WHAT'S HAPPENING IN DENVER THIS WEEKEND
Hi everyone, welcome back to Don't Mess with Texas.
SPEAKER_01Yes, it is summer.
SPEAKER_00Yes, it's summer now.
SPEAKER_01And it's been a month or more.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, we've been really consistent with our monthly uploads. We're so good. You know what? We're young, wild, and free. Yeah. And we're not making any money from this. No. So, but it is my favorite thing in the whole world. Yeah. Um, okay. Well, yeah, I'm wearing my Zora Larson kind of fit. I don't know if you guys can see my clip. It's okay if you can't. Um okay, so today I kind of like wanted maybe I'll curate some of these items on my list for the summer bucket list. But today we're gonna be talking about summer.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And kind of the stuff we want to do. I think I'll have like a more finalized like plan of like the final summer bucket list. Maybe we can add to it. And I'm thinking we could also do like a like a summer routine kind of thing, like kind of like what we did last year. But like we could even vlog it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, we have the vlog camera now and we've used it once.
SPEAKER_00I know, and we have like a camcorder too, so we can get some cool footage. Um, but I kind of curated for the Denver Girlies, which is a majority of the audience, obviously, um, kind of like a list of some fun frickin' things going on. Because with the Hot Girls Summer Bucket list, um I want to like go to all the cool local fucking events. Like I feel like it's so hard to find out. And there's so many that go on. So I feel like to do an entire podcast episode of even just the month of June would just be like really redundant and there would be a lot of information loss. So specifically, I curated a list of several things going on just this weekend and a couple next, not even all of next weekend. So we can probably get the podcast out and even I can edit now. Oh yeah, let's talk about that. Okay. Okay, so I took video editing, as we know, and I was so scared I was gonna fail. But thank you to Sebastian's help. We passed. We passed.
SPEAKER_01But you did it, you did all the work.
SPEAKER_00No, you like helped me. I mean, you did, you taught me, but like I actually like did I I did it as well, obviously. But it's like, you know what, girls, if you're technologically challenged, this is your sign to really challenge yourself and you can do anything. Yes, exactly. So my classes went great. How about you?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, they all went really well. I for that one online class, I still never got like a grade in it. It just said NA. Oh you serious? But I did everything. So it's like I don't know what else I can do really.
SPEAKER_00Oh, I have to check mine. I thought mine came. I checked mine as soon as grid Oh, I got an NA in Canvas.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. But I checked the final grades and I got an A.
SPEAKER_00So I'm sure you probably did too. Um Yeah, that was we took an influencing class together, learned nothing about influencing. That was so dumb.
SPEAKER_01It was really one of the like stupidest classes I've ever taken where it's like Oh, I literally we I learned no content.
SPEAKER_00I didn't do that. Did you watch the lectures? No.
SPEAKER_01I did the assignments with my group member and that was it. I know. And even then it's like I was just doing what it said. I wasn't like learning anything.
SPEAKER_00I'm like, because it wasn't anything you like really had to research or learn. It yeah, we had to do like a couple ad campaigns, and it's like, yes, that's a part of influencing, but I'm like, this is more marketing for what we were doing.
SPEAKER_01I know, I I wasn't really happy with that class.
SPEAKER_00I wasn't either, and like I get the professor, because so-and-so, who was in our class with us, was telling me she's like, Oh, I was talking to Professor So-and-so, like, da-da-da-da-da, and like he just needs help with like the Canvas stuff, and it's like help with the canvas stuff, like we use that regardless. Yeah. I get online though is like more like there's just a lot more information to be had, but it's like everyone has to have like a basic understanding of Canvas as like a professor.
SPEAKER_01They should. Like I shouldn't be paying for a class where it's online. Yeah, online. And sometimes online classes are even more expensive than the in-person one. I know. Which don't work.
SPEAKER_00And we have to take them.
SPEAKER_01I know. It was a required class, and I couldn't do anything to not do it. So I know.
