Fun Day

Last night was nice. Our roommate Jared made dinner for us. I helped. His friend, also named Jared came over. We talked for a while about punk. He said that he wants to start a punk scene here. Just something rocking, because all they've got here is jam bands and he's sick of that. I told him that'd be fun and we should tear Boulder apart. Like start tagging up the place and write "Punk's not dead!" or stuff like that around. Start slashing tires. Just be ridiculous.

All of Jared's friends are awesome. He totally reminds me of Mike (T-Money), my friend from LA.

So today we went to Target so Jeanne could get an interview and it just furthered our whole belief of staying away from corporations. We walked towards the "Old Market" area of Boulder. On the way, Brian, another friend we met last night who had me in stitches all night, drove by and met up with my roommate and we met them a block ahead and walked with them to the Pearl St area. We stopped by the house that "Mork & Mindy" was filmed at. I didn't recognize it, because I never really watched it. But it was based in Boulder and filmed at that house.

Jared told us that the house is now a historical landmark and it sucks because no one's allowed to live in it. So we walked up and hung out on the porch and looked in and kept saying stuff like, "It looks like someone does live here." "No. No one lives here." "I don't know. Look at the way the pillows on the couch. Someone totally lives here."

All the while, Jeanne's saying, "There's two mailboxes on the fence here. Both with names on them and mail in them." No one hears here. Jared tells us that it is a nice house and nice porch swing and how a couple times he's just stopped by and hung out on the porch swing. We started contemplating on ringing the doorbell but didn't.

As we walked away, that's when we noticed the mail. I wonder how often that happens at that house? It's like that place in Chicago's bad ghetto area that Al Capone had a house and everyone stops by that guy's place to see it. I'd be annoyed. But, if I knew that about the places, I wouldn't move in.

We ate at this brewery called Mountain Sun. They have like a million beers on tap. I talked to the owner who said they were hiring, but I need to come on Monday and talk to Tim. This place is almost exactly the type of place I'd like to open up. Awesome food. Thick, crispy bacon and huge quesadillas. They have a ginger beer. I had this Java stout that was fucking bomb. They also feature beer on tap that, I forget what the process is, but it's the way that Guiness is draught, that it makes a smoooth, creamy, foamy head.

I applied at the Co-op as well and an Army Surplus store. Jared said that he knows the owner and workers at this place called Trilogy, which is like La Buvette if the Upstream owned it. But it's cool. There's a great video shop there, too, that has "Decline of a Western Civilization." I've not been able to find that movie anywhere. On the net or anywhere it just doesn't exist. I had an opportunity once in LA to see that, part II, and Suburbia at the Egyptian Theatre with Penelope Spheeris there for Q&A. I had to work instead.

The only thing I haven't found yet, but haven't really been looking for, is an awesome diner or someplace cool for Sunday brunch.

I also read that Boulder was the setting that Stephen King used for "The Stand." Also, it's thought to be known as the setting for "South Park," because those dudes went to school here and it's a small mountain side city.
