Telluride Bluegrass, pt 2

After an *EPIC* Thursday, we took it slow on Friday morning and enjoyed the beautiful setting and weather.

The view from the creek trail was perfect. I think the next photo is a good one.

Hey - free gondola rides!

Mt. Wilson from the top of the gondola.

Chillin' by the creek again.

Broeckero's new gig

Check this. My old boy, Broeckero, has been MIA for some time now. Yesterday, while browsing the NY Times online, I realized why. With his modeling career taking off, all I can say is, "He's so HOT right now"!

Telluride Bluegrass & Country Music Festival, 2009 - Thursday

a r i s E!

Ohhhh, beautiful vision!

Like a voice crying out in the wilderness, in the wilderness!

Tim & Jerry kicking it off on Thursday.

Sun's out, and i'm feeling fine!

Following a killer set by the Zac Brown Band, Peter takes the stage.

Here he is, taking some names...

Thinking about them, gathering the right vibes...

and KICKING SOME ASS!

This guy is realizing that this is the GREATEST Rowan live performance he has ever seen.

Hypnotic!


Here he is after the set, stunned.

The set was phenomenal. The very finest of his music. Like hymns sung in the natural cathedral that is Telluride. Arise! Skydancer.... wow!~

Favre, a purple headed warrior, pt. 5

This is just great drama!~ Our Boy , Favre, tells the douchy Joe buck that he'll play again if his arm is OK. The story here. This quote pretty much sums it up, "He said the only team he has spoken to is the Minnesota Vikings—and that they would be a perfect fit because he’s familiar with their offense."

Now you gotta ask yourself, is this the right moves for the vikes, or is this a desperate grab at faded glory, and possibly the greatest double-cross in NFL history? Yes! the conspiricacy theorist in me still believes that Favre plays the oafy chuckle-head card as a disguise for the cunning evil-genius supermind that hides within. Is ultimate shame for the Vikes his diabolical aim? or is there a much more dark and subtle goal a the heart of his devious schemes? Time will tell....

Check out the van, Man!

Check out the new trailer hitch and roof rack that I put on yesterday. The hitch was about the easiest install I have ever done on a car. 15 mintues to bolt that sucker on. Yeee-Haw! Erica bought it and a bike rack that plugs in to it. The rack is all her as well.

We bought the hood icon from Pan-Galactic Sculpture in Boulder. It's chromed aluminum, and is meant as a custom cam cover for a harley. There are few words that can accurately describe the high degree of *BADNESS* that this adds to the van. Telluride, here we come!

Durango Herald News, Paddlers revel in River Days parade

Yours truly drove my good buddy Dan's boat in the madness of the River Days float yesterday. The experience is about like having a drunk driving contest on New Years Eve - 150 boats all rolling downstream at the same time. What a blast!

State Energy Profiles - Cool Link

Even wonder how much energy comes from the US Virgin Islands? Did you know that Colorado produces half of the Coalbed methane in the country? If not, then check the DOE's nifty energy breakdown by state page here.

For the love of particulate matter....

Check this story from the Four Corners Daily Times: Ash cloud released at Four Corners Power Plant That's just dandy. Time to shut that sad old shithole down.

Mohave Generating Station gets the axe

The Arizona Republic reports today that the shuttered Mohave Generation Station near Laughlin, NV is to be razed and possibly rebuilt as a solar generating plant. You can read the full story here. One dirty-assed coal plant in the four corners region down, 3 to go!