SPEAKER_00Well, and um they took my minor away without telling me. Because I was like a broadcast journalism minor, so now like I looked on my degree progress report and it's like um minor in journalism, media productions concentration and broadcast journalism.
SPEAKER_02Oh.
SPEAKER_00Which I'm like, that's T because I've taken like no fucking broadcast classes. So it's like, okay, well, it's not what I wanted, but at least I'm like not saying I have a broadcast minor and I have no fucking experience. Yeah. But I'll have a couple classes like this next semester and broadcast. Yeah. Yeah, but that okay, that's like a part of the goals. Like I need a summer internship for next semester for the fall. Or not a summer internship then, a fall one. Um because then that counts as two classes.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And plus it like helps you out and yada yada yada, and all the internships are paid now. So what eleves? But okay, should we get to our list of things? Yeah. Do you want to go first?
SPEAKER_01You can start off and then I'll fill in where like you don't have just for this weekend.
SPEAKER_00Okay, so this weekend in June, um, this is June 5th through the 7th, I have here. Um, the Denver Chalk Art Festival is going on in Golden Trial. Triangle, Golden Trial.
SPEAKER_02Golden Trial.
SPEAKER_00You're like, oh, I put that in my maps, girl, where's it at? No. Um yeah, the chalk art festival is happening. It's free. Like, I think there's gonna be vendors and like live performers as well, but that's like a little fun thing to go to. I would definitely want to do that. Along with the Denver Chalk Art Festival, the 60th annual Greek Festival going on at 4610 East Alamada Alamita Avenue is happening. Have you been to the Greek festival? I have. It's fun. Yeah, I like it. They have like live performers, they have like authentic Greek food, um, different like works of art and like games and stuff. I think it's $5 for admission, though, that's the only thing. Um, but that's another fun happening that's going on. Um Rockies are playing the Brewers this weekend. On Sunday, they're having like a Denver Summit Rockies kind of collab day, which is cool. Yeah, actually, the last Rockies game I went to, um, it was against the Giants. We won, we sweeped, we came, we saw. Um, it was Metro Roadrunners night.
unknownOh.
SPEAKER_00I know.
SPEAKER_01Oh.
SPEAKER_00And I really wanted to get a hat.
SPEAKER_01I know somebody on that on the baseball team for the Roadrunners.
SPEAKER_00Well, I don't think it was the baseball team, it was just Metro in general. But it was like, I really want to get this hat, so that was cool. I didn't know I wasn't watching the game at all, though. I was just having some fun times with the pals. Um, and then another thing going on, I have like a bunch. Um, is the Denver Fringe Festival. I'm not sure exactly what that all entails. I know it's at various like venues throughout Denver.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so it's like 80 different shows and stuff across Denver, and you can like buy like a big pass, I think, to get different tickets and get like 10% off different tickets and a bundle. Um there's like comedy, there's improv, there's drama, there's dances, that's cool. Storytelling, just a whole bunch of stuff. So it's like a kind of bundled event under the Fringe Fest for Denver.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that's dope. So def check that out, guys. I got this from um all of these like ideas from this video in this section from at Process Wins via TikTok. So go check them out. Um I kind of would love to start moving towards that type of content where we go do stuff and like try different things. Yeah, because now we have the vlog camera, so we can't really can like make some short form content.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, we have to do like like market, like different vendors and things like that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, and uh the Jazz Festival, I went with Ella last year. I only went once, but it's like every Sunday in like Civic Center Park, I think. It is so fun to just like grab a blanket with the gals, crack a bottle of wine open, and just frickin' chill. And they have like food trucks and obviously live music. It is really cool. Um yeah, do you have anything else you want to do for yours?
SPEAKER_01Um let me see. Cause I got all of mine from a person called, I just had it up. Um McKenna Griggs on TikTok.
SPEAKER_00Oh, I got some from her too, yeah.
