The X Staff

Frusciante is back for his third stint with the band.

I'm super excited that I get to bring Funny Fridays to the X!  Live comedy is guaranteed to lift your spirits every time.  In fact, I'll just come right out & say it:  One of the reasons I get involved with this is because I like to check out these shows myself!! ...

This is just one reason why I don't hunt.  I would probably be stupid, thinking "Oh, elk wander everywhere in the Rockies - they serve it at restaurants - must be perfectly fine to shoot one! According to the Associated Press, someone living in Wyoming just happened to be watching an episode of "Hunting in the Sticks" on the Pursuit Channel...

I'm including a gallery of some fun from when I attended Tour de Fat in 2014.  I haven't been back yet, because my girls were still a little small, and, well... a drunk dude crashed into us.  Which was actually hilarious, because he fell over and we didn't...

We have the ultimate First World Problem here:  There are so many amazing concerts coming to Colorado this year that it's hard to choose which ones to hit.  Might as well hit them all, then apologize later! The Vans Warped Tour will be making its stop at the Pepsi Center Grounds on June 25th...

For a place that has so much to offer, Northern Colorado has always been lacking in the record store department, in my humble opinion.  So thank goodness we have Downtown Sound in Loveland and Bazaar Bizarre in FoCo, as they get record geeks like myself by...

So I've now played two Side Tracks in less than a month that have been featured in TV commercials.  Honestly, in both cases, the commercial left me hungry for the rest of the song.  Neither ad left me wanting the product being advertised, but hey - I have written commercials for a long time, so I'm a tough sell...

If you haven't seen National Lampoon's Vacation (not talking about the Christmas one here,) please do yourself a huge favor and do so.  I would submit that, even though it's almost 35 years old, it's still flipping hilarious. Since I don't remember Water World that far back, I don't know what it was like there in the '80s...

I used to hear this one come on the radio and no matter how rough my day was going, I would try to sing along with it, because it’s just one of those songs that demands you do that.  It’s so catchy, which is probably why it was a hit...

I really want to check out Pagosa Springs, and no, not because clothing is optional, that’s one of those things that at first sounds like, “Ooh, yeah,” but if you go there, it might not be the most pleasant thing in the world.  To each his own...

Straight out of Laramie, Wyoming, Teenage Bottlerocket put a photo up online of them working away at Fort Collins’ famous Blasting Room.  This band has been through quite a bit.  I remember when a friend of mine used to bring their CDs over to my house, as he is close friends with the group...

Even though it hasn't been the most "epic" ski season, it has been anything but boring!  One of the first things I ever posted at the X was the Rocky Mountain elk ramming its way into an historic hotel in Glenwood Springs. Later on, we had this one: Then, there was the moose attack at Aspen that followed surviving an avalanche...
