Genghis Khan & The Denver Museum of Nature & Science

Posted by Jason Hussong on Monday, October 19, 2009,
I have never really been one for natural history museums. I think it's the dioramas that annoy me and the stuffed animals, especially the big ones, that freak me out. It just doesn't seem natural for some reason to me. But, the side of them that I do like are the traveling exhibits, like the latest Genghis Khan display at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

The Genghis Khan exhibit just opened at the museum and will run through February of 2010. I was fortunate enough to get a snea...

The Coors Brewery

Posted by Jason Hussong on Friday, October 2, 2009,
Since my 25th birthday visit with my friend Brian, I have been to the largest brewery in Colorado, Coors Brewery in Golden, Colorado, more times than I can count. I guess that's why Pete Coors was waiting for me at the Blue Moon stand at the recent Great American Beer Festival. A few years have passed since my last visit so I thought I'd drop in once again and say, "hello."

The tour section of the brewery has gotten a bit of a facelift since last I was there. In the past tour guides w...