SPEAKER_01So what she did is she put together a whole Google Calendar that you can like put on your own Google Calendar of Denver events. I'll put the link in the description and I'll put a QR code on the screen as well. So you can just scan that and then there's like it's literally so many things. I'm not gonna get through all of them. Oh my gosh, that's awesome. I completely forgot that was a thing until like I saw it. I was like, oh my god.
SPEAKER_00Oh, that was the thing. That was our coachella back in elementary, middle, and high school was all the girls you would show up in um Oh my god. Well, I know one Parker Days outfit. This is like a Texas chain, but it was actually out here in Colorado. It used to be off Parker and Arapaho. Um Gordman's is where I got my Parker Days outfits for like a year. The funny thing about Parker Days is that I took that shit so fucking seriously. Like one year I went, like, and we would get the four-day, three-day pass or whatever. And I I have so much lore at Parker Days. I got so sunburned, like my skin was turning like legit, like it was dark red blue. Like radiation point. Yeah, literally, literally on my shoulders because I'm naturally actually pretty pale.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And um, like I wanted to keep going because I was like, everyone's gonna fucking be there. Like, you want to see your crush at the carnival, that's the that's all the rage back when you're a kid. Um that I took my sister, shout out Chloe, um, her Eagle Quest like cheer sweatshirt, and I just like wore it. It was like literally 105 degrees. It is so hot, but I felt like I was sweating hot, literally gonna throw up, and like riding the rides hurt so bad with my sunburn. But I was like, I feel like an Eagle Quest cheerleader, and I'm in with the cool kids. Like Chloe and I ran Snapchat back in 2016. At me as like what was I seventh or eighth grade, like 2016, 2017. We were like sister duo on Snap, thought we were like not thought we were influencers, we just were.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00We just were back then. And I felt so cool like being a part of Chloe's friends or whatever.
SPEAKER_01She was older than you?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, my older than you. Yeah, my steps are a year older than me. So, but she's two years in school because she like skipped grade or something. But yeah, I got so okay, period. So shout out McKenna Griggs. She got some good shit.

SPEAKER_00I saw that.
SPEAKER_01That one, I think you had to get RSVPs for, unfortunately. So I think that's all sold out, but try. Um Chalk Art Festival you mentioned, Federal A's Night Market. I think that one would be cool to do.
SPEAKER_00What in what's all up with that one?
SPEAKER_01Uh it's just like a bunch of vendors. Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_00Oh yeah, I didn't under okay, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Um Is it all federal?

SPEAKER_00I saw that. From eleven to five.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So And I'm like, why is it? Oh, I guess Pride is during the day, obviously. Yeah. I gotta I have to start getting my Pride outfits. I have my Trixie Mattel outfit. You saw it. It's so good, you guys. Like, I hope I literally love the Bald and the Beautiful. That's my favorite podcast right now. Yeah. Um, and I I just want her attention. She's probably like this drag queen coming up to me. I want to do like drag makeup, like Trixie makeup, but I know it's like You could do it. I know, but it's hard. It's hard. And I don't want to be like the amateur who's like, look at my drag makeup. Like I used to have this fucking boss like that. I I'm like involved in the drag culture, okay? I'm not saying that I do drag or have any expertise to judge, but you know, every bitch watches RuPaul's drag race, so I feel like I can say something. Um my old boss used to do the shittiest fucking drag.
SPEAKER_01Oh no.
SPEAKER_00And like think he was like hot shit though, and that I'm like, I mean, that's where you start out, I guess. Yeah, but thinking you're hot is like thinking you're hot shit, and but these were from like 2013. And like he doesn't do drag anymore, but he was just really shitty at it.
SPEAKER_01Okay, got it.
SPEAKER_00So like you don't have to be rich to do drag, but you can be cunt as fuck with a good personality and lack the if you don't have that, shut the fuck up. Cue! Oh my god. I love that. Sorry, just screamed in the mic, you guys. I love that.
