This is an amazing musical. Wish they had done this live at the Oscars tonight.
Flavor Tripping and the Miracle Fruit
I honestly had no idea what to expect when my friend Anna invited me to a party at her house where the theme was to take a pill that was created from some miracle fruit. The miracle fruit somehow reacted with your taste buds and altered how you tasted salty and sour foods. Anna had a bought a smorgasbord of foods ranging from IPA’s, whiskey, tomatoes, lemons, war heads, cheeses, olives and more. When you take the pill you are supposed to let it dissolve on your tongue and come into contact with as many taste buds as possible, which made for some funny faces and quotes: ...
What Music Scene?
Let's face it, the music scene here in Boulder is, well, lacking. Okay even that is being a too nice. The music scene here sucks. There is no community for bands and artists, and even if there was a small, supportive one, there are no venues to accommodate local bands. When I think of venues in Boulder, I think of the Fox Theatre, Boulder Theater, Club 156 and maybe the Brick House at Lazy Dog. Both the Fox and Boulder theaters are too big for most local artists and likely too expensive to them as well. I have never been to Club 156, and the few times ...
Know Arcade Fire, Or Hipsters Will Kill You
Nice little spoof on the backlash Arcade Fire saw after they won a Grammy.
It Is Official: I Am MOVING!
Now that the stress of finding a place is gone, all I have to do is pack, clean, move and be out of my place by the end of the month (but I am not freaking out…yet).
Oops… I got a parking ticket
I am currently trying to get my life in order and organized and unfortunately part of that process is paying bills and past due parking tickets. I have no idea where the actual tickets are, so I found the Boulder Parking website and tried to enter my license plate number hoping it would pull up my ticket(s) (yes there was more than one). But without the citation number, this is as far as I could get: So I did what anyone (in Boulder) would do. I tweeted: The only response I received (besides some retweets) was from Boulder Parking: But unfortunately that was the link went to the ...
Keepstream Review
I use my Twitter favorites more often then not as a 'read later' or 'don't forget to share this with so and so later' more than a 'I love this tweet!' Then I usually forget to go back and read the article or share the photos with anyone. I favorite tweets for different reasons, think it will be useful at work, it is about a band I like, I want to share it with someone etc. There are different reasons that I try to keep straight in my head, but I sometimes forget why I marked a tweet or article. Earlier today I read an article ...
End of an Era
I have no idea what to expect when Tickle Me Pink takes the stage for the last time on March 5th, but I expect the crowd will be full of friends, there will be plenty of shots (Jagermeister and tequila), lots of hugs, hours of music and hopefully only a few tears. Either way, I am certain that the night of March 5th will mark the end of an era that I am very proud to say I have been a part of since the beginning.
The 5 Commandments of Unfriending Your Ex This Valentine’s Day
I am not going to claim that I have followed any of these rules, but there were times when I probably should have. Advice always seems easier to follow when it is being given by someone with an accent. I also love Brad's update "Don't tell Angie, but I can't find Shiloh."
Smile! Missing Sync
After reading through my conversation with Jason at least 3 times in the past few days, I am so grateful that I will always have access to our messages. I can look back at our texts and will forever be reminded about his biggest message to me: “smile.” Jason always told me he loved my smile. He was the person who could always text me and make me smile.
