are you involved with the local art scene? another thing i'm working on now is Denver Arts Week ... I can never tell whether people think it's a cool event, or just sort of lame. i feel like they don't do a good job of really engaging with the arts community, it just ends up being "there are galleries and museums" check em out.

however, when I made Adam start this thread in 2005 I was WAY more into Denver then. When I first moved here, in 2002 it was amazing. It was dirt cheap (I shared an apartment and my rent was $200/month) and there were all sorts of interesting things going on. I am sure there are interesting things still going on, but I'm just older and more into staying home and grumping around.
Another thing is that it's very easy to meet people here. Folks are interested in getting to know you. I definitely hear from friends who have moved to other places that they miss that about Denver.

ha! maybe I'll apply. i used to write quite a bit for them. don't know if i'd actually like doing it though. (not that I'm terribly qualified.)
― tylerw, Monday, 13 September 2010 21:53 (fourteen years ago) link
Since when would being terribly qualified matter? If you're funny like O'neal, you can rise from being a city editor to Head Newswire Editors and Deliverer of Snark, to the point where people complain when you're not doing Newswire updates

These things may be entirely my imagination, and I have no idea if the people I saw were even Denverites, but I was in Denver's airport last night (on the way from Philadelphia to Albuquerque) and I don't think I've ever seen so many guys striding around like cowboys. It's like there really is this macho thing going on that is totally not the urban sort of macho I'm used to, more ranch macho. I also swear I have never had so many women looking at me with appreciation at one time (not counting when I dance, when women who otherwise would never notice me suddenly start smiling at me). Is the male-to-female ratio really that tough there? But as I say, it could just be my imagination or at least the filters I had on regarding Denver. Plus I was just exhausted and desperate to get home.

My impressions of Denver based on lots of prejudice plus about two and a half hours spent in the airport. . .

404 is doing lots of shows lately; went to one last weekend that was super fun! my friend andrew is going to be playing in his band tonight at the Lion's Lair - its something called FRANKSGIVING
Come celebrate the 15th Annual Celebration of Frank Bell not kicking the bucket from Crohn's disease with special guests Rockabilly Madman Ralph Gean, Get Your Going! and LITTLE FYODOR!!! Free franks, the official foodstuff of Franksgiving!!! Donation bucket for Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America! $5, cheap!!

i like the lion's lair, we played there a couple of times. i've seen bad weather california once or twice, they're good. i've sorta stopped going to local shows in denver since we had a baby, though.

is this thread ever going to take off?
― homosexual II, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 02:12 (twelve years ago) link
I'm a Boulderite. Well, actually I'm from the east coast, but I moved out here for a job and to be close to the mountains. Denver has been winning me over lately. I doubt I'd move down there, but I've had a great time.
I saw Snake Rattle Rattle Snake at the Hi Dive. They were pretty enjoyable. Certainly better than the options in Boulder: madolines or bad electronica.
― Benjamin-, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 02:33 (twelve years ago) link
hmmm. This thread should take off! I'm a Denver-person too. I suppose we could talk more about Denvery/Bouldery things itt. I'm not usually comfortable putting myself out there like this but w/e it's ilx: I play in a band called Saturn Cowboys, we do kind of rock stuff that maybe somebody out there might be into. http://saturncowboys.bandcamp.com/ <--- I like to think of this as our 'ambitious but flawed first album'
So, we're playing a show on March 24 at Lion's Lair with Bonnie and the Beard & Tin Horn Prayer, both excellent bands, + we'll be releasing the above album as a CD there. If anyone wants to come and say hey, lemme know!

nah, just visiting family and i figured i might as well pick up a gig as long as i was out there. although i'm planning on doing other weekend trips this summer and telling people it's a "tour".
xp not yet, but when it gets closer i'll invite you on facebook and post the details here. looking forward to it!
