Shug and I had so much fun on our little road trip! It was really nice to just spend time with each other, play dumb driving games, eat greasy food, and sleep in;)! I've made a little must-see list for those of you who are willing to make the hop-skip-jump over there...It's only a 6 hour drive from Salt Lake City!
- Pearl Street is the bomb. Anything you need, they got.
- Hapa Sushi Bar is the place for sampling all sorts of delicious and delicate sakes. Being Gluten-Free means I don't get to imbibe beer, so sake is a nice alternative. If firewater ain't your thing, Hapa also has the most amazing broiled sushi roll called the "Orgasm." Annnnd it IS that good.
- The vintage shops are really moderately priced! They're no D.I., but what is these days? The inventory is pretty awesome, as well!
- Whatever you do, see a music show ANYwhere in town. The experience is so antagonistic to Utah show experiences! People are TOTALLY aware of your personal space. Read: Not one of my BOOBs was touched during the entire Animal Collective show. Average Utah boob encounter per show: Left gal - 3.7. Right gal - 5.2. Average Boulder boob encounter per show (Shug not included;)): Left gal - 0.0 Right gal - 0.0 No lie.
- Having a bad latte is an impossibility in Boulder. I think it's due to the fact that Boulder has the highest PhD per capita in the U.S. I KNOW not all of them are teaching in town, but, my, do they make a mean latte! If caffeine isn't your morning cup, do yourself a favor an get a gourmet hot chocolate or steamer...You won't be sorry!
- Stay at the University Inn. It is centrally located so you can walk almost anywhere there is something to do. This is a bonus since parking is kind of a nightmare and is pretty pricey. If you are in town to see a show, show the front desk your tickets when you are checking in and you may be able to get a discount!
- Check out the Tea House next to the Boulder Museum of Modern Art (and check out the museum while you're at it!)...It's so beautiful and intricate, inside and out! (That's the tea house behind me!)
- If you run into the band that you traveled 6 hours to see, don't just giggle like an intoxicated school girl on helium. They are most likely human beings that also speak human, not squeaky-groupie-wannabe-speak.

Mario travels to the Boulder Bowl Galaxy for the first time ever. He discovers a new transformation suit; it is a rock-like, stone-like suit. Mario is able to roll around into a boulder and can bust through rocks, walls, fences, enemies, and bosses. For the most part, Mario gets to practice using this new transformation suit in the beginning of the level. So gain control for it on the first few planetoids. The boulder will randomly crumble and Mario stops rolling after some time. Another shake will get Mario rolling again. FYI, later on, when suiting up with the boulder in future snowy or icy levels, Mario's boulder turns white. Anyway that is a different story for another day. In Rock and Rollodillo, Mario ultimately faces a boss who just like Mario's suit, is made of rock and rolls around. He is an armadillo boss with a tough outer shell for protection. Rollodillo is a pun; it's puny, lol. Anymore of a pun, you would have to play Aerosmith or Stealers Wheels during this playthrough, for actual rock and roll music, lol.
Mario must hit the derrière of of the boss in rock form. Once Mario rolls into the derrière of the boss, it counts as a hit. Rockodillo's movements have somewhat of an aspect of randomity and spontaneity. Hit Rockodillo's derrière three times in the form of a rock and earn a power star. Each hit is more challenging to achieve than the previous hit. For the third time, it is best to get to Rockodillo's derrière after he crumbles his rock form, and transform into rock and slay his huge derrière. Keep trying until you get him, hopefully you get the double life mushroom beforehand from the hungry Luma. If you lose a life bit, just grab a coin, there are plenty on the cage-like planetoid. Food for thought, the cage-like planetoid has really reminded me of steel-caged grudge matches, although you're on the exterior of the cage. It does resemble the track of Wario's Colosseum from Mario Kart Double Dash; that's what I mentioned in the two-parter voice-over. As you play this game for yourself, I hope you recognize/notice all sorts of allusions to other past Nintendo Games; I will comment on that whenever I catch it at first instance, either in the voice-over session, or this description, or both.
This is part 2 of 2 of a two-parter video. This video focuses on the boss. The prior video focuses on getting to the boss. Video [29] is prior to this video. Please watch video [29] before this one.
This is a live narration, which is the only type of narration I do. There will be a lot more videos where this came from. Hope you Enjoy! Let's Play!

apparently 10,000+ people showed up this year, good times
Rocky Mountain News -
It was a warmer-than-average, sunny day in Boulder on Sunday.
And around 4:20 p.m. on the University of Colorado campus, the sky grew unusually hazy.
Cheers erupted along with a heavy cloud of smoke as an estimated 10,000 people - mostly CU students joined by friends from out of town and some local residents - lit up to celebrate at an annual pot-smoking rally.
Some said they were there to advocate for the legalization of marijuana. Others - including some who came just to watch - said it was all for fun.
"It's like, why do people drink beer on St. Patrick's Day?" said a 22-year-old "super senior" who didn't want to give his name. "It's a holiday. Like the Fourth of July."
The number 420 is slang for marijuana. Across the country each year, pro-pot rallies are held on April 20 or 4/20.
Though there were events all day long on the CU campus, from an art display to live bands, the students chose 4:20 p.m. for the massive smoke-up at Norlin Quadrangle.
A few guys played drums. Some girls danced. Beach balls and Frisbees flew through the air.
CU police monitored the gathering, with 15 campus officers and six Boulder County sheriff's deputies stationed around the perimeter and directing traffic.
According to a news release, the focus was to "maintain a safe environment and discourage potentially hazardous activities."
No citations were issued and there were no arrests, although there were four medical incidents and two people were transported to local hospitals, the release stated. One person was treated for a seizure, the other for dehydration.
Most of the crowd left by 5:15 p.m., police said.
In 2005, when the event was held at Farrand Field, CU officials turned sprinklers on the crowd. In 2006, campus officials took pictures of attendees - then posted them online and offered a $50 reward for anyone who could identify anyone in them.
Sunday's event was organized in part by the CU chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, or NORML.
Alex Douglas, a CU sophomore who handles public relations for the NORML chapter, said the group tried to get the message out that people didn't have to smoke pot to attend the rally.
"420 isn't about smoking," he said. "420 is about activism."
Douglas said CU administrators required the group to pay more than $600 to hire seven security guards.
NORML was trying to cover the expense by giving people a chance at a $5 drawing.
Each entrant got to guess the number of jelly beans in a jar. The 20 people closest to the correct number won a prize, ranging from a NORML T-shirt to a plastic marijuana leaf necklace or a pipe, Douglas said.
At Norlin Quad, some were displaying an entrepreneurial spirit, selling $15 T-shirts commemorating the event, lighters and buttons that read "Get trippy, Boulder Colorado" and "Got Dose?"
Douglas said his group wants to get across the message that marijuana isn't dangerous and should be decriminalized.