SPEAKER_01You'll see something on social media later.

I also have there's like the seventh animal run for Alana, June. June 7th at Sloane's Lake. Um Odell Brewing Company is having an after party with like some fun stuff. Um and then yeah, I have everything you said. Some of these like are literally tonight that I just had written down. It's adult night at the Denver Zoo. I don't know what that would entail.
SPEAKER_01I think it's just like no kids, and they usually do because like Denver, our museum does it as well, and nature and science does it as well. Perfect. I'm there. Where it's like they'll have like little cocktails and like little hors d'oeuvres and finger foods. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00That sounds like a good time, you guys.
SPEAKER_01I always want to do one because sometimes I want to go to the museum, but I don't want to be around like children are screaming.
SPEAKER_00I'm like, I know. I like miss going to the museums. That's always actually so fun. Like it sounds boring, but it's really fun. It is so funny. Oh, yeah, you're changing them there. Um can we change it on the Spotify or no? I don't know Probably not. I don't even want to go through the troubles. Okay. I I mean if you want to, go ahead. Um it's like permanently like that. I'm like, it's like a profile, like your username or something on TikTok where you can't change it. I would be like, whatever. That is so cunty. I love it. Okay. Um I also have on here the Telluride Balloon Festival is June 5th through the 7th. Oh. And I'm like, that is so fucking fun.
SPEAKER_02That would be so fun.
SPEAKER_00I know. Like there's so many fun happenings in like June and over the summer that I mean there's still a couple things going on. I feel like the fall winter, or at least uh yeah, the fall and like winter time is primarily your options or like going out to bars, pumpkin patches, whatever. I mean, fall's a different thing. But like just going to sporting events. But I feel like in the summer they do so many cool like art wine fests. They do like wine walk in Parker, which I actually love who would do now.
SPEAKER_01We should do that.
SPEAKER_00That would be cunty.
SPEAKER_01I like We should vlog it and like be respectful of people around us, of course. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Even in Parker would be like so. I would do it now. Like now that I'm not like freshly out of high school, I'm not as like annoyed going back to Parker once in a while and being like, people are gonna see me. Like, no. I don't have that fear as much. Um so yeah, that sounds fun. And then um what else do I have on here? Oh, Arvada Summer Fest is starts June 6th. I don't know what that all entails. Edgewater Pride is June 6th, the Manitou Springs Wine Festival is June 6th, and then list in here for the um budgeting baddies. Free day at the Denver Botanic Gardens is June 9th and 11th.
unknownOh.
SPEAKER_00So that's coming up. Um, free day at the Denver Art Museum is June 9th, and then free day at the Nature and Science Museum is June 19th. I got these from Emily Bucktail via TikTok, go follow. Um Yeah, like free day is just like fun. Like who cares? Just go fuck around. Like Papa Eddie, go to the museums. That sounds like a great time. Bring the kiddos, like because uh oh my god, I can't even imagine having a fucking kid and having to entertain them for the summer. I'm like, we're going to the pool and tanning and drinking all day, mama.
SPEAKER_01We're not You can go to summer camp, sorry. Oh my god, yeah. Have you seen those TikToks of people like going to summer camp and it's like twenty thousand dollars per kid? Oh my god, yeah.
SPEAKER_00My friend, shout out Kylie. Um, she takes her kid out of summer camp in I think it's Estes Park. And it is like a huge expensive fucking thing. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01So they're there like the whole summer.
SPEAKER_00I know, I guess it makes sense to be expensive. I mean it shouldn't be, but because you have to feed them, board them, like uh think about all that food, pay for labor. So I feel like it should be at least to be able to pay people properly, uh not expensive, but like I wish there were more pro summer programs through like the den I mean I know there are for from like the rec center, but like basically like the government. I feel like they should do a lot more stuff for the kiddos.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Whatever.
SPEAKER_01Not right now, girl. That ain't happening anytime soon.
