You Kids Stay Off My Lawn

Well, my plan to write on the regular doesn't seem to be working too well so far.  What can I say?  I'm sure you're not shocked or anything.  I work too much and really don't do too much outside of that.  Big city living sure is expensive.  Maybe you got that.  Anyways, there also hasn't been much going on that I've wanted to do.  Sure, I've gone to a couple of Rockies games.  And while we're on that topic, once again the Rockies are getting hot in September in a last ditch bid to get into the playoffs.  Even if they do, the bullpen is suspect and is the reason they haven't run away with the division already.  Carlos Gonzalez is a great emerging talent who will hopefully be with the team for many years.  He has a legitimate shot at the Triple Crown, as do two other players in the NL.  It's also the only possible way I see him winning the MVP vote over Pujols.

Sorry, I wasn't intending this to be a local sports report.  Getting back on track...maybe...these next few days are my big weekend of music.  Aside from seeing Superchunk at the Westword festival back in June, I haven't been to too many shows this summer.  But that's about to change.  The next three days is my own personal end of summer rock and roll extravaganza.  Tonight, I get to see 90s indie rock legends Pavement perform at the Ogden Theater here in Denver.  I was never a huge Pavement fan, but I do own their first two records and those are both solid.  I was too much into punk when subsequent albums were released and never got into them.  The show is within walking distance of my apartment at a venue that has High Life on tap.  So, if I see or talk to you tonight, I'll go ahead and apologize for whatever now.
