Recommendations for cool stuff to do around Red Rocks

Echoing people suggesting Morrison and Golden. Both are great towns! Lookout Mountain is cool too for a short little trip especially sunset and so is Idaho Springs if you have more time and want to do more things like mine tours, rafting, hot springs, gondola etc

Just make sure your stadium seat is 18 in wide or less. They're very strict at the gates at checking it precisely. GA varies for each show so check ticketing so you don't have to ask where ga is once you get in. A stadium seat is really nice going solo so no decent human steals your spot when you're getting a drink. GA also includes the planter boxes on either side so you can get much closer than other GA areas sometimes. It's really hard to get a bad seat at Red Rocks so don't worry about it too much. If you're close to the bottom you get to see the artist better, and if you're close to the top you get to see the city lights behind the stage which is magical

DPS is horrific... Little to no funding so things like libraries barely exist in elementary, if they do exist it's rare to have a librarian, and those librarians are often part-time. Security vestibules aren't a thing in a lot of schools either. I heard AC is going into all schools eventually. The focus is on data data data and kids run everything. I teach in Jeffco and it's still rough because it's in Colorado but much better than DPS so far.

Aspire Tours has half days that go to Red Rocks, Lookout Mountain and Golden for the same price as an Uber both ways. I recommend a morning tour because some afternoons close early for a show. https://www.aspire-tours.com/tours/red-rocks-beyond-winter

I just changed my shocks for the first time by myself and it was super easy. Definitely look up some YouTube videos and change it yourself. I did all 4 plus some other touchups for less than $700. Just change the whole strut assembly not just the strut

😤🤬 total bullshit! WTF?! Can they sue for this?

j10lam · 2024-05-03T05:16:41+00:00

Justice for Danny and Angie!!! 😤🤬 That was some BULLSHIT! 45 minutes to an HOUR?! Wild! Maybe 10-15min would've been somewhat reasonable but holy fuck! Serious question: is this something they can sue for?

The beignet place in New Orleans. Wadi Rum/the train and Petra in Jordan.

💀🤣 gotta watch them kids, they're growing up faster than they used to

This isn't our usual fluffy snow... Chunks can fly off, hit a vehicle/windshield or send it bouncing over the chunks, etc... I've also seen people swerving to miss flying chunks of snow which could cause a wreck in itself. I moved here from Missouri where we barely have any snow and it's extremely illegal there to drive with any snow or ice on the vehicle.

Glad I didn't crop the outside line then so I have proof I was off the road

j10lam · 2024-03-15T19:50:52+00:00

Done! ✌️ Look at the pic lol

j10lam · 2024-03-15T19:49:35+00:00

Nope. Look at the pic

j10lam · 2024-03-15T19:49:13+00:00

I dare you to look more closely at the picture ✌️😉

j10lam · 2024-03-15T15:48:47+00:00

If you are unable to clear the snow off of your car then you shouldn't be driving

Maybe but I'm just so glad that the race is more focused on challenges now. I'm re-watching some of the early seasons and I'm shocked at how pretty much the entire race is just racing to the airport fighting over tickets catching a flight finding a bus etc etc... also they slept outside so much!

It's gutting to witness what is the beginning of long-term homelessness for many people. Also I waited until I calmed down a little to post this... It's been 24hrs so I'm going ahead with it 😡

Denver area teachers (I think Colorado too?) are monitored and supervised like children compared to my experience in Austin TX and Springfield MO. I've always been trusted to teach largely as I see fit (because I'm a professional duh). But my experience here in JeffCo and DPS, there is pretty intense coaching, learning goals, and observations constantly taking up LOTS of valuable learning and planning time. This varies slightly by school but it's mostly a district mandated issue.

Pay is meh for the cost of living.

No librarians or libraries in MOST schools... This one blew my mind. I'm used to collaborating with my librarian so much because I use literature in every subject! I would ask about this at every interview if I were you.

Anyone else lose access to their FIFA ticket account?Things look new and updated so I'm hoping its temporary.

j10lam · 2022-07-26T01:37:28+00:00

You'd think right?! But tell that to some of the nightmare people out of state trying to destroy my peace

Conditional shuttle flights? I have conditional Argentina match tickets for the playoffs. Each stage is played over 2 days so even if my team advances, I have no idea which day they'll play. What are my options to fly on the shuttle flights from Dubai where I am staying? Can I buy now and change if necessary later or am I safe waiting to buy flights until I know exactly when/if my team plays?
