Dan shot all of the following photos at the 2018 Colorado Tiny House Festival, which covers an entire fairground in Brighton with double-wide mobile homes, towable trailers, and everything in between. (Not that you can tell, but he used the same camera that Nathan used for his mountain bike photography — Dan fell in love […]
Read MoreMountain biking, part 3: Red Mountain Open Space
This is the third and final photo essay from Nathan and Dan’s recent mountain biking excursions. (Here are part 1: Horsetooth Mountain, and part 2: Curt Gowdy State Park.) In part 3, our friend Justin joins Nathan and Dan again to take on Red Mountain Open Space in northernmost Colorado. (Below is the kind of shot […]
Read MoreMountain biking, part 2: Curt Gowdy State Park
Yesterday I started a three-part series, sharing photos from Dan and his friend Nathan’s recent mountain biking excursions. (If you missed it, here’s part 1: Horsetooth Mountain.) For part 2, our friend Justin joined Dan and Nathan for a ride through Curt Gowdy State Park in Wyoming. (Red helmet = Justin!) (Stand-up paddleboarding is on […]
Read MoreMountain biking, part 1: Horsetooth Mountain
Nope nope nope, not *me* on a mountain bike. That would be a very different kind of post, ending with photos of northern Colorado’s finest hospital. Dan’s good friend Nathan flew out from Nashville last week. He and Dan spent 3 solid days mountain biking in Colorado and southern Wyoming. I begged Nathan to snag a […]
Read MoreCamping in Moraine Park
I’m gettin’ too old for this sh*t. ??? Months ago, Dan snagged a campsite at Moraine Park in Rocky Mountain National Park. (I always say if you can camp at Rocky on a Saturday, go for it… if you can camp on a Wednesday night, even better!) That night finally rolled around, so we mounted our […]
Read More33 in 3: two-year update
Just about 2 years ago, I set myself a 33-item challenge for my 33rd birthday. I have roughly another year to complete my “33 in 3” challenge; here’s where I’ve landed so far — I need to get to work!: My 33 in 3: Move to the mountains Complete an overnight hike Complete a hike alone […]
Read MoreFiesta!
Hickory Street is perhaps half a mile from my house; I ride my bike there often. I met my friend Kate and her two sweethearts for an afternoon of ambling Sno Cones at the Fiesta de Movimiento Comunitario de Hickory Street. Kate and her boys helped judge a salsa competition as part of the festival. All […]
Read MoreRAUSCH (The Catamounts/Control Group Productions)
Early on in my time in Colorado, I was introduced to a fellow theatre critic/hobbyist who asked me what types of theatre I prefer. “The weird stuff,” I told her. “Contemporary, boundary-pushing, immersive, untested. The stuff that might not work.” She told me to keep an eye on the Boulder-based theatre group The Catamounts — […]
Read MoreLightning trip to Cincinnati
This week I took a very quick jaunt to downtown Cincinnati; I do some writing for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and was invited in for an on-site visit. I spent most of those 2ish days at work in Music Hall, but used my extra time for art, art, art. Below are a few photos I […]
Read MoreBike-up popsicles
I try to ride my bike 3-4 days per week, but if I don’t have time for a jaunt early in the morning I often need motivation to venture out into the heat. (I know, I know, it is just barely June! I’m not going to make it!) On my last ride, inspiration struck: I […]
