In Colorado, you know you are a true local celebrity when you are immortalized in a cartoon by Denver Westword 's Kenny Be. Our friends the Pleasures Dudes , who were featured in a cover story last year, were recently depecited in Kenny Be's " Worst-Case Scenario ." Earlier this summer, they traveled to Los Angeles to attend the F.A.M.E. (Fans of Adult Media & Entertainment) Awards which was hosted...
I've been working a lot. A lot . I've been doing a variety of things with Westword , above and beyond my normal slate of writing. It's been pretty cool. The work has been consistently interesting and there is plenty of variety. I've gotten a chance to practice some skills that have atrophied in the year since I stopped going to school. And it's been good to be making some money. I'm going to try...
I've been busy, busy, busy at Westword the past few weeks, filling in for a position I had applied for. I didn't get the job, which is a mixed bag. On the one hand, I like working there and the job would have been a great feather in my cap. On the other, it allows me to concentrate more on actual writing, which is what I love to do, rather than some of the other duties that would have gone along...
...item Q&A is full of precious nuggets of wisdom and funny. Not So Subtle, Does It Offend You, Yeah? is also Not So Offensive In the shameless self promotion department, I offer my latest feature for Westword , on the new buzz band Does it Offend You, Yeah? Stupid name, huh? The music is kind of stupid too, but also stupidly catchy electrorock fusion. ABLK Is is an acronym? A random selection of...
There is a new thing, but it's not completely new. More like an evolution of two other things into a new thing. It's this . What that is is a new combined slideshow/show review format. Suggested by...36 hours, excepting the catnap, without sleep. Probably why I spiraled off into that whole live review thing... I think that is it. I should go before I think of anything else. Go check out my thing.
...of directors, and she helped organize that group's 25th anniversary party in 1994. In 2002, the GCSC was prominently featured in an article titled, " Swingtime in the Rockies ," published by Westword , Denver's alternative weekly newspaper. The following year, it was honored as " Best Swinger Club " in that newspaper's annual "Best of Denver" issue. According to cached versions of the GCSC's...
Well, last week my first feature story ran in Westword. It's here and it's on The National. And I saw them last night, and the review is here and it was awesome. And after the show, the singer, Matt Berninger, said he liked the piece because it made him sound cool, which was awesome. Awesome. In other news, I've been sort of too busy to blog here. I've been blogging like a crazy motherfucker...
My laptop isn't dead yet, but its last days are on the horizon. It's contracted what will surely be a terminal issue: the plug that charges the battery is going all wonky, so sometimes it simply stops... Shirtless blogging FTW! I'll need to put on a shirt to cover the show I'm going to tonight, but that's a small price to pay. BTW, when you're bored, go check out my blogs and live reviews
I finished my internship at Westword last week. It was a great experience, and in ideal end-of-internship form, they're retaining me in a freelance capacity, doing pretty much what I was doing as an intern but for a little more money. And since I am freelance, I get to work from home, which is damn cool. It means I can work while sitting around in a ratty-ass T-shirt and shorts from the comfort of...
