hello from denver

I had a mission yesterday. I had missed the weekly congregation of people who ride bikes the night before and my day suffered immensely because of it. Liar; I awoke rested and without hangover yesterday, but still with an itch that went unscratched (it was in the taint area).
I could have tagged along with Denver's weekly bike parade that night but I didn't feel like dealing with the noise, the lack of judgment, or bike riding. I decided I'd do it like I had in the past, myself, my beer, my bike. No one would yell "yeah bike gang" on this night.

So I just went out and rode to some of the good old spots (I found a new spot as well). I took a few photos, but more than half were shit. I'm just gonna say this is a post for my broad national and international audience so it has some sort of relevance (I should probably just put a turd on it right now). From looking at the creepodepot's google analytics I know for a fact one person from most of the shitty Midwestern states has tuned in at some point in the last month; a couple of folk in Texas as well (hi Sloan's mom), howdy to y'all. But mostly I am excited to say hi to Lahore Pakistan, Thanks for reading, and I hope you don't end the world for the rest of us.
But any way here is some of the stuff I saw last night in Denver Colorado USA.


Here we see the skyline from the corner of 13th and Speer. Below this spot sits the infamous "ghetto king soopers" If you're ever in need of a money to buy pampers and crack you'll probably end up here.


This is just up 13th on the government parking garage. On the left is the mint, city&county building, and state capital. On the right is the original wing of the denver art museum designed by the great Gio Ponti.


The old-ass enclosed parking structure on Glenarm and 18th turned out to be accessible and awesome. It's 5 stories, smells like a go kart track, and will probably give you the black lung if you hang out in it too long, but the roof looks like where Batman would hang if Denver were Gotham and Batman just wanted to hang. We should go hang there too.


This is the top of the convention center. That building with the blue lights looks like it's gonna fall over, but it's not.


This is the velo hell hole you ride to get down. It's a pretty tight, continuous right hander (naughty) that can make you slightly dizzily, especially if you suffer from vertigo.

That's it for now.
