Uber and Lyft

2015-01-10T01:54:38Z

So, I wanted to talk about Uber and Lyft. I'm a busy mom who can't really manage a regular work schedule, so I was driving for these rideshares to make a little extra money. The flexibility works great for me.

Uber has cut its rates to an extent that it is paying well below minimum wage after one figures in the driver's expenses. I looked at my Uber app, and see several drivers signed on, right now. I assume they haven't done the math or are truly desperate. Here is a pretty good post someone wrote up about it: http://www.reddit.com/r/uberdrivers/comments/2rvpld/why_im_through_with_uber_until_further_notice_and/

So, I'm not going to be driving for Uber any more. I'm going to stick with Lyft for now, as long as they don't do this same thing. If any of you are considering driving for either, I strongly advise against using Uber. And anybody who needs a ride, I'm hoping you will use Lyft instead. It does cost more than Uber, but it's still less than a taxi. If you do use Uber, please, please, PLEASE, bring a little cash and tip your driver. Uber claims tips are included in your fare. Their drivers are making less than minimum wage. Help them out.

Anybody willing to spread this around would be greatly appreciated.

Pegasus statue in Writers Square removed?

2014-12-14T02:04:40Z

I was downtown in Writer's Square tonight and the amazing Pegasus statue on the corner of Larimer and 15th is now gone.

Does anyone know what happened to it?

No Drinking or Courting Death

2014-10-06T15:24:52Z

Hello Denver!,

My friend from Seattle is visiting this next weekend. Back in the day our visits entailed lots of drinking and some danger. Now he's a sober dad and serious business. He drinks kombucha and traded in his mustang for a prius.
What are we going to do? Festivals?

Thanks!

Tickets are $8 in advance, $10 at the door. Please support a fantastic cause!

Car Insurance

2013-04-19T00:27:01Z

Where do you guys get your car insurance and what do you pay? All the insurance websites are lying cunts and I'm sick of their bullshit harassment when I'm just trying to get some decent ideas. So, if anyone is still watching this community, hit me up and let me know :)

Are you ready for some more of this?

Searching for Rental Properties

2012-09-04T13:52:42Z

I've been searching for rentals (house) on Craigslist. Is there any other places that I could look with rentals in the general Denver/surrounding area?

Thanks!

Steampunk/Victorian Clothing?

2012-07-24T00:19:37Z

So, a friend of mine is planning a steampunk/Victorian-era wedding to happen next spring. He just got fitted for a steel-boned waistcoat and needs a pair of black trousers in the Victorian or Frontier style to go with it. He requires something that sits about 2" above his natural waist, so that trousers and waistcoat fit together well. He was in a terrible accident and has had several disfiguring abdominal surgeries, hence the need for a higher-sitting trousers and a specialty waistcoat.

He would like to avoid online purchasing, so that if the fit is not what he needs, he doesn't have to deal with returning it. He's also pretty broke, so cheap is better. Would anyone know of any place that would sell such an item -- thrift stores I can keep an eye on, vintage shops that may carry the item, costume shops that do sales, or specialty clothing shops that could work within a budget? He's tried western stores, and he does know about Flossie's.

I know this is a great resource, so thanks in advance for anyone who might know.

Frontier Airlines & DIA

2012-07-08T05:31:11Z

I will be traveling from LGA in NYC to DIA in Denver on Frontier Airlines. Has anyone recently flew this airline?

How do they do with turbulence? Is the staff friendly? What kind of snacks will we get for free? Will they show a movie?

Now with DIA questions:

Is the airport confusing or are there signs everywhere that will help you get to your destination? How does security do? Is there a seperate line for handicapped people?

HearseCon THIS WEEKEND!

2012-06-20T11:56:50Z

Some of you may be familiar with this event, most of you I am betting are not...

HearseCon is a large, very active gathering of antique ambulances and hearses. There will be food, music, fire, hot chicks, hearses and ambulances as well as a 10 minute show where all the ambulances sound off their lights and sirens, which is VERY loud and impressive to see in person.

The event is free and runs from 5-10PM this Saturday at 13th Floor Haunted House (4120 Brighton Blvd, just South of I-70) feel free to bring as many people as you like or cross post this information!

Pre-paid Cell Phones

2012-05-27T16:25:50Z

Hi gang, I'm looking to purchase a cash only, pre-paid cell phone. The kind one can find in a supermarket or superstore (nothing nefarious, I'm just living a cash only lifestyle these days).

So what I'm asking is, are there any brands you can recommend for good coverage in the greater Denver metro area, or any brands I should avoid for any reason?

Thanks in advance.

IMPORTANT! Never look directly at the sun without proper eye protection.

