So funny story: I was living in Virginia for school, moved to Wyoming, then Savannah (Charleston part-time), then to Charlotte, and now to DC...within the past 2 years.   

 

Now I've only been in DC for a month in a good ole' corporate marketing position and got word from out west (in Denver) that I've been accepted into grad school for architecture.  Put my acceptance in the mail today.  

 

Now I've stayed there a few times over the years in Wash Park and Highland which are sweet spots but still could know more about the area.  I'm just pumped and was looking for recommendations from any knowledgeable huddlers on the town.

Smoke some weed for us.

I also want to see what kind of buildings stoners will design.

 

haha

 

Apparently because of the legality deal, all types of schools have been flooded with applicants.  

 

I've actually been on a break for the last ~2 months.

Going to Colorado in  July for 3 straight nights of red rocks concerts. Will be my first time in Colorado. So excited

 

Make it a road trip, do the Bourbon Trail on the way, and download "tvfoodmaps".    

 

Boom!

Congrats on the acceptance, man.  I always had a passion for architecture and design, generally.  Never followed through with that; instead, I went to law school . . . .  Haha, it was all worth it, though, and I'm happy.  Hope it all works out for you.

my friend took an americorp in denver that paid like 900 bucks a month.  he had a spot a few blocks behind colfax ave (don't remember if it was east or west colfax, but it was in walking distance of the capitol building and many bars).  he ate a lot of rice and beans that year, but managed to live.  i rode with him down there when he moved.  we stayed at a hostel for a few nights before i flew back to okc.  he found a place to live within a week.  i could ask him for some advise if you'd like.

Sure why not. I'm considering buying a condo/loft/townhouse so any areas with an active night life + culture is cool by me.

What kind of nightlife? LoDo is where all the kids goto drink. But they do have 1 Up near the baseball stadium, if you're into older pinball and arcade games.

Your biggest problem is going to be choosing what local beer to have. I recommended anything Great Divide

well obviously, he knew he would only be there a year, so he wasn't looking to buy.  but at a minimum, i could ask about locations.

      When a boy becomes a MAN!

      I'd argue that he has easily been a top 15 player the last several weeks.  In the last two weeks alone, he was equal to Mahomes and outplayed Baker. PFF says he is #1 in the NFL in "big time throws" the last two weeks. That doesn't mean it automatically translates to him being better than other QBs in the long term. But he has looked just as good as any Year 2 QB since he returned to the lineup.    Yes, including Stroud. Against KC and TB, he was the best Panthers player on the field.

      What Exactly Caused Bryces Turnaround?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      It seemed like Bryce being tough as a mutha….. last year caught up with him. He took a million hits was pressured every other play last year and it seemed like he was in a rush earlier this season to get the ball out his hand. His confidence was low as it gets, he wasn’t comfortable in the pocket at all and every target he’s had so far has been subpar or below outside of AT. Mingo in Dallas looks like a 7th rd WR, TMJ out the league Ian T being your top TE (yuck) I like D Johnson but he’s not that dude he’s talented can make things happen but being a team player and good teammate matters a lot. Combine those factors and I can see why Bryce struggled earlier. His current group of WRs are trying to make plays for him and the team doesn’t pout or complain if they don’t get the ball in game that helps. His confidence is through the roof he saw Andy standing in the pocket comfortable making plays and realized I can do that trust my line they’re a top 5-7 pass blocking unit trust them.Now he sees he can make plays on this level with decent blocking and a few play makers he’s looked like his normal self. A winner who’s won on all levels I’m not saying he’s Mahomes or anything close it’s just he can play ball at this level but he needs his situation to be set up way better then last year when he had TMJ and DJ Chark being his weak azz to options that’s not going to work for any young QB.  I’d say it’s a combination of things obviously coaching being one with the O-line and the new hungry play makers we’ve acquired roll that up and you have what we’ve seen lately a young QB learning his way around the NFL and looking good doing it.

      I totally agree with this.  My thought is that there were too many expectations that were placed on him. He was straight out of college. I think as a freshman quarterback, he was expected to start playing like Patrick Mahomes.  My analogy is that he was thrown into the deep end of the swimming pool and expected to swim to shore. after he was benched, he had the opportunity to learn from a veteran quarterback.  He was no longer under pressure to perform.  He had the opportunity to learn at his pace.     When Bryce got the second opportunity to play, he started to play as an NFL quarterback. (Not a college trained quarterback. ).  I think he also gained enough confidence.
