Recommendations - September 2008: Colorado Edition

New York, NY

I'm back at sea level. Back where people have regional accents. Though, I'm not sure what time zone I'm supposed to be in. To finish these recommendations and hopefully move on to something more productive, I give you the Colorado edition.

• Mount Evans Scenic Byway - The highest paved road in North America was no match for my skilled driving and my "sport" edition rental car.
  
• Aji Restaurant - Great Latin American cuisine.
• Coors Brewery Tour - They give you free beer! For free! And lots of it!
• Mount Sanitas - A fun and quick hike just outside Boulder.
• Loveland Pass - Because you'll want to spit on both sides of the Continental Divide.
• Sunrise Amphitheater - I've been to a lot of weddings this summer. A lot. And I'm almost done. This venue was one of the most amazing I've ever seen, and worth the trip up Flagstaff Road even if you aren't watching your friends get hitched.

And just because there's room, here are some more non-Colorado recommendations.

• The Fall - Seriously, what's it going to take to get you to watch this movie? It's the best movie of the year and it comes out on DVD and Blu-Ray tomorrow. You have no excuses.
• Tropic Thunder - Watch it purely because it made me laugh out loud.
• Telenav - This GPS service was intrinsic in helping me navigate the small mountain roads of the Rockies.
• When You Are Engulfed in Flames - There's nothing better to read on multiple plane trips than David Sedaris. (Thanks Ariel)
