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.

      Current Draft Position & Potential Prospects

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      we'll get a great player that fits our many needs.  Spent the last few weeks debating which to go with, and I ended up with McMillan.  That and another TE in the 4th (we have 2 picks in that round) will complete our offense for Bryce.    If he's not there I'll ecstatic with the DT or Edge.  I heard Carter is still raw, but Johnson is about the safest pick in the draft.  He's an island.  Matched with Horn, our rushers will have more time.   Not wild about another corner in the first, but it is a need.

      What Exactly Caused Bryces Turnaround?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Almost the tortoise and the hare.  Wax on, Wax off.  Did the humility of getting benched work?  I think the light came on and they have limited him to first read, check down.  Instead of having him progress through two or more reads.  I think he learned to adjust the offense to protect him by motioning TEs or moving RBs.  He is getting to the LOS sooner--able to read the defenses and anticipate the blitz--that is the area where he has improved the most--before he was going into the fetal position when he saw a blitz.  Now he is navigating the pocket--his movements remind me of Brees or Wilson--and I did not see that before.

      Legette is killing us

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Stroud had one of the best rookie QB seasons of all time and the Texans still went and traded a second round pick in the offseason for yet another very good receiver for him.  Was that an indictment of Stroud, needing elite talent?  Or is it simply wise for teams to invest in their young QBs? This is such an odd argument to make as a Panthers fan who had to witness the trash we gave Cam at receiver over his career here.  Wouldn't you have rather us paired him with elite talent?  The parallels run pretty deep because we even drafted Benjamin/Funchess in the 1st and 2nd rounds in back-to-back drafts.  Except Benjamin/Funchess as a duo were much more formidable than Legette/Mingo in their first years together (yes Benjamin was injured, but I mean on paper in terms of talent + ability).  I mean, as much as we clown on Funchess in here...Funchess' rookie season and Legette's projected rookie season look pretty damn similar on paper except Legette is playing ~30% more snaps than Funchess did.  Imagine giving Cam Devin Funchess as his #1 WR and thinking "yep...that's good enough.  He's a first overall QB, we don't need to give him elite talent at every position".  I think Legette is promising and I'm excited about his potential, but I sure as hell ain't putting all my eggs in that basket.