SPEAKER_00No, no, no, no. One day, let's pray on it. Um and then just a reminder, y'all, yoga on the rocks has started. I definitely want to go to that. I don't know if I want to go to that.
SPEAKER_01It's like I want to start hiking more. Yeah. Unfortunately, I want to take a 1%.
SPEAKER_00Like, I love walking. I love being in nature. I love views. Why do I fucking hate hiking?
SPEAKER_01Because it's like a commitment. It's hard.
SPEAKER_00And it's hours long. Hours long. I'm sorry. Like, I'm a strict, like, 45-minute workout girly, or like walking two hours. Yeah. That's it for me. Um, film on the rocks, Renaissance Festival starts. I definitely want to vlog there. We should go there. I would fucking love. I would love to cosplay. We should do that. I would do a withering heights look, mama. That's not Ren, but you know, a free-flowing dress with a night in shining armor hus. I.e. Sebastian. Um and then um Avanti hosts like outdoor movies. Yes, movie numbers and Avanti. Tonight is the parent trap this week. Oh. Yeah. That's a fun one for the summer. Yeah. Speaking of summer camp.
SPEAKER_01That's cute. Yeah. We should do one of those.
SPEAKER_00I would love to go to the rent fair.
SPEAKER_01We keep saying that we're gonna do all these and like.
SPEAKER_00No, we're gonna do them. But like I we're not gonna do all of them. Because it's unrealistic to go to every fucking thing because of working. And I work um prime, like farmers markets and festival hours. So that's difficult. But I I like we're doing it this summer. Like we're getting out there. Yeah. Okay, y'all?
SPEAKER_01How much are these tickets?
SPEAKER_00For the Renfair?
SPEAKER_01Oh, they're not that much. I mean 3150.
SPEAKER_00Okay. That's terrible. Yeah, that's like I was seeing like Ealich Gardens tickets for like fifty sixty bucks.
SPEAKER_01I feel like that's a lot. For Ealich's, that's a lot.
SPEAKER_00Uh, I used to go to Ealich's every day. Every day in the summer I would go to Elich's and then the Rockies game. Oh. Sometimes after, and my dad would just sit in the wave pool while me and my sister Yeah, I'm like, what the fuck? But um my sister and I would go on rides all day. Yeah. And that was fun, but that didn't help my emetophobia at all. Yeah, like That's why I don't go to that shit. I'm just so scared, even though I I used to love loving rides. I was very daredevil. How about you?
SPEAKER_01I love roller coasters so much.
SPEAKER_00I don't know if I would love them now. I went on one when I graduated high school, and I feel like you're something when you get older, like when you spin and stuff, you like actually really freaking feeling.
SPEAKER_01Anything else I'll do. Like I love the carnival food.
SPEAKER_00I would love to do a carnival food mukbang. We should do that. And like it everything. And do like um like a cute little photo show. I love the carnival shit still. Even though I'm we're unk. But we're not that unk yet.
SPEAKER_01Not yet.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. We're classic. Yeah. To where it's really noticeable. Some bitch thought I was 27.
SPEAKER_01Oh.
SPEAKER_00Mm-hmm. Yeah, but um anything else you want to add for today? This is kind of short and sweet, but not really.
SPEAKER_01Not right now.
SPEAKER_00Okay, period. I think this is a good little start. Like starting about thinking about this weekend bodies, take your hinge dates, take your besties, take your tops and bottoms, take your whatever, head on over to these local frickin' events, especially the free ones. You might as well. And have a frickin' hot girl start to the summer. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Support some local artists if you can. Mm-hmm. Yes. Yes. Just have a good time.
SPEAKER_00Yes. We're having a Zara Larson, Megan the Stallion, hot girl frickin' summer, y'all. Okay, well, I think that's a wrap on this rendition of Don't Mess with Texas.
SPEAKER_01Just a quick little one, but yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yes. Okay, we'll see you in the next one. Bye. Bye.
