Daniel Craig, the latest incarnation of 007, can not drive a manual stickshift – so Bond's classic Aston Martin DB5 had to be converted into an automatic.

long time, no blog

Sorry. But I've been just incredibly busy the last few months. It's terrible, I know. But Kristen is pregnant, we moved apartments in the city, and work has been insano.

Right now I'm in Denver. Miserable.

It's not Denver, don't get me wrong. But you see, normally when we travel in the ad world, it's pretty nice. You get to ride first class I'd say 25% of the time, and you stay in some pretty nice swank hotels. And I travel a lot. Especially lately. That being the case, it becomes not so jetset after awhile. You get to your hotel and you just want to check in fast, and get up to your nice room.

I flew into SF last night at 1am. Went into work early today, and flew to Denver this evening. Getting here at 1am. And I'm miserable because some jerky-nut decided to make this random boutique hotel in downtown Denver into a @#$% nightclub on Friday & Saturday nights.

My room is literally humping & thumping right now. I feel like I'm back in my college dorm. 

When I walked into the lobby, I had to show a douche bag bouncer my luggage so that he would believe I was staying here. I mean, that's what jerky-nut did... he basically took this little hotel that could be kind of cool (with some work + taste) and turned the entire lobby area into a dance floor. I had to literally bump and shove my way through the dancing denver nightlife to get to the reception desk. I'm still just a little stunned at how stupendously stupid this person is. He needs to have "square peg in round hole" tattooed on his face because instead of trying to turn his fledgling hotel into a tasteful, on point, unique place for the creative community to stay in Denver, he's basically done the opposite, turning off his actual paying, repeat clientele force fitting one money-making endeavor into another to create a terribly awkward combination – that ultimately caters to a population who will never stay here, ever.

Don't stay at the Jet Hotel in Denver.

I can't believe I made this my first post back. Sorry, I hate complaino bloggers. I promise I won't do this much.
