It fascinates me how people respond to art in general, and movies in particular. If I had a beer with you right now, the odds are good we’d eventually talk movies. I’d pick your brain about them and try to get a handle on what you like, what you dislike, and why. One person views […]

I don’t know about you, but I love a little metal in my weekend. A cold beer and some face melting guitar solos just make everything seem right with the world. When I see a big bearded dude with a gauged septum ring happily headbanging away in his natural environment, there’s only one word for […]

Denver is a gorgeous city with plenty of activities year-round. From the sprawling mountains to the peaceful and serene lakes, you really can’t beat Denver as a place for young professionals, established families, or retirees. Of course, like all major cities, there are subtle nuances that you should be aware of before you make the […]
