Okay, comments are back on. There must be something up with your connection...

It seems the last time I was in Denver, I got drunk a lot and easily. That high altitude really caught me by surprise -- three beers felt like six.

LoDo, or Lower Downtown, has some fun bars and restaurants. Have fun!

Courtney

Q: What does the "N" on the University of Nebraska football helmet stand for?

A: Knowledge.

Hrmmm, I just came from there, so here are a few lame suggestions. You could head south on I-25 about 45 miles and check out Colorado Springs And make sure to tour the US Air Force Academy, and head up Pike's Peak, though that Caddy of yours may not corner suffiently to allow safe passage to the top. Of course LODO (Lower Downtown) is fun if you are into that carousing scene, but I'm sure you are no friend of the demon whiskey, so I prolly shouldn't have mentioned that. But if you are a friend of demon beer, then head west a few miles to Golden CO, and check out the Coor's brewery (free tours and beer samples). Finally, if you didn't get enough of them in LA, you could always check out the "People's Republic of Boulder", which is always good for watching California transplants and other lefties in their native habitat. Good luck, and let us know how it goes.

Hey,

I live in Denver, and believe me, Colorado is the unofficial "microbrewery" kingdom of the US (this is a constant argument with California and Washington state). Anyway, I suggest some brews and pool and/or darts at the Wynkoop in LoDO, perhaps a martini at the Rialto, and to pick up trashy women on Ecstacy, try The Church, a dance club that plays techno songs which appear to last approximately 4-5 hours each (or at least seem to). There are plenty of other really cool places to hang, Denver is very underrated in this regard (and I've lived in both South Florida, as well as just outside of NYC). Have fun!!!

Jerry

P.S. A couple of other really good local brews (besides what the Wynkoop serves up) are Left Hand's Sawtooth Ale, any of the darker Breckenridge Pub's darker beers, Oasis' ISB, and Single Track's Copper (if you're looking for something lighter -- wait, your an Aussie, scratch that).

Whatever you do, do not -- I repeat, DO NOT -- drink anything with the word Tommyknocker on it. It will skew your view of Denver beers, and Colorado in general. Just back away slowly without breaking eye contact... and have yourself a Fat Tire instead.

RC,

Yeah, the Air Force is cool, as is Garden of the Gods (right down the street -- incredible natural geologic formations), but I'd skip the brewery unless you've never been on a tour before. And if you're in Boulder, just hit the Oasis Brewery, much better beer. You can also check out Pearl St. and marvel at the wonders of the Aging Hippies(Tm).

You also might want to get a steak in Denver -- many great steakhouses in this part of the country. If you're here for a few days, get yourself a buffalo sirloin -- sounds weird at first, but I'm telling you...

Jerry

You really ought to see the freak show that is the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder. Maybe check out Red Rocks, too. And have you ever heard of "Rocky Mountain Oysters"?

Hey, maybe you'll make it to South Park.

Jerry,

I hereby start a topic, it's about beer and can involve subjective rants, bigotry and xenophobia,
namely: what beer is the worst in the world?
My vote goes to New Zealand's "Tui" and some Polish brews.

I don't think Tim drinks beer.

If you're in Colorado, don't have sex with any of the girls that are working at the hotel (especially if you are a good basketball player)

Skinny Hippo, nah, the worst beer in the world is Sing-ha from Thailand, with all Korean beers (with the exception of O.B.) holding down second place.

Singha and Tui are like angels pissing on your tongue compared to Southwark from Adelaide; a truly vile ale.
A worse one used to exist, however, brewed at a micro at Sanctuary Cove south of Brisbane, called Cane Toad beer, and that's exactly what it tasted like it was made from. Its only saving grace was that it was 7% alcohol, so you could get pissed very quickly on it and forget that it tastes like it had been filtered through an incontinent sumo wrestler's nappy.
(And I think the author of the reviews may well have been "tired and emotional" when he wrote the items; for those who don't know what "t&m" means, read it as "shitfaced").

As you drive south the best thing you can see is the..."Welcome to New Mexico" sign.

I hope you stole some of the Hummel's that Hewitt's minions have been sending.

Can't offer any suggestions for fun in colorado, but somehow I'm not surprised that Pearl st in Boulder is still a freak show. I haven't been there in about 20 years and it was weird then.

Pearl St = Santa Cruz + mountains - ocean

...'imply'?

Are you coming to Houston, Tim? It's warm! High was 84 F (29 C) today.

pearl street isn't THAT bad, unless you guys have a low threshold for weirdness. just a few guys in need of a good flea dip sitting around playing old bob songs. maybe a juggler or two. it's mostly just expensive shops and stuff.

