Garbage and Shirley Manson at Denver's Fillmore Auditorium in 2016

Garbage at the Fillmore in Denver

Garbage. When I say their name, invariably someone starts singing a line from their favorite song - usually "I'm only happy when it rains." Personally, my fave is "I Think I'm Paranoid," and while there are a ton of great tunes to choose from, be…
Hall & Oates headline Red Rocks with Trombone Shorty and Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings

Hall and Oates Sing Their Hits at Red Rocks

Hall. And. Oates. You guys! As a teen of the 80s, I could sing along with every song this duo played during their stop at Red Rocks, and most of the crowd was right there with me, even in a torrent of rain. Yeah, it…
Riot Fest Denver Day 3 - Concert Photos

Riot Fest Denver Day 3 culminated with the reunion of the *ORIGINAL* Misfits, who have pretty much hated each other for 30 years. I have no idea how they pulled this off, other than perhaps some massive therapy. They sounded great, but sadly, no photographers…
Recycle Paint with PaintCare

PaintCare “Use It Up” Recycle Contest for Colorado

I love how things come together fortuitously. Recently, I was chatting with friends in the social media world about all the projects I have been doing - and want to do - around the house. A big one for this fall includes painting my bedroom - the first time it will be done in the 16 years we have owned this house - eeks. And the other was a massive cleanout of our garage that had been filled from floor to ceiling with leftovers of actually living in this space for 16 years. I had been pondering what to do with old paint, and my friends pointed me to PaintCare.
  • PaintCare is the organization that oversees the official paint recycling program in Colorado and eight other states across the U.S.
  • PaintCare’s goal is to teach people in Colorado to “Buy Right” - which means to buy the right amount of paint; to “Use it Up” - which means to find ways to use up leftover paint; and “Recycle the Rest” - to recycle unwanted paint.
  • There are more than 145 sites for Coloradans to recycle their paint.
Awesome! Where have you been all of my life? But it gets better...
The Head & The Heart return to Red Rocks in 2016 with opener Tallest Man on Earth.

The Head and The Heart at Red Rocks

I'll be honest. I came late to The Head and The Heart party. Everyone told me how great they are, and I liked their music, but I didn't LOVE LOVE LOVE any of their songs till this year's "All We Ever Knew." That's a tune…
