TALES FROM THE HOOD – B-cycle at 28th & Larimer

cultivator — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 18:49:45 +0000

Today is a great day for the Larimer Creative District/RiNo/Hood. B-Cyle, who moved in downstairs from us, has installed a bike rental station right here on our block. Now, our agency and our whole neighborhood can rent a bike and cruise around the city, to the grocery store, the liquor store, the baseball stadium, wherever.

What the heck is a B-Cycle? Check it out here (link). It’s patterned after the highly successful Velib in Paris. The simple explanation is that you rent a bike from a B-cycle station (free for 1st half-hour, then $1 per hour or $5 per 25 hour) and the bike is yours for a time period. There are B-Cycle stations like this:

all over the downtown area, so when you’re done riding, you can leave it at any other station. This allows you to get from place to place in a metro area, easier. I’m hoping there is a station at Union Station so that I can ride the bus from Boulder, hop on a bike and drop it off right next to my office!

Hooray for public transportation, progressiveness and biking!

Our pal Steve is preparing to become a Daddy for the first time. Of course we wanted to have a baby shower for him, you know, to show our affection and all. But, how do you celebrate with a fast-food loving, rail-skinny, Daddy-to-be? You shower him with Burger King, Long John Silvers, Chik-fil-a, McDonalds and a side of KFC slaw.

Alter egos are a funny thing. They show themselves at the most unexpected times. Put a suit on, or a pair of long white gloves and presto, change-o, a whole new personality appears. Meet some of the alter egos that recently showed up at Cultivator

WHAT IS AUGUST HUNTING? – Snacks

cultivator — Thu, 07 May 2009 15:13:32 +0000

It’s 3:30 p.m. August is hungry. He’s at the office. He’s got none of his arsenal with him. No bow. No 300 Win Mag Remington, cutom trigger, leopold scope. No 12-gauge auto Browning Gold Trigger. Not even a beebee gun. So, what’s a hungry hunter to do to find game but use his hands and his basic human instincts. He stakes out the kitchen, rifling through the cabinets. He sees oyster crackers, creamy peanut butter, Nutella, a bowl, a spoon. This hunter knows exactly what to do.

Make peanut butter, nutella, oyster cracker stew.