Tim can you try and get a permanent job in America.
Anything that keeps you in harm's way, far from Australia
Has got to be a plus for anyone who isn't you.....

"Gas" money? Tsk. Tsk.

I echo Peter's sentiments, Tim. Stay in America. In fact, there's a house for sale on my street. Bring Tex over, too.

The Pearl St freak show? You mean the Abercrombie and Finch, GAP, and other crap they have there? Or the colorful locals?

I'm way more scared of the GAP.

TO: Tim Blair
RE: Eats

Steaks? You can get great steaks anywhere, but why bother. I'm sure they got cows down-under too.

Down in the warehouse district of south Denver there's a place called Brewery Bar II. Great green chili. We used to laugh our heads off while sweat poured off our brows. Best sopapias I've ever had too...when they're making them. Yeah, it's a dive and it's under the railway (light) and occassionally you see a cop doing the get-your-hands-on-the-hood-of-the-car routine, but the food is worth it.

Not too far north of there is the Buckhorn Exchange/Museum. Great game food. Lots of guns on display. The Fort is great for game too, but it's kinda outta town.

RE: Entertainment

Shotgun Willey's, for late-night. But bring your own cigars. [Note: Best cigars and prices at Edward's on S. Broadway.]

What's most enjoyable about Tim Blair's 3 posts from America is that the glimpse of his trip has actually seemed pretty accurate for what an AMERICAN high school/college kid experiences for a trip around this nation. Debauchery, alcohol, and fun.

I respect my English-speaking relatives, and I'd love to do a road-trip through Australia, but a road trip through America is bizarre and entertaining that no other English-speaking nation can replicate.

I hope Tim has enjoyed our fine nation. I'd love to see and drink ye Aussies under the table one day on your own soil...

Bailz,

Seeing as it was meant as a compliment, I'd lighten the fuck up.:)

Blair:

Love your blog.

I used to live in Denver, still go back there a lot, and have some ideas.

Denver has grown a lot in the last ten years, but you are best advised to avoid most of the new establishments. Stick with the old joints, although there are some places in LoDo that are good.

If you’re looking for non-alcoholic activities:

1. go to the steps of the state capitol and point at the “mile-high” marker. It’s so hokey it’s cool.
2. go to Lookout Mountain – gaze east and wonder.

But enough of that. Here’s the scoop:

1. Campus Lounge (over near Denver University) – great Mexican food, giant fish tanks, and cheap beer.
2. Bluebonnet – down on Broadway Street – rocket fuel Margaritas. Was better before they fixed up the joint.
3. Cherry Cricket – in Cherry Creek – great burgers (it’s sister bar, Duffy’s, in downtown, has a looooong bar. And surly waitresses. Go there for lunch (there’s a crowd) and they will take your plate away and give you your check if you take too long).

4. Go to Mondo Vino -- best wine store in Denver. Talk to Duey the manager; have him take you on a tour of the bars.

Finally – if you have the munchies after a late night of drinking, you must go to the Jerusalem Café. Open till 4 am (used to be) on the weekends. FLINTSTONIAN size portions. Great middle-eastern food.

It's filthy with hippies and peaceniks but the Tattered Cover Bookstore in Cherry Creek is a great place. Dogs allowed, which helps balance out all the 'Coloradans for Peace.'

"We australians sure do love it when americans crack those hilarious jokes about us all being convicts. we find them to be the pinnacle of comedic excellence." -- bailz

Just some schtick I picked up from a Kiwi while attending the US Army's LEDC course in '92. He used to raz the Roos in the class with it. [Note: At least he provided free beer if you dropped by his billet. But then again, he was being groomed to be the Military Liaison for their embassy up the road and would bring back carloads of Steinlager from there.]

Tim:

Bypass Denver... Head south to Silver City NM (about 11 hours, maybe 9 depending on how your drive). It's warm. Great Mexican food. Outrageous tequilla.

Jack

Tim,

You still have a chance to visit some of our best, real wonderland country. Forget Denver. It has been Socal without the climate for 10 years. Gas up and keep going west on I-70. Your checkpoints are Fruita [Munchies], Green River, Hanksville, Torrey, Boulder [the genuine one in Utah], Tropic, [Pioneer Village, ask for Travis, slot canyon man], Zion, and of course Las Vegas. Gas up every chance you get. Imagine you're on horseback with the wild bunch. Drive on.

Sorry about the Pies mate. Maybe next year.

Go to an Avalanche game. And keep your eye on that little black thing - wouldn't want that colliding with your head now.

