Sing Sing. It's right by coors field, under Fado's irish pub. It's more of a drink a lot, sing along, comedy type place. Very casual and fun.

I don't know if they still do it, but they used to do a version of Old McDonald's Dysfunctional Farm that was hilarious.

You are right, when I make it back to Iowa, it costs so much more to get a buzz now.

"On his farm he had a snake with a lisp... E-I-E-I-O. With a Hiths Hiths here..."

I haven't heard them play that one in a few years.

On his farm he had a Pig with Tourette's...with an oink oink here and a SON OF A **** there.

Sides hurt just remembering it.

Personally, I think that's a bad assumption. I like the idaho springs beau jos best, and the one in Evergreen is good, but not the ones in town.

Where are you staying?

Hey CC; I recently moved to Denver and like to golf. It would be fun to join up with some fellow 'Clones. I'll be playing in Brian's scramble later this summer.

I never played Arrowhead; it might be a little out of my budget - I usually play Kennedy & S. Suburban.

I think there is an ISU Alumni Golf outing going on this summer on July 11. Are you going to be playing?

The best pizza I have had since moving here is from Il Vicino. Great gourmet wood oven pizzas. There is one on south Santa Fe and one near downtown on Broadway are the only two locations I have seen.

Favorite Mexican place I have found here is Hacienda Colorado. Their tequila menu (book) is...getting thirsty thinking about it...awesome.

You guys have me way more excited about this trip than I originally was - I didn't know there was so much to do downtown and within a short drive!!
