My 28th Birthday

For my birthday a co-worker, Mike, made me a chocolate cake with vanilla frosting. I was impressed that he baked it himself. It's my favorite kind and was delicious. That evening a bunch of us went to the Rio in downtown Denver for a co-worker, Kassie's going away party. The Rio is a Denver Mexican restaurant chain and is known for their strong margarita's; there's a house limit of 3.

I then went to see a show at the planetarium that has been on my list of things to do for quite awhile. It's called Sonic Vision (follow the link to see a trailer). It's digital images set to modern music by U2, Coldplay, Moby, etc. I thought it was pretty cool. I first saw it advertised at NYC's planetarium last year, and I was surprised to see it in Denver. The show is 38 minutes long. If you're prone to motion sickness, the first 5-10 minutes could be a little difficult. It really makes you feel like you're moving. I thought of Eileen and how she used to grip her arm rests when watching the roller coaster intro to the Regal Cinemas movies (Eileen - you'd have fun with this show).

I went to Sparrow for dinner. The food was excellent, and I would definitely recommend it.

After dinner I met up with Suzanne's friend, Noah, for drinks at Trios Entico. Noah traveled into town with the NY Jets for the game against the Broncos. Trios is a wine and cigar bar with live music on weekends. I enjoyed a chocolate martini.
