Seriously good food to be found at WaterCourse Foods restaurant. I really like the food here and I am not vegan or vegetarian. I, personally, am a fan of the tomato coconut curry soup and the Don Juan sandwich.

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.

$25 for $50 (or $50 for $100) Worth of American Apparel Clothing and Accessories Online or In-Store

Well..shoot.. that is a good deal .... Socially responsible, stylish, and comfortable. What else can I say? The deal is going for the next few days, but I would recommend buying sooner rather than later, so that you can start shopping! ALSO, cyber Monday has been extended, sooo anything that you would buy between now and midnight, would also be an additional 20% off. Say What?! Use checkout code Monday12 at checkout for the additional 20% off.

$25 for $50 (or $50 for $100) Worth of Clothing and Accessories Online or In-Store. Valid in the US Only.

$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.
