Monolith was cool.

September 16, 2008

I’m sorry I haven’t called or written for a while. My awesome parents were in town this weekend, and B and I spent a lot of time at Monolith (great scheduling on our part, of course). I didn’t even have time to cheer against the Broncos this weekend, but let’s say I did and that’s why they won. Oh! I did have time to think of a new advertising slogan for the Rockies. Remember how last year they had Rocktober? Well, this year, they have Sucktember.

Anyway, I just put together what I think is an excellent playlist of Monolith highlights. I submitted it to iTunes, but I’m not sure when it’ll be up there. So, here’s the track list (it’s a pdf): monolith-playlist.

I’ll update this when the iMix is up so you can easily download these tracks. If you’re not already listening to this stuff, you should be.

Update: You can get the iMix here.

Awesome DNC Events

August 24, 2008

No sports news today — we were out all day hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, getting caught in an afternoon rainstorm, and then enjoying beer and pizza.

Things are starting to get exciting and convention-y here in Denver. I was just scrolling through the list of DNC events on The Denver Post website — holy crap, there are a million events. Here’s the highlight for tomorrow:

Shake Your Money Maker — Denver Mint
Monday, Aug 25 12:00p
at United States Mint, Denver, CO
Open to the public. Join us as we encircle the Denver Mint (where U.S. currency is produced) and use our collective power to raise the mint building in the air and shake the money out of it for the people.

I might have to take an early lunch and check this out.