The Avs aren't playing today, and no way is Pearl St. going to be a freak show when it's this cold out.

Normally, I would say screw Denver and head into the mountains, but conditions are less than ideal today. You could head west on I-70 and stop in at Loveland Ski area: they have exactly one run open. Then hop on the Loveland Pass over to Arapahoe Basin; they also have one run open (but it's intermediate).

I encourage you to try the 'Mexican' food there.. that way if you ever make it down to Texas you can appreciate REAL mexican food, as well as some fabulous Tex-Mex. (which is what the rest of the country thinks mexican food is for some strange reason.)

Interesting Nebraska tidbit:

During football games, the stadium becomes the third largest city in the state.

TO: Tim
RE: I Agree...

...with Amy about trying the Mexican dishes.

The guy who owns Brewery Bar II immigrated from Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Denver. That's why it's the best green chili to be had for money in town.

As for Tex-Mex. It's good too. All food is good. [Note: I think that has something to do with a Army operated 'spa' I went to in '79; the Ranger course. They only fed us once a day and walked our tails off. Lost 40 pounds in two months. Now, if I can get my hands on it, I'll eat it....after I choke and skin it.]

But I prefer REAL Mexican.

Enjoy your stay. And I do recommend going through Glenwood Canyon and seeing Southeastern Utah. If you can, go along northern Arizona to see Monument Valley, sight of numerous John Wayne pics in the 40s; Rio Grande, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, etc. Great scenary is to be had by all. And bravo for driving instead of flying. That's the only way to see a country.

Wear a Raiders cap and jacket as much as possible.

Tim you have to check out El Chapultapec in LoDo on 20th and Market. Hot Burritos and Cool Jazz. Classic place, and was actually there before all the development in the ballpark neighborhood (i.e. LoDo). Check out all the pictures on the walls of Jazz greats that played in the joint.

Brothers BBQ for good eats.

Go to Streets of London on East Colfax and Franklin to have a Brit ex-pat explain to you how Manchester United is like the New York Yankees.

Which reminds me...go to Pints! Over 150 + types of Scotch. Excellent place. Near the Public library and City and County Building.

And unless you want to check out the USAFA stay the hell out of Colorado Springs...that place is terrible.

"But they are."

What a choice example of smug low life is "the impersonator", Mr Cut and Paste. I vilify you will all the hate you yourself deliver.

The draft is back on over there, why don;t you put your lily white pampered private school ass where your gaping hole of a mouth is and sign up for a real tour of duty. Pretend you're a real journalist for five minutes and go and see how your boys are coping in the quagmire first hand, instead skulking at truck stops in the middle of the bible belt slumming for friends.

Or why not catch a plane to Guantanamo and check out how the two Aussies are going being held without trial or legal recourse, or even charges.

You are one ugly self-satisfied creep. May your ever-dimming wit land you in a redneck jail on your down-and-tedious "listening tour".

Listen up, bloghead, you've committed hubris once too often, you've pushed your fascist luck, your days of smugness are numbered. You are as transparent as glass, and your continuing crisis of confidence is sham of a farce of two travesties of a mockery, to quote a (once) great American.

And fuck me you must be a bore at dinner parties.

Miranda Divide? hmmmm...

Miranda, you forget that the two Australians in Guantanamo are already guilty. How you ask? I don't know... it's the vibe. Tim said so. Anyway, what's the rule of law when you have most powerful motivator - irrational fear?

Anyway - given that they are already guilty, there is no need to charge them. Guilty people don't need to be charged. That's only for innocent people.

There used to be a Mexican restaurant in Denver, a huge all-you-can-eat place with a waterfall inside it. You had a little flag and when you wanted more food, you ran the little flag up the flag pole and eventually the waitress came over and took your order. It was very elaborate, two stories at least, split-level. Casa Bonita, does that sound right?

Ah, of course it does. I love Google. (I don't know how the food is; it's been twenty years since I was there. The fact that they seem to have one dinner on their menu does not bode well.)

Not bad, Miranda. You're almost as witty as Tim.

Talking of convict ancestors, wasn't the reason Australia was founded, was because after the American colonies revolted, the British had to find a new country to dump their prisoners in? That's why we can truly call the Yanks our brothers.

I see that Miranda has had that psychotic breakdown at last.

I think Miranda pulled a muscle. If one classifies her brain as such.

A question--Is Margo Kingston Miranda Divide's secret (sic) identity?

Regardless, given her posts, Miranda's the Queen of Putting Turd in Punch Bowl, yes?

David's right. Miranda's gotta be Margo: the inimitable prose style, the inept Angry Keyboarding, the heaps of clumsy vitriol...

