11/27/12 - Free Zoo Day, American Apparel $25 for $50

Free Day at the Denver Zoo 11/28/12

I love the Denver Zoo. This statement might surprise some people that know me. My first job was working at the zoo. While many people may not have fond memories of their first jobs, the long hours that I worked were offset by walks by the pachyderms and lions, not to mention the great people that I met. I truly was saddened when I heard the Mimi the elephant passed away earlier this year. I remember walking by the elephant exhibit (pre-Toyota Passage), and when the elephants were outside, I truly believed that they would walk along side of me. 
Mimi
Tomorrow the zoo is having its last Free Day of the year. The zoo is open from 10-5 for the "free" hours. The zoo lights........WHICH ARE AMAZING...... is extra, but I go every year and am never disappointed.

$8 - $12 Thursday 11/8/12 Your Brain on Art presentation at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art 


As a wanna-be-artist brain nerd myself, I am always interested in the science of creativity. The presentation this Thursday will be discussing creativity and improvisation. The varied panel includes a brain surgeon and two musicians (one jazz and one hip-hop),  mediated by a cognitive scientist. Your brain can behave in profoundly unique and creative ways when it's improvising. I am personally intrigued by this presentation.
