This weekend was CRAZY!
The 1st Annual Denver Zombie Crawl was an amazing success. A huge zombie made its way down 16th street mall. Busses were surrounded, restaurant windows were clawed at, blood was spread everywhere. We slowly added zombies along the route including two surprise zombies from San Francisco. Jordan and Leslie flew in for the weekend. How fuckin cool is that?! Best present ever! It was so great seeing them. Christy and I decided that they should move here. We took a roadtrip to Boulder and it seemed like the four of us hang out all the time. Sneak out here more guys! I hope their bosses don't read this ;)

Sunday we had a great bday dinner where 21 of my closest friends plus my dad chopsticked tables full of sushi. YUM.

I got a call from an interesting number today, at first I thought it was going to be another one of those annoying automated political calls. I initially hung up the phone...but after one more ring picked it up. Instead of a machine, the person on the other end said "Is this Danny? My name is Steve Wozniak, have you heard of me?" OF COURSE! He called to wish me a happy bday and we chatted a bit about Macs, college, San Francisco...ya, I was speechless. He is the nicest guy ever. And my girlfriend is absolutely amazing for setting the whole thing up.

See, crazy weekend :)

Denver Art Museum

The new Frederick C. Hamilton expansion of the Denver Art Museum opened last week and to celebrate they opened their doors to the public for 36 straight hours. Christy, Austin and I decided we would go at 2:00am Saturday night. I didn't really know what kind of turn out to expect but the number of people pouring in all night really blew my mind. The building is absolutely amazing and if you've heard others describe it as something words can't explain, they are correct. This is something you have to see in person. I've lived in Denver my whole life and this was the first time I really felt Denver has something that is truly "world-class". This is an amazing building with an amazing collection. Seeing such an amazing contemporary collection in my own city really makes me excited. With the coming LAB at belmar and Denver Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver really has an opportunity to be an art center.

We left the museum at about 5:30am and there were still thousands of people wandering around. I can't wait to go back!
