What’s going to happen right after work? Like right after work? Well, I’m going to get on my bike, cruise over to my local record shop and pick up the Those Darlins album, that’s what.
T-minus whenever I finish all this stuff. In the meantime, it’s “Red Light Love” and “Wild One” for me.
Recommended beer pairing: Blue Paddle if in Colorado, Kelso pilsner if in New York.
I’ve been without cable or Internet for nearly a week now, so please leave any crucial Internet memes or television moments in the comments.
I feel a little weird about this show in which I am asked to watch people drink beer that is down the road from me. Though I do love that they get into Stranahan’s, Colorado’s first whiskey distillery. Sit back with a brew of your own, if you like, and watch:
Two recommended Denver trips for Boulder music lovers in July (follow me on Twitter and I’ll remind you when we’re closer):

Hey sports fans, I’m starving and eager to learn and try something new. I’ve had black bean burgers in restaurants (and at least one frozen one), but I’ve never made my own. Who’s got a good recipe? Leave recipes or links in the comments and I’ll try one out soon!
It’s been more than two years since I left Boulder for New York, but I’m coming back. I’m really excited to return to a city that is statistically the best (see chart). Now I need your help to reconnect!
