Looking for something different to do this weekend (July 26-27)? You might want to check this out:

Welcome to the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival

Join us for the 8th Annual Colorado Dragon Boat Festival!

Two days is hardly enough time to soak in the culture and flavor of the world’s most populous continent, but the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival comes close. The Colorado Dragon Boat Festival (CDBF), a free family-friendly festival highlighting Colorado’s rich Asian Pacific American heritage, returns for its 8th year to Sloan’s Lake Park in northwest Denver July 26-27, 2008.
A window to the Pan Asian world, this diverse weekend festival is the only one of its kind in the United States. It showcases an array of traditional and contemporary performing artists, cultural customs and cuisine from Asia and the Pacific, eclectic and exotic shopping opportunities in the Marketplace, in addition to two days of competitive dragon boat racing.

There's also the 2nd annual Russian Festival in Glendale today.

Vegas: You dork, a lot of us said that it's just smaller here than in other cities. But hey, as I've always said:

Disclaimer: Denver is a good city with many things going for it. I will always call it my home. It is just on a smaller scale than other cities.

So while I have this list of why I want to move, part of the list of why I like Denver is the festivals. Man, there is a festival for every group here. Just this summer I've been to two bbq festivals, a few wine festivals, green chili festivals (omg the best ones are coming up in the next month or two) and then there's the German festival, among so many I've probably forgotten to list them.

This one is pretty neat, the Dragon Boat. I'm tired of it, but I've seen it many times. If you've never been, go early, it gets hot. Good thing is the lake is smallish so you can walk around and get a good look at the boat racers.
