We did not spend our entire Denver visit inside the DCPA. Below are a few more photos from our meanderings, including some decent German food and a trip down a swanky part of Larimer Street we’d not happened upon before. Not pictured: the red velvet waffles at The Corner Office. Good morning.
Read MoreColorado New Play Summit
As Dan and I were making our plans to move to Colorado, my friend and colleague Rick Pender gave me a heads-up about the Colorado New Play Summit, a two-week festival of commissioned work that takes place at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. On the first weekend, the Summit offers up staged readings […]
Read MoreYeti Cave CrossFit, or how I learned to stop worrying and love the gym
I kept my gym attendance a secret from nearly everyone for several months. My goal was to surprise my mom during her first visit — at various times mom has been a bit of a gym rat herself, so I knew she’d be delighted. And more than a little shocked. Mom’s visit has come and […]
Read MoreLafayette — err, scratch that, Erie
Here’s a picture of a place where Dan and I didn’t eat. We have made some great friends who live in Lafayette, about an hour from Fort Collins. The plan was to meet them at a favorite hang of theirs, Community… but upon arrival, the restaurant was closing for a private party. It looked cool. […]

I’m starting to find my way through the Fort Collins arts scene, and I believe that CSU’s School of Music, Theatre and Dance will be a regular part of my theatre diet.

Recently I was offered the chance to take in a show at Backstage Theatre in Breckenridge, Colorado. Breckenridge is about 2.5 hours from Fort Collins, so it would be no small schlep to get there — however, Dan has been itching to try his hand at skiing again. We made a quick weekend of it. […]
Read MoreThe Coles do Fort Collins, part 2
Before sending our good friends the Coles on their way back to Ohio, we were able to soak in a bit more of Colorado. Including ten different types of weather. Kris and Jen wanted to take in some nature during their visit, so we took a 4-hour round-trip drive to State Forest State Park. We […]
Read MoreThe Coles do Boulder
While our good friends the Coles were in town, we spent an evening painting the town of Boulder red. We spent most of our free time on Pearl Street, as one does. We visited favorite shops including the Boulder Book Store, Two Hands Paperie and Fjällräven. We found a new favorite shop as well, Spinster […]
Read MoreThe Coles do Fort Collins, part 1
Meet Kris and Jen Cole, two of Dan and my best friends from home in Cincinnati. The Coles chose the date for their first visit to Colorado before we had even booked our moving truck in Ohio. I’ve been counting the days until their first visit. I feel as though I didn’t take enough pictures […]
