Weekender

Ok ok, so I have technically only been back at work for two days, but a girl can still get excited about the weekend, right?
(Right.)

We are supposed to have some fab sunny weather Friday and Saturday, which might mean a jaunt in Wash Park for Potter the Pampered Pooch and the best doggie-mommy evah (um, that's me, BTW,) and I think the fabulous Hub is taking me out for dinner one of these nights, but what else is there to do around town this weekend?

2/26 - Tonight from 6:30 - 9pm at Twist and Shout on Colfax, Denver's own Matt Morris is going to play selections and sign copies of his new album before he heads off on his national tour. Twist and Shout is considering doing a "Live at Twist and Shout" album, so your "woo hoo" in the background could be recorded for music scene posterity. Check out Twist and Shout's website for the info.
