Reacting to: Renck: Why Broncos owners using PSLs is better than shifting new stadium costs to taxpayers The problem with Troy s column is that it treats the new stadium initiative as if it were a force of nature, and that the owners aren t shoving this down the throats of all Broncos fans.

This is an open letter to my family and friends who buy Broncos tickets from me.

After an amazing Friday night, I stayed on the south side of Downtown Fort Collins, starting with the Pamlico Sound at the Colorado Room. It s always great to check in with them at every FoCoMX, and it was a feat seeing just how many people they could fit on that stage. The Pamlico Sound Senorita...

Angels in Electric Chairs I got to Surfside 7 early to ensure I could see Attack on Venus and caught a good segment of Angels in Electric Chairs, a powerful 3-piece rock band from Denver.

In my travel experience, I have always found that the cloud of departure hangs over your final day, consuming it and leaving you with nothing else. Our flight home wasn’t scheduled to depart, but when you work your way backwards from the airport, car rental return, lunch, commuting back to the airport, checking out, and...

Our last full day in Iceland was a long one, starting with getting up at 5am to drive the 3.75 hours to the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. We had to be there by 9:30 for a scheduled ice cave tour. Once we got there, we hopped on board a jeep which was basically a passenger van...

Yesterday s whirlwind day meant we needed a later start this morning. After sleeping in, we departed for Hella, a town 15 minutes east of where we re staying, to check out a cute wool shop.

After sleeping off our jet lag (to the tune of 10-12 hours!), we were looking for activities that would involve less driving and found a few destinations on a looped road around the Vatnsnes Peninsula that would start and end us at Hvammstangi. Our first stop was the Kolugljúfur Canyon, a hidden gem that was... The post Exploring Iceland: Day 2 Going for a loop appeared first on Romey s Ramblings…
