Writing a pair of recreational drug-related stories for @denverpost.com and wondering if anyone wants to talk on the record?
1. The comeback of nitrous oxide/whippets.
2. Being "Colorado sober" (yes-weed and shrooms, but no-alcohol). If you're up for it, email me at [email protected]!

Seeing legit-looking LinkedIn posts describing layoffs at #VinylMePlease, which is in the midst of lawsuits against its former leaders. Very sad. Reached out to all involved and will update ASAP (thank you @anniezaleski.bsky.social)

Thanks #Radio1190 staff for welcoming into their (still) glorious studio in Boulder. Their signal expansion into Denver is great news for anyone who likes their music fearless, weird, and fun.
It's no exaggeration to say they're helping restore my faith in humanity. @denverpost.com story soon.

Breaking music news: #Phish is returning to Boulder for the first time since 1993 with a trio of massive shows at #FolsomField. Goodbye (for now, at least) to their Labor Day run at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City.

Goddess @kathleenstjohn.bsky.social found this mug on Sat. and I’ve decided to ping all my DS9ers while simultaneously admiring some #DS9 vintage toy finds because I am that person and fully embrace it
