The Mayor’s all-time favorite band is coming to Colorado this week! The Elders are a arse-kickin’ Celtic rock band from Kansas City. I’ve been following this band for years and have seen them live more times than I can count. I’ve also written multiple articles about them for HeidiTown and the Berthoud Weekly Surveyor.

As my girlfriends will tell you, I need no excuse to organize a girls’ night out, but “Julie & Julia,” coming to theaters this Friday, is the perfect excuse!

I finally had the chance to visit Patrick Carroll’s Irish Pub. Find out if I think this one qualifies as a pub, or just another bar.

“Spamalot” opened to a full house last night at Denver’s Buell Theater. It’s the shows second run in Denver. Written by the Monty Python alum Eric Idol as a spoof of the movie “Monty Python’s and the Holy Grail,” this play is even more ridiculous than the movie. Thankfully, I’m a fan of ridiculous and [...]

The mayor of HeidiTown is headed out to see Monty Python’s ”Spamalot” tonight.
It’s going to be laughing, smiling, dancing and singing, and tomorrow there will be a review, so stay tuned.
Cheers! And remember, always look on the bright side of life.
