Weekender

It is the weekend, and it looks like we will be getting our first taste of Fall for this one (ok, so it isn't going to be flannel underoos weather, but it will be crisp, especially in the evenings.)

I will be spending part of mine in orientation for my latest educational endeavor... there is something very comforting about a college campus in the fall, don't you think? (See me in November when I am freaking out about exams, and we will revisit this issue, eh?)

What's happening around town?

9/12 -Craving outdoor music on your crisp cool weekend? The River North 'hood is a good bet for you, as they host the 1st annual RiNo Neighbors block party at 31st and Walnut. Looks like a second event will be going on around the same block on Larimer, so you can walk back and forth to check out both! Get times and info here.

9/12 - The little ones can participate in a free Lowes Build and Grow Clinic and make their own drum at locations around town from 10-11 am today. Go here to find a location and get junior all registered.

9/12 - Curious about the artistic process of painters? Denver Plein Air (yes that is spelled right) Arts Festival offers the opportunity to see for yourself. On Saturday a "paint out" will be held on 13th street - check out all the info here.

9/12 - for $5.00 admission, you can go watch the drama unfold as the Art For Ransom event takes place, benefiting Redline and Arts Street, both are not for profits focused on art in the community. This is a unique fundraiser, and your level of participation can be small (re: cheap) or grandiose, but either way it is an exciting idea to get the community involved with the art around our city.

Every Friday in Cap Hill, join Charlie Brown's for Happy Hour to get your free eat on!! During warmer months they actually roast a whole pig each Friday, serving succulent smoked pork to the HH crowd, and as the chill in the air starts to settles, they switch back to old faithful buffalo wings with all the trimmings! Grab a two for one drink (first drink only) and join the crowd every Friday night!

And as always - post your hot tips below so other Dealers don't miss anything!

Happy Weekend!
