Urban Putt Denver is, sadly, closing its doors. However, there is an opportunity to rescue a one-of-a-kind stand up arcade game/mini golf "hole" before it ends up in the scrap heap.
Bunker Blast 3000 was designed to resemble a retro 1980s arcade game. As a mini-golf hole, the game is played by putting into a ramp underneath the "arcade" display. Sensors inside the game read the ball's velocity and angle, and the game renders a virtual ball on the screen, rolling through a "game grid" like environment reminiscent of Tron. The game then kicks the ball out for subsequent putt attempts.
The unit is 36 inches wide and roughly 5 to 6 feet tall. It features a color display and custom software that exists as a one-of-a-kind homage to classic arcade games.
Here's the deal though: This unit needs to be moved THIS SUNDAY, June 11th, when the dismantling of Urban Putt will be going on.
If you know someone who wants, or you yourself want, a collectible and irreplaceable, fully functional and FUN AS HELL objet-d'art for your living room, barcade, or museum, my friend, Urban Putt CEO Steve Fox, will GIVE YOU the item at no charge, if you can bring enough people and a vehicle large enough to carry it away.
DM me for serious inquiries, only. No, it's too heavy to ship out of Colorado unless you're going to put it in your own box truck and carry it yourself.
If you're in the #Denver area and need any furniture and/or household stuff, LMK. I'm getting ready to move house across the country and am taking basically NO furniture/small appliances/etc. Talking everything from couches/beds to toaster ovens/dishes/etc.
I'll be looking to sell stuff (cheap, tho) first, then giving away whatever didn't sell. Reach out to get on the cheap sales or free stuff mailing list (or both!) and I'll reach out shortly to show you what's available.
does anyone in denver need or want a yarn destash, with a set of metal chiaogoo interchangeables, a set of metal chiaogoo dpns, and a set of crochet hooks with clay handles for ease of grip? yarns are mostly cotton, alpaca, wool; a tiny bit of acrylic maybe for practice/learning? and it's all packed up in a bag that goes with it.
(pls reboost, i am trying to give stuff a home vs random donation to some place that'll underpay people to oversell it) #knitting#crochet#denver
Ive never seen the B-line so full. Even on game days and especially this early on a Sunday. And just about everyone is wearing some sort of rainbow attire and reeking of sunscreen headed to the Pride parade. Love it! 535,000 people are expected to attend per the Center on Colfax's Pride website. 🌈 🏳️⚧️ #loveislove#denver#colorado#pride
OMG, soooo many #rats at the #Denver Animal Shelter right now, including a bunch of very friendly, curious, and excited babies who are about a month old.
Help these boys and girls find their homes! The shelter's a bummer of a place to grow up in, so hopefully they will find something soon. <3
I'm Lily, a proud trans lesbian from Denver, a mom of a 13 year old, and a perpetual instance migrator.
I'm a neurodivergent woman in tech working as a Senior SRE at Writer.
I like to run around the farm, hang out with my kiddo, play guitar, snowboard, go camping, play videogames, hang out at the local lesbian bar, and see whatever kind of trouble my wife @deb and I can get into on the weekends.
Meanwhile in #Denver, yet one more incident that suggests #police in #America are much to eager to reach for their guns... a police office who had been on the scene of an incident less than a minute shot dead an unarmed man who had been tasered already...
I'm not sure how my American friends feel safe in a country where lethal violence is always the go to solution....
Hey Denver peeps/companies: want to sponsor an international conference that's coming to Denver, CO with potentially hundreds of open source developers, maintainers, designers, and community folks?
For anyone in the #Denver area who is looking to reduce their carbon footprint, the city is starting a program to pay people to ride their #bike instead of take their car.
Transportation is the second biggest driver of greenhouse gas emissions and the largest contributer reducing air quality in three city. Every bit helps and the $150,000 in funds will hopefully help push people to make the healthier choice we all benefit from.
The employees of the Denver Art Museum just voted to unionize by a 2-to-1 margin. Even counting all those who didn't vote as no votes, the result is a clear majority.
Well done to the organizers (one of whom I am related to, just to lay my biases on the table).
On one of our last days in Denver, we visited the Denver Botanic Garden. This is an amazing garden very near downtown Denver. I wasn’t sure if it was too early in the Spring to have enough blooms to photograph but all the spring bulbs and trees were in flower. We had a wonderfully temperate, sunny day in which to explore the entire site. One section was under refurbishment, but this will give us something new to see when we return.
When a city like #Denver executes expensive feats of infrastructure to provide a greenspace no one asked for in a fragmented community that needs support in other ways, is it restitution or gentrification?
Purple Door is a coffee shop in #Denver that puts homeless teens through job training programs and then hires them when they successfully complete the program. They are worth your business if you live in or are passing through the city. #Coloradohttps://coloradosun.com/2024/04/01/purple-door-coffee/
I saw this flyer yesterday when walking around the Cheesman Park neighborhood, Denver, CO. At first… I was thinking that this woman’s intentions seem to be quite sweet. But then it occurred to me… umm… isn’t this a quite similar way that the witch lures Hansel and Gretel into her gingerbread house?? I mean… it is literally signed ‘The Crone.’ #message#found#denver
Nuggets coach Michael Malone says they are running it back next year (streamable.com)
I'll find the other video, he said they are greedy!