Ma and Pa! Two "vintage" shar-peis up for adoption at my shelter right now!

2012-05-06T17:29:29Z

Hey everyone!

We have two special dogs (for the low price of one) up for adoption right now at Foothills Animal Shelter. (About 15 minutes outside of Denver on 6th Ave.)

Not only was I the one who checked the dogs in (the owner was being evicted? Or something?), I have a shar-pei mix myself and can attest to how special and wonderful they are. These two are not so great with other dogs so should go to a home that doesn't already have other animals, but they are SUPER with children.

Shar-peis are renowned for their loyalty, excellent potty-training (mine would burst before she had an accident inside), and solemn, dignified quietness unless channeling their roots as ancient Chinese palace guard dogs.

They have been together forever and wub each other a lot, so they have to go together. If you know someone who has room in their heart and home for two magnificent Chinese Shar-Pei mixes, please share this! All adoptions include microchips, vaccinations, a free vet visit and $10 our superb dog training program. (Our trainer specializes in senior dogs and Ma and Pa are two old dogs who'd love to learn some new tricks!)

Thank you!

Construction in the DTC

2012-04-12T16:52:16Z

Does anyone know why the construction on Arapahoe Road from Holly to Krameria is scheduled to take FOUR MONTHS??? It's a stretch of road 0.42 miles long, for Pete's sake! I don't know, it just seems to me you could shut down the entire road, rip it out and put a new down a new one in less time than that.

I know, I know, it's easy to go around, but that seems like an awfully long time for such a small bit of road.

this morning

2012-04-10T23:13:53Z

The TSA had their hands full at Denver International Airport this morning ... when a woman stripped down naked in the middle of the terminal ... and TMZ has a photo of the bizarre incident.

Sources at the scene tell us ... the woman had been smoking a cigarette in a non-smoking area inside Concourse B around 8:45 AM ... with her clothes on ... when airport staffers asked her to put out her butt.

That's when the woman inexplicably took off all of her clothes ... and nonchalantly asked the airport staffer if she could reprint her boarding pass.

Airport security responded to the scene ... but according to FOX31, the woman was not arrested -- instead she was transported to a local hospital for evaluation.

more news, damn!

2012-04-09T05:21:38Z

"An out-of-control sport utility vehicle Sunday morning killed a jogger, ripped across the lawn of church, smashed through a fence and into a Denver house pinning the resident against the refrigerator in the kitchen."

fires in the mountains

2012-04-06T22:01:35Z

I haven't caught the news recently but last night I saw something about Hickenlooper and... Please, can someone clarify this for me?

so there were controlled fires in places to help prevent future fires, and the winds carried the fires out of control, 911 reverse-called residents but not everyone was notified, and an elderly couple died when their home caught fire--- is this what happened? :-(

driving tickets

2012-03-20T02:14:00Z

Poll: has anyone here been pulled over lately and let go with a warning? It seems like everyone I know has been pulled over for very minor reasons and then given the highest point ticket possible for everything the cop could find. Anyone else??

*no front license plate, muddy back license plate, crack in windshield, too dark window tint... the state must really be desperate for money :-p Or we live in a very unlucky area.

St Patty's Day

What are everyone's big plans for this weekend to celebrate St Patrick's Day? ...besides Kegs&Eggs...

ISO Girl Scout Cookies in Denver

2012-03-07T23:23:18Z

So! I may have totally missed the boat on this but I am looking for Girl Scout Cookies. I used the locator deal on their website but it insists that there are no cookies within 58 miles of me. I refuse to believe that. Has anyone seen any tables set up outside of grocery stores or something in the Denver area? I am will to drive to suburbs if need be. I may have just waited too long =(

ETA: My Brother's Bar on 15th and Platte has them =D

Amputee needed for short horror/comedy film

2012-03-02T19:59:03Z

SORP Films is filming our newest web series "Death Hearse" a horror/comedy film and we are in need of actors and actresses.

This gig is not paid, so why the hell would you want to be a part of it? Because:

1. Our films get seen (over 2 million views on Youtube alone, many of our films go viral and we have been featured in print, television and many other places)
2. Our films are fun to be a part of and you can show your friends what you helped create (There will be lots of action, violence, car chases, explosions, etc in our new film)
3. You will be on set with women in lingerie, if you're into that sort of thing.

I need all sorts of actors currently so hit me up but the one thing I need immediately is someone with a partial arm or leg who is willing to use that physical attribute as part of a special effect. This is not a situation where your physique will be cast in a negative light, we have just found that certain shots in horror scenes work great if the person is able to wear a prosthetic that we have created if they have this build.

Thank you for looking, see our films by looking up http://www.youtube.com/user/pyrotechc3h8
