July 30 and 31, 2008

I took the short walk down Little Raven Street here in Denver to Elitch Gardens again the other day.  My firm had a company picnic at one of the pavillions, and it was a great (if hot) time.  However, I wanted to update the RexandtheBeast.com fans on a couple of things at Elitch's.  First, construction on Ghost Blaster is still going pretty slow.  I'm starting to wonder if they are going to get it running before the end of the season.  Also, due to various issues, including the Democratic National Convention coming to Denver, the parking lots and parking situa

First, let me say it is good to be back blogging on RexandtheBeast.com.  I have had a crazy beginning of Summer 2008, which has kept me from being as on top of my blogs as I would like to be. 
As the Beast mentioned, I just got back from Salt Lake City where I (along with my 9 teammates) represented Denver in the LQ West Regionals.  LQ is a laser tag game that the Beast and I got into in Nashville when we both lived there (the Beast and I played east regionals one year on the Nashville LQ team). 

As readers know, RexandtheBeast.com purchased a seat on the first ride on Led Zeppelin - The Ride through a charity auction at the new Hard Rock Park in Myrtle Beach, S.C. On April 15, 2008, I (Rex) had the opportunity to take that ride (Row 8 Seat 1).

Exciting News here at RexandtheBeast.com!  We have just purchased a ride in the first seat in the back row of Led Zeppelin--The Ride on the charity auction conducted by Hard Rock Park.  Due to scheduling issues, Rex will be going to Hard Rock Park to take the ride; the Beast can't make it.  Rex will be flying out of Denver into South Carolina to take the first ride and enjoy a sneak preview of Hard Rock Park.  Of course, RexandtheBeast.com will have pictures, video and other information regarding the ride and the day.  All of this happens on April 15.  Aweso

Rex and the Beast would like to congratulate Pat Naughty who won the Mission IOA: Universal Revenge contest by getting a total of 14 out of 15 of the lines from rides at Universal Orlando and IOA used in the movie.  The lines were:

Well, we have had some great participation, but the Mission IOA 2: Universal Revenge Contest is winding down.  The contest ends on Friday February 1.  If you want to play but haven't yet submitted a response, head over to

for info and to watch the movie.  We will post the correct answers and the winner after the contest ends on Friday.

Well, I am sitting in the Tampa airport after a sucessful RexandtheBeast trip to Busch Gardens Africa.  The Beast has just headed for his gate since he has an earlier flight than do I.  This was a quick trip as shown by me picking the Beast up from the airport yesterday at 9:00 and we are already on our way out.  But, it was a great trip.

We stayed at a Hyatt Place less than a mile from BGA.  It was awesome, with a 42" HD flatscreen TV, comfortable beds and a refrigerator for the mandatory Mountain Dews.

I just wanted to make a quick post to let our readers know that Audio Journeys with RexandtheBeast #3 should be coming soon.  In case anyone hasn't yet listened to Audio Journeys #2, I wanted to say that my college roommate, Barry aka Keys from Universal Revenge, will be joining us on the upcoming Audio Journey.  Having various guests join Rex and the Beast is going to be a regular feature on Audio Journeys, and I am excited to have Barry join us as the first guest.
