A Snappy Post Title

So another couple of interesting days to report to anyone bored enough to listen (sorry still no pictures; I can only save my DV still images to one format and blogspot doesn't seem to agree with it)-

Got a weird haircut the other day, weird for 4 reasons

1. Free
2. By a celebrity stylist
3. On live TV
4. The barber: The Pink Power Ranger!

And the haircut still sucked; I think I'm just hopeless.

Then yesterday I shot a sailboat race, and got to ride along on a little zippy motorboat driven by a scraggletoothed maniac who imbibed a heroic ammount of alchohal, nicotine, and THC during the short time we circled around the lake.

Afterwards, it was off to a Plum-paid lunch at "Rasta Pasta", where, thinking I was a tough guy, I ordered a dish with two cartoon chili peppers next to it on the menu. I have since discovered that I most certainly am not a tough guy.

Then the beer was flowing at the Brekenridge Beer festival...

Oh god. Marty is talking to me again.

...You're the best...arouuuund!

Anyway, the beer festival was cool; definelty makes for some good people watching. Even though there's too much country music here, drunk guys in cowboy hats + country cover of "Crazy Train" = hilarity.

So I'm planning on winning Segment of the Week with the piece I did on light pollution, it's been really well recieved, and next week I'm in charge of Bear Safety.

The most exciting thing, however, just developed today. Our general manager, Shani, left the company for two weeks to visit her husband in Spain (crossing paths with Emily?). In place of her, Scott Stein, one of the head honchos from New York, came to check up on us and Aspen. I get a chance to sit down with Scott one on one and have him review one of my segments. After discussing it, he asked me "What year in college are you?" I told him he said "When you're done...come back." Handed me his card, and walked out the door.

Sweet!

So my mom saw Justin's thing on the website, and got jealous or something, because she e-mailed Conn to get them to do a story on Plum. Just warning you that if one does show up, it was all scare tactics by one momma Beebe rather than anything legit.

Happy Birthday to all the lovely ladies, praticularaly my GFF Kim. See you all sooner than you'd think!
