Sometimes the worst thing can happen and it turns out for the best. When English musician BANNERS (stage name for performer Mike Nelson) played the Bluebird Theater last month, suddenly the electricity went out... all up and down Colfax. Emergency lights came on - and opener…

I have seen The Wombats at least three or four times now (including earlier this year) and they never disappoint. Dark room, loud music - exactly what you would expect at a pop-punk show. What I didn't expect? A marriage proposal from stage. No joke.…

Gary Numan is an experience in concert. It's loud, dark, electronic – and yet somehow intimate at the same time. Photographing that can be a challenge, but thanks to the Savage tour, I now have a bunch of cool silhouettes to add to my collection.…

Jukebox The Ghost has been together for over a decade. For four of those ten years, they have been performing a "HalloQueen" show around Halloween, which consists of one set of their own songs, and one set of Queen (the band). This year, Denver hosted…

We head back to London soon, and I have been working on our packing list. I realized you all could benefit from my Type-A personality, so I will share a printable as well as a spreadsheet that you can build on yourself. I did not…

Both Bryan and I grew up in Maryland, and when you are from Maryland, you eat Maryland steamed crabs. But since we moved to Denver 24 years ago, we were a little rusty on the best places to go. Over the past year or so,…

Note: YMCA of the Rockies provided our weekend stay. All words and photos are mine. I love Estes Park as a destination. There is an adorable downtown area, and it's right at the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. I also love YMCA of the…

We are always up for a good deal and when I got a notification that Villa Del Palmar Cancun was on sale right after the New Year, I couldn't resist a quick trip back down to the ocean. Bryan was banned from our girls-only trip in…

I reach out to your office often and I feel like all I get back is form letters, so now I am taking to my blog to talk to you. I have seen in the news that it's probable you are going to vote "yes"…

We shipped one of those Pod things from my aunt's house in MD and it arrived safely today. Mostly we sent mundane stuff like the mattress Heidi had just purchased so Dex can finally have a new bed. But the single most important thing to…

It's been over a week since you passed and I haven't been able to really talk about it. I have so many thoughts and feelings, it's a little impossible to sort it all out right now. I knew when mom died, you wouldn't be long…

Note from Aimee: This year marks the 12th anniversary of my father-in-law's death. I didn't know it, but my husband Bryan has been writing a letter to him for a while. When I read it, I cried. He graciously allowed me to share it here…

Everyone likes P!NK. I mean, how can you not? She is a great singer and a bad-ass chick. I'd always heard she was good in concert but let me correct you on that one. PINK is FUCKING GREAT in concert. I like her music, but…

When I checked Glen Phillips' Wikipedia page (just to make sure I had my facts straight), I realized I am only about 6 months older than him. So, while I was working at the mall, he was starting Toad The Wet Sprocket. I discovered them in…

You have seen the shows about tiny houses, right? Have you ever stayed in one? Have you ever thought about a tiny home vacation? A tiny home is typically under 500 square feet and they have become popular because of their small impact on the environment…

As I mentioned yesterday, the kid is more and more online. This is highly due to the fact that we went ahead and gave him a phone. {Insert sigh.} It was a bit earlier than expected, but in some ways, it was the best time.…
