Hat thwack
Sach brings back the high school "hat thwack" one evening in Golden. It's very simple - just wait until your buddy gets so engrossed in the karoke action that he is not paying attention and then take off your hat and smash it into his head as hard as possible.
Say cheese.
So I was back out in Newport Beach, CA in mid-July on some business meetings. I walked down to the beach right before sunset and stumbled upon some "engagement pictures" being taken. The photographer made the two run up and down the beach and jump for about :30min - I have video - it was great!

Doug Martsch performs outside the Fox
Doug Martsch, lead singer of Build to Spill, gave an impromtu performance outside the Fox Theatre prior to the actual show on July 10, 2006 "since the show was sold out, we figured we'd sing a few songs for those who don't have tickets". They played 6 ridiculously good songs before going in to get ready for the show. What other band would do that?

Mason Jennings at the Gothic Theatre 07.07.06
Mason Jennings at the Gothic Theatre in Denver on July 7, 2006. I've seen him before in KC and at ACLMF year2 and, as always, he is a great performer. Highlights from this show include the Neutral Milk Hotel cover "King of Carrot Flowers" as well as old songs such as "Butterfly".

$250 snowshoes purchased the the quarterly garage sale for $85! I highly recommend the REI Lakewood store rather than the one downtown if you plan to hit the next garage sale.

Rangers v Rockies
A couple of bikers at the Rangers v Rockies series at Coors Field. After a come-from-behind-win on Friday (8-6), the Rangers went on to lose both Sat (6-11) and Sun (0-3). Come on Rangers - let's keep it together till the middle of the season at least.
Camping / Fishing
Camping north of Silverthorne mid-June 2006 near Green Mtn Reservoir with Will, Adrienne, Fischer, Max and some bait stealing trout.
It's times like this when I thank GOD I drive a honda with good brakes.

Does anyone know the name of the Red Monster from Elmer Fudd cartoons?

Fly Fishing Frenzy in Silverthorne
I took a fly fishing class which culminated in a Saturday outing in Silverthorne. Fish = 1. Chris = 0.
