Crawfish at The Yabby Hut, Lakewood, Colorado 031512

Pardon the diversion…I couldn’t resist a quick snap and a personal post tonight!

That’s 3 lbs of crawfish, spread on a table and steaming hot! We were thrilled to find this place today, and couldn’t believe we hadn’t even known that a cheap and very tasty crawfish shack had been open a few minutes from us for two years!

Crawfish, a root beer, a basket of calamari, a fried banana for desert and a bib were all it took tonight to make for one awesome dinner!

Coffee Cupping at Noa Noa Coffee in Golden, Colorado 033112

This was a lot of fun. Rick Myers and the owner of Noa Noa set up this cupping, and invited the roaster to come in and educate the masses a bit about four different coffees he specializes in, and some different techniques and equipment.

As a HUGE espresso fan, it was so interesting to find some brewed roasts I actually like, and it was fascinating to taste everything that was going on with the Rwanda. To so clearly taste cherries in the Fall was just amazing.

I’ll update this text when I get some details about the roaster and his work.

Moreland and Arbuckle at the Toad Tavern, Littleton, Colorado, 033012

Shooting this show worked out so perfectly! I love Moreland and Arbuckle!

I thought that I would email the band, and get things approved ahead of time to photograph the set. Well, that didn’t work out quick enough on my end, and our friends Sean and Amy were definitely going, so I thought we would just buy tickets at an outlet. Well, the ticket outlet couldn’t even find the show in their system, so I thought to call Nick Sullivan, whose band American Relay had played several times with Moreland and Arbuckle a few years ago. Lo, and behold, Nick says he was recording Moreland and Arbuckle all day in his studio, Silo Sound, and we could be his +2 if we gave him a ride to the show! Talk about synchronicity!

So cool. Such a great show, even with an less energetic crowd, and I am really happy with the shots. In fact, right before processing them, I read Todd Owyoung’s article on doing your best to fix the white balance with poorly lit shows, and I think it really paid off.

Thanks to Nick for making this happen, thanks to Moreland and Arbuckle for such a great set, and thanks to the Toad Tavern for giving me just enough light to work with!