Wipe the froth off your lips and come clean, Marganda!

Reg,

I concur.

Don't know what I like better--inept angry keyboarding or heaps of clumsy vitriol. It's a tossup.

But oh so true.

Miranda's having a bad period this month - worse than usual. Hence all the bile and venom, blood and pus pouring forth.

Wouldn't want to be her partner though - if she has one. I pity the poor bitch.

Margo doesn't do that sort of invective. I can hardly imagine her saying 'fuck me you must be a bore at dinner parties'.

Who does 'dinner parties' anyway? What about BBQ's? Pissups? Blogbashes?

Yes -- we all know that Tim does lunch.

Internet "tough talk" is always so amusing...Next, Miranda will be type-bellowing threats like, "I'll kick your ass, just name the place, anytime!" You know, the kind of threats you'll hear when a person knows his buddies won't let anything happen, or the target's on the other side of a fence, or they're directed at the French...

Anyway, the fury evidenced in the post may simply be due to the ongoing evidence that the far far far far far far left's positions are being ignored, if not laughed at. While Howard Dean is slumming for votes at Bible Belt truck stops (thanks for the line!), the Republicans just keep winning more elections. Must be the Jews! (even in Kentucky and Mississippi). I'm not a Republican, but these spankings of the Democrats always give ya a bit of bounce in your step.

What I wonder is, why keep coming to a website that agitates you so? Seems to me that you have a choice if you find this offensive.

BTW, good call on Brother's BBQ - think I'll go there for lunch on Friday (mmmmmmmm...BBQ).

And as for the worst beer, Take your pick (or not) of Utica Club, Gennessee Cream Ale, Weideman's and/or Piel's.

I dunno. I think there's either two Mirandas, or she's bipolar. I do think, though, that she works in the newspaper industry; look at all the spew she directs at Tim, who simply writes better than she can.

The sad thing is that she genuinely claims she's trying to present a point of view and pursuade people, and then goes off on invective-filled tirade like the shrieking bag lady the police finally tow off.

What if there were two Johns? One who does something (probably telephonically-engineering-connected) with ATT, while the other moonlights as a psychiatrist and career counsellor?

Both must be very well-educated. It's a rare combination.

Tim IS a bore at dinner parties. But he's a scream at lunch.

Hi Tim

Hey, Pod.

There's a lot of Johns out there, many more than two. Afraid this one does not work for AT&T, but I am an engineer, so you get points.

And you're right. I do tend to psychoanalyze people, especially when I suspect they're going around the bend. It is a bad habit, and I'll try to keep from doing it.

>If Miranda became mad at every person who wrote better than him/her (sorry, never saw which gender mentioned in any post),

I'm guessing "she." Anyone using a woman's name should expect to be called "she." I vaguely recall someone who called himself "StarCow" and got all pissy when people assumed he was a woman. Ah, the Internet and weird behavior.

>then we'd likely have read about some sort of spree killing by now, don't you think?

No, no, the Right Wing Press is supressing news of her battle!

This from Margo's webdiary:

Mike Lyvers in Queensland

Margo, I'm very disappointed that you endorse the "peace prize" awarded to PLO propagandist Ashrawi. (Perhaps before I continue I should add that I'M NOT JEWISH as a response to the standard knee-jerk characterization of all who rightly object to this "peace prize" as Jewish or Zionist - of which I'm most definitely neither.)

I've been watching interviews with Ashrawi for decades, as she has frequently appeared on the American Public Broadcasting Service Newshour (shown here weekdays on SBS). She is a classic propagandist who very smoothly avoids answering direct questions from an interviewer, as she did so very smoothly again last night with a fawning Kerry O'Brien.

Ashrawi's record shows that she has consistently been an advocate of war, not peace. To award her a "peace prize" is as absurd as awarding the same prize to Ariel Sharon.

Margo, you've disappointed me greatly. (I might even switch sides and start following Tim Blair's website because of this!)

I [Margo] replied: It's a divisive one, this one, isn't it? Yes, I do endorse the prize, but I haven't written about it. All I've done is publish the views of two Jews who support the prize. I can't see anything wrong with that. Hope you enjoy Tim.

Mike replied:

With all due respect, Margo, I think you and many other well-meaning supporters of Ashrawi have been duped by a superficially charming, smooth-talking psychopath. She's an absolutely classic case of that.

When you decide you've had enough of freezing your tail off, you simply must come down to sunny Arizona. Highs in the mid to low 70s, lows in the low 60s or (maybe) high 50s. BTW, that will be the forecast for probably the next three to four months. :)
