You're kidding....right?

So, I got two new pick up lines from the guy I got the one from last week.



Last week:



"Are you representing McDonalds? Because, I'm Lovin' It!"



Today:



"Too bad you're not a bee because Honey I would love to take you to my hive"

"You two ladies are so hot that you need to separate because that's too much attractiveness in once place"

Larimer Chalk Art Festival

I must say, I love Denver! For two weekends in a row I have been able to hop on a light rail downtown and head to several free festivals. Last weekend I went to their Art Festival and a free concert containing many bands - including Five For Fighting. And let me tell you - the people watching opportunities are in abundance!





Last weekend I went with JB and a couple of new friends (including my Bus Buddy - I love my bus!) I went to the Larimer Chalk Art Festival. Over 200 chalk artists filled a two block radius with their beautiful art. I didn't know that simple chalk could make things that were so amazing.






One thing JB and I have found is that no matter where you live fun/cheap/free things can be found. This Chalk Art Festival was free! So were all of the other festivals we've attended. Being amused and going on dates doesn't have to cost anything! You just need to know where to look and JB is the best at finding things.





I hope you enjoy the art as much as I did.

Welcome to the 16th Street Mall

Like thousands of people every day, I commute to work via a bus. Every morning I hop on my Express Bus and take it to a station in downtown Denver. The I hope on a free Shuttle that goes down The 16th Street Mall. The 16th Street Mall is a community of it's own. With 17 Starbucks in a 2 mile strip, shopping areas, food galore, street musicians, and many more things - I'm sure you can see how this place is a petri dish for amusement. It seems like I send a daily text to my husband about the things I see. From someone that looks just like Steve The Pirate from Dodge Ball to a man excusing himself to tell me he thinks I'm pretty - I see it all. A man in a three piece Armani suit can be walking right next to someone who sleeps on the Mall every night.

Everyday Sightings on the Mall:

- People playing their daily game of Chess in the middle of the street.

- McDonald's that blasts classical music that can be heard for several blocks. (I'm told it's to keep homeless people from camping out there)

- Works of art in the middle of the street - including a few buffalos.

- Mobile food vendors selling anything from hot dogs, lattes, BBQ, and Ostrich meat.

- Street Musicians (I've seen jazz flute, banjo, trumpet, sax, accordion, and more)

- Pianos on several blocks ready for any passerby to play.

- Green Peace people with a new campaign every week.

Unusual Sightings on the Mall:

- A group of teenagers with 8'' Hair Spikes that had to spread out for fear of impaling each other.

- Bikini clad woman with a man in a towel standing out in the snow handing out pamphlets.

- Man on stilts with long gold pants and a rainbow jacket holding a sign telling me he can tell me what to wear.

I love Denver. I love the 16th Street Mall! Always something fun to see!
