Hello From Denver (damn, a few weeks too early)
August 9th, 2008 adminTomorrow is our last day in Denver. We had spent half the week here for a conference (yes, both my wifey and I were at the same business conference.) While I saw her sporadically during the conference at least we got to share a room and spent the rest of the weekend here.
I don’t think I’ve ever spent any time in Denver. I’ve been to Colorado Springs, Grand Junction, and some of the ski areas to the West but not specifally Denver. The city is really great. Our hotel is right in the middle of the city (very new Hyatt). The streets are very pedestrian friendly and the weather has been great.
While our conference was going on there was additionally a sci-fi convention. So everyday you would see a bunch of dorks in medivel cloaks or futuristic dork gear (very interesting). I had found a place on tv (I think on Tasty Treats on Food Network) that was in Denver. So I made a note of it, and we made a reservation for last night. The place was called “Vest Dipping Sauces”, and it was amazing! The atmosphere was loud, but hip and urban. The food was amazing. I had a raw tuna mixed with seaweed salad and thai chilis and a ribeye for dinner (both were amazing). My wifey had mussels for an appetizer and Korean BBQ scallops for a main entree (both were also very good.) The unique factor to this place was that you got to pick 3 dipping sauces for your food. They ranged from sweet to savory to spicy. If you’re ever in Denver you should check this place out. (It’s in LODO near Coors Field).
All around Denver there is a huge buzz about the upcoming DNC convention. It’s going to be right around the corner from where we are staying. Everywhere they’re selling Obama t-shirts. No McCain shirts - but come on, who wants to wear a shirt with McCain’s face on it?? I wish I could be here for it. It would be amazing! Oh well. I’ll have to watch my guy Obama on tv instead.
Tomorrow were back home and back to work on Monday. This week should be interesting. I just hired a new marketing coordinator. I’m confident she’s gonna be awesome! We shall see. At least I’m sure she’ll help to relieve some of my workload.
