Denver Times
I'm getting excited for this weekend. Which is unfortunate, seeing as I still have several hours of work and showering ahead of me before it truly starts. But here's the rundown:
TONIGHT: Party for a new magazine here in town that I've done some PR work for. I'll give you a cryptoquip for the name so it doesn't show up on Google searches but it's like when Styx sings "I am the MODREN man" except use the, um, correct word and then the second part is "IN" and then the third is the city that is one-mile high. Phew. Glad we got through that. Anyhows, there's a launch party for it tonight over on the rooftop of the swankadoo condos abutting the Liebeskind-designed Denver Art Museum and I've cajoled my dear sweet Angela into being my plus one (her work is also featured in the premier issue) so looky here! That's good stuff. I may even wear a bra. Or Angela's bra. Undecided.
TOMORROW: Matt's family is having the latest of their once-every-ten-years "Zero's Party." This is to celebrate all the family members born in a year ending in 8, which apparently numbers in the dozens. I'm bringing cupcakes and a penchant for public drunkenness, and have also extended the invitation to my dear sweet Marie so that she too may glory in the glory that is an outdoor party in 100-degree heat with Irish people who don't like seeing your glass half-empty. I predict sunstroke and alcohol poisoning in equal parts.
DAY AFTER TOMORROW: My dear sweet Matt has promised me the best of all gifts of this day: 24 (give or take 18) hours of work on my house! This pleases me to no end, as it will give me a chance to attack some of the Jurassic Park-style weeds in my backyard (seriously, what I would GIVE for a brontosaurus to help out with lawn maintenance) as he runs outdoor conduit for my *best*purchase*ever* swamp cooler. There's even a planned trip to CENTENNIAL, COLORADO to procure some bushes for my landscaping treatment in the front yard. I'm all, "Have Bush, Will Travel." But anyway. We'll cap off the day during a kick-backed showing of Dark Knight and maybe...just maybe...try to best our current record score of 75,000 on Text Twist.
My privates are already burning in excitement. At least...I think that's what it is.
