters, Coldplay, John 'Cougar' Mellencamp and more that I can't seem to remember right now (I really need to start a list). Anyways, I was a little hesitant to go to this show because I wasn't sure how good Duran Duran would be live, but I have to say, I was impressed! ...
Flobots.org Bowling Ball 3 – Saturday, October 8th
UPDATE: ONE REPUBLIC HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE CELEBRITY BOWLERS AND TICKETS ARE BUY ONE GET ONE FOR A LIMITED TIME! Last year Tickle Me Pink was one of the featured bands that bowled in the Flobots.org annual fundraising event, so of course I had to go! I went on the condition that I photographed the event for the band (and come on, who better to document an event than me?!). This year is shaping up to be just as fun! I mean, Tickle Me Pink won't be there, but have you seen the list of local celebs that will be there? During the final celebrity round last ...
TEDxBoulder
Coming this Saturday is TEDxBoulder at Mackey Auditorium. I have never had the opportunity to attend a TED or TEDx, so I am really excited that I finally get to go to this one! You have probably heard of TEDx, but in case you haven't, here is the definition from the TEDxBoulder website: In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x=independently organized TED ...
