The Cherry Creek Arts Festival

The Cherry Creek Arts Festival is running from July 5th to July 8th, right across from the Cherry Creek Mall. http://www.cherryarts.org/users/index.asp

Yesterday, I had my first chance at checking out the festival - and I enjoyed it throughly. They had 5 whole blocks dedicated to the festival. The artists were great and they had some great food vendors too.

And through out the day they have concerts (3 stages for performing artists - the main one is right across Saks in the mall and called the Janus main stage). Yesterday's main performers were the Triple Nickels a country music band - and they were quite good. Here is the link to the stage schedule: http://www.cherryarts.org/users/stageschedules.asp

Its free entry - so you should definetly go check it out.

America's got talent - Paki guy dancing to Indian song!

Last night I saw Kashif dancing to Hritik Roshan's Kaho na pyar hai song on American's got talent.

Boy was he bad! - But the crowd loved him - and he managed to pass on to the next stage of the competition! (I was definetly surprised!)

But hats off to his courage! He got on the stage - and just did his thing! - I cant wait to see what he is going to do in the stage of the competition.

What is that illuminated cross on the mountains west of Denver?

Its been almost 2 months since I have been in Denver and each week in the evenings you can see a faint cross on the mountains west of Denver. And ever since I have been wondering what it is and where it is?



The cross is on Mount Lindo in Morrison county. Its part of the Mount Lindo Cemetery. The cross has an interesting history: it was built by a husband as a sign to his wife of the location where he wished to be buried.

It is also the largest electrically lite cross in America.

It is somewhere close to this map location: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=EN&q=19423+N+Turkey+Creek+Rd,+Morrison,+CO&sll=39.59256,-105.220442&sspn=0.021727,0.039911&ie=UTF8&ll=39.593387,-105.22572&spn=0.021727,0.039911&t=h&z=15&om=1

Indian restaurants and grocery stores in Denver

After having moved to Denver, one of the first things I started doing was to start scouting out Indian grocery stores and restaurants. After much searching and combining information from multiple sites - this is what I created - a custom map on GoogleMaps. (LINK)

If you click on the icon, you will get some additional information about the place (phone number, website, etc., if they were available). I have also reviewed the Indian restaurants that I have visited and when I get some time, I will copy that info into this blog.


If you have any places to add send me a message.

Moved to Denver!

In April of this year - we moved down from Missoula to Denver.



After almost a year of searching for a job in Missoula, Preeti was running out of patience and so from january the two of us have been wrestling with which city to move to. After spending six years in Missoula, we have grown to love the mountains and that was one of the underlying factors that drove our search for a new city - that we should be able to see the mountains!



And Denver seemed to fit the bill, it was a lot bigger (25th largest city in the US), so Preeti should be able to find a job here. I can see the mountains from house and most of the time when I am out and about in the city. And it snows in winter! And there is quite a bit of outdoorsy stuff to do (although not as close as it was in Missoula).



So we have now become from Missoulians to Denverites(?? is that what one calls someone who lives in Denver), but we still remain in the Rocky Mountains - hence the name "Rocky Mountain Natives".



My camera has gone kaput! So once I pickup a new one - I will post pics of the views from our verandah/lanai!
