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.

      Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers' preseason loss to Texans

      By Icege · Posted

      I'm happy with TMac, but Tyler Warren was last season's Tyler Linderbaum for me in that he was at a position that wasn't one of the five pillars but he was the best player at his position AND one of the top talents in the draft. I cannot fuging wait for the Panthers to start winning again so that those guys fall to us like they seem to for teams like Baltimore & Philadelphia.

      Panthers' content round up

      By Icege · Posted

      Still working on consuming all of these so I don't have summaries available, but I figured there might be another Huddler or three trying to kill time before tonight's final preseason game.   Panthers Blueprint: Training Camp The in-house produced Blueprint series has given behind-the-scenes look on the field and off. Start the day with Robert Hunt's family, be in the morning meetings, mic'd up players during practice (Jaycee, Rozeboom, Icky, and Bryce), roster evaluations by the staff, and plenty of camp highlights capping off with FanFest.   Processing Blue (Mike Kaye & Alex Zietlow Mike and Alex are back talking about a variety of topics including but not limited to: joint practice + preseason game vs. Houston, Trey Hendrickson trade rumors involving Carolina, training camp awards, draft pick draft, and various thoughts about the team.   Jordan & Jake 706: Opening Day Another in-house Panthers' production, the most recent episode of Jordan and Jake talk about how to properly balance intensity in practice, react to the starters being shutdown for the preseason finale, share their thoughts on the newest Panther QB, and more.   Raw Room - Ep 278 - Gas Pedal (ft. Mike Davis) Assistant special teams' coach Darren Bates' Raw Room podcast has former Panthers' RB Mike Davis on his weekly podcast. I'm about halfway through this one and it's been a lot of fun. The Raw Room guys (DB, his friend Alex Sweets, former Eagles/Chargers OT King Dunlap, and former Atlanta DB Jalen Collins) are hilarious and Mike fits right in. They talk about his football experience coming up, decommitting from Florida and how he decided on South Carolina, and more. Warning: If you're the type of person that is easily distracted by accents, despite XL being on the team, you might have issues with understanding the Memphis dialect. If you don't care about how somebody talks, just what they're talking about, tune in!

      Allen was borderline unplayable in College.  He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has.
