Back to my kitchen table office
Well, I'm a two weeks removed from returning from my cross-half-country jaunt.
I enjoyed time with some friends. I met some new, very nice folks at some great agencies.
I return to where it started. My kitchen table office.
My hard drive is fixed. Though I lost all my music when it died a week ago.
KEXP is playing on iTunes.
I'm finishing up a freelance project I picked up on the trip.
I'm finally getting back into pocket.
So what has everyone else been up to?
Oh, here are some images from the trip. I'll post more on Flickr when I get a chance. I'll let you know when they're up there. Oh, and pay no attention to the dark black corners. Realized that it was the tape holding in the batteries for my flash. I'm going to take care of that once I pull them into photoshop.
While hiking near Red Rocks in Colorado.
The left "wall" of the Red Rocks amphitheater. Impressive.
The building Neal and I stood outside of for three hours waiting for a phone call to "come on in". DDB, Chicago.
On the road from Colorado Springs to Wichita.
A farm on the the highway between Denver and Colorado Springs. Pikes Peak is way in the distance.

Denver on a Tuesday
It was cloudy this morning. Snow cloudy. I've holed up in a great bookstore called Tattered Cover Book Store. It's near Union Station in the LoDo (lower downtown) section of Denver, I believe. It's three floors of exposed timber, iron braces, and duct work. I can imagine spending an entire snowy Saturday here in the warmth of wooden booths, creaking wood floors, and printed words.
This morning, I met with agency owner Mike Suckle of Sukle Ad & Design. He was a nice guy. Liked a lot of the work. Especially the new PBA work. Have yet to hear bad word about the new campaign. Hope this continues.
I have a meeting at 4pm with a small agency called Amelie. A friend from the Circus recently started working there. But between now and then, I'm trying to line up another meeting, as well as, calling a couple agencies in Austin, TX.
I thought I would work my way back to Memphis by going a completely different direction. South. If I can line something up there, I'll drive through Kansas to Wichita. Spend the night. Then turn right and head further south to Texas. It'll add a day an a half to the trip. But it could be worth it.
Well, it's 1:30 right now. I should probably get a bite to eat.

Denver
Got into Denver last night. The ride here was longer than expected. But beautiful. Snow and ice from a passing storm made the trip about an hour longer. That, plus a lot of construction on the highway 80 and highway 76.
Made a number of stops to take some photos. Got one of an original Pony Express outpost somewhere in Nebraska. Forgot the name of the small town. But it was cool to see that kind of history.
This morning, Lee and I headed to Red Rocks, and then for a hike. Got to see a show at Red Rocks at some time. That has to happen. We hiked close to Red Rocks. I'm not embarrassed to tell you, I was sucking wind. And I'm not blaming it on the altitude. Sure the air is thin. But I'm also lugging around a hefty amount. But it felt good to get out. It was a bit chilly. Roughly 30-degrees. But the views were incredible.
Oh, we also drove through Evergreen, CO, a small town in the foothills of the Rockies. As we went along, I looked out the window at a small park. Chilling there was about 15 elk. Including a 14-point bull! This animal was majestic. The kind any hunter would have loved to have seen in their scope, instead of noshing on some grass next to a kiddie playground.
Again, images of all this will come soon. Once I get them developed after returning to Memphis.
