Weekend update 04/05/09

Well the "HUGE"spring storm has come and gone and instead of 10-16 inches of snow we got maybe 2. Way to go meteorologist! the only job where you can be wrong time after time and still have a job the next day. And like this time when your wrong people will thank you. Oh what a job.
Im writing again. I've had the story in my head for some time now and i think pure laziness as kept me from putting it on paper.

I've been re-reading a lot of stuff online regarding story structure. Its all about the beginning, the middle and the end along with the two plot twist on at the end of act I and the other at the end of act II as shown in this chart off of Michael Hauge's Screenplay Structure. Five key points in a script

It is visually the best thing that i have found that explains the six stages of one's story.

I have found a new addiction in Twitter. i don't know why, but i cant stop.And since the news/goverment had us scared with the "HUGE" spring storm that was going to cripple the city I had planned on staying inside all weekend long. I had planed on picking up my daughter on Sunday but she told me that she would rather spend time with her mother who because of work she doesnt get to see her but for a few minutes in the morning. which was fine with me being that we were to be snowed in anyway. Next weekend we have a Easter egg hunt to go to on Saturday morning and in the afternoon were going to see Monsters and Aliens. WHOOOO. I report back on that when the time comes. Till then have some mucsic.

Good Bye Cutler

The saga is finally over and Denver has lost. The Denver Broncos today traded Jay Cutler, who was and still is the second coming of the man himself John Elway after a month long saga. Cutler is the real deal, a truly dominant player but he also is the city's biggest cry baby who ever played professionally in this great state. Depending on the side that you listen to you will learn a few different things.

From the Broncos we could learn that the NFL is a business and teams will do what ever it takes to make it themselves the best franchise overall. And that means firing the Coach/ General Manager and threaten to trade the star player in order to "shake"things up a bit.

From Cutler we learn that even though the player make millions of millions of dollars they are still human and young and if you cut them and if you have ever talked to him or someone like him you probably will want to they will bleed and then whine like the little bitch that he is!!!

Review: Tooey's off colfax

A few weeks ago, i was having a few drinks at one of my new favorite club nights in Denver (Lipgloss at La Ruhmba, we will talk about that place later) and I was outside trying to stay warm as I finished my cigarette when I was approached by a short and attractive woman named Alissa who was in need of a light for her cigarette. She said that she was a former PBR rep and that she just opened her first bar. She was so excited about the place. She gave me her business card and she wrote on the back of it, good for two free drinks. I turned the card over to revel the name...

Tooey's off Colfax
1521 Marion st
303-586-5075
Tooey's off Colfax
Winner of the Westword 2009 Best New Bar in Town. Crongrats!

Alissa and her husband bought the old Baca Room and with a quick remodel the place was open fro business. There was no cover and it's only a few short blocks from my house so last Friday night a friend and I took a walk down to Tooey's off Colfax.

It was shortly after ten and we were having a little trouble at first finding the place( they need a bigger sign, maybe one that lights up) we arrived. Its located right behind Kinga Lounge and The Irish Snug on Colfax if and when you go and cant find the place.

If it wasn't for the bar in the middle of the place it would look more like a art studio with several excellent pieces of local artwork on the walls.

I wasn't expecting to find the gem that I found.

The crowd was a mixture of people all young and friendly and the drinks were cheap. Not only because I had my little free drink card which gave me two free drinks. I didint even end up useing it because it made me fell like a cheapskate. They had a local hip hop band consisting of three friends and they were freakish good, providing good sound for the night. As it got later the tiny place began to fill and shortly become standing room only and no one seemed to mind

After all is said and done the staff at Tooey's is a super cool chill bar with incredibly friendly staff so please stop by after work or on Saturday and have a drink or two.
