Things to do in Denver

(looks sheepish about not phoning for ages)

Go to the Tattered Cover bookshop and buy lots of stuff you can't get here yet and nice magazines you won't be able to get here at all. Also I remember Grant & Jerry's record exchange on Colfax having tons of second hand (and kitsch) stuff I would have bought if I'd had the luggage to get it all home again. Wax Trax is a good place to buy CDs - it's on 13th Ave between Washington & Pennsylvania (I think - heck, Mandee knows where it is) and there are some second hand clothes shops round there too, but I found them fairly expensive. And Cherry Creek mall is hy-uge. And the Central Library on W. 14th Ave has free internet access. Will you smuggle me back some beef jerky please?

I'm never going back.

mark: um, go and sit on of the steps of the capitol and be a mile high and beside a plaque and get a photo. of course!

My only real memory of Denver was the extraordinary sight of this very regular grid city on a flat plain, then some miles west, the Rocky Mountains start, straight up, no foothills.

GO TO CASA BONITA!!!!!!!!

for instance, take a look at the following photo of and a friend in front of one of these scary murals:

Creepy Mural

but so is this: go eat ROCKY MOUNTAIN OYSTERS

I'm in Denver until Wednesday. Peeps, help me find some interesting stuffs to look at and good sources of vegetarian chow. So far, only the Denver art museum is on my list and visiting an aunt-in-law.

I miss Denver.

I would go to the state capitol building and get my picture taken on the step marking Foot #5,280.

I see that Denver has glommed onna 5280 just like SF has 7x7.

¿If I fornicate in Denver am I in mile-high club?

lose by 18 pts.

libcrypt for vegetarian food visit city o' city or watercourse

city o city is on 13th and sherman. take I-25 south to colfax, exit heading east. turn right on grant off colfax, then turn right again on 13th avenue. it's right next to a hair place called moxie right before sherman.

watercourse is on 17th avenue and emerson. it's way great and probably better than city o' city. again, take I-25 south to colfax, exit heading east. turn left on lincoln. turn right on 17th. then take a left on emerson to look for parking. it has green awnings and is on the northwest corner of 17th and emerson.

DAM is a fun time. You could also try the new museum of contemporary art on 15th and delgany. I haven't been there yet myself.

You should go up to the mountains or something! Did you know it snowed here yesterday morning? It was bizarre. It's usually warmer this time of year.

or for something sort of surreal and gross try casa bonita

there's a good used record/book store out in wheatridge called black and read that I love

Not very interesting to look at, but some good finds.

I’m going to denver this weekend! Anything of note going on re: music, film, art? Chill places to hang out? Parks to run in? Food?
