Bryan Blathers: My (Brief) Interactions With PRINCE

BKCheadshot2I’m not one to get too sappy over the passing of celebrities. I even cringe, when I see people crying on TV over some actor or musician. We don’t know these people, so how can you be upset? Yesterday changed all of that for me. I’m simply heartbroken at the passing of PRINCE. I never thought I’d see the day. Mainly because he seemed of another world — mysterious and immortal.

My first experience with his music was when my older brother, on break from the Navy, brought home a cassette of “1999” for my middle brother. I commandeered it and fell in love with it. Next, that same middle brother took me to see “Purple Rain” (just a few months later) at the Villa Italia twin theater in Lakewood. In those days, the rules were much more lax because it was R-rated and we still got in, even though I was only 13 and my brother was 17. Much like every teen, I played “Purple Rain” a thousand times that summer — never skipping a track. (I still get emotional every time I hear “The Beautiful Ones” and the title track.)

Arby’s has the meats…and savings! Arby’s is known for its roast beef sandwiches and curly fries, along with lots of other meaty sandwiches and sides.

Dear King Soopers, Why Do You Hate Coupon Users?

Dear King Soopers, Why do you treat customers using paper coupons like criminals? I have been a loyal customer for years and shop many of your locations on a daily basis. However, almost every time my friends and I use paper manufacturers’ coupons at checkout, we’re the bad guys.

You know grocery prices have skyrocketed recently and the number of coupons available has plummeted. Discounts are now few and far between for bargain hunters. So, when a paper coupon can save me a few bucks, why do your clerks act as if I am a scam artist out to cheat the store? [Read more…] about Dear King Soopers, Why Do You Hate Coupon Users?

Bryan Blathers: Because of Groupon, I Love Min J Asian Cuisine

BKCheadshot2I never pay full price, when I dine out. Never. (Big surprise, right?) I always have a coupon or promo in hand. That’s why I love Groupon. The vouchers give me an opportunity to experience new restaurants and shops that I would not otherwise try. (Don’t worry, I’m not a “bad cheapskate.” I always tip on the full amount of the bill before the discount and so should you. I’ve heard horror stories from wait staff of customers leaving a tip on the balance — sometimes just a buck or less.) To be honest, there are very few places I go back to (after using a voucher) because they’re just too expensive without a deal.

However, after using a Groupon voucher several months ago, I have a new favorite Chinese restaurant — Min J Asian Cuisine at 6585 Greenwood Plaza Blvd. in Greenwood Village. (It’s a relatively new restaurant — just a little more than a year old…I think.) It’s located next to the Greenwood Plaza Stadium 12 movie theater, tucked behind CB & Potts. (Perfect for a dinner-and-a-movie night, especially on Sundays because of the theater’s $6 ticket prices!) This is definitely a case of “don’t judge a book by its cover.” The exterior is a bit shabby, looking a little run down. However, it’s deceiving because the atmosphere inside is rather “fancy” and modern. The outside clearly does not match the inside, night and day.

Spirit Hound Distillers

Spirit Hound Distillers was founded in 2012 by Colorado local Craig Engelhorn who, along with other like-minded associates, decided to start brewing professionally. According to their website, “The Spirit Hound embodies the passion for the new and the bold.” This passion reflects in their unique flavors and their deep love for what they do. That love can even be seen in the physical space itself as the distillery features an all-copper pot still that Engelhorn spent over 500 hours tirelessly crafting.
