Monday, April 20th, 2009Johnny Schou - Tickle Me Pink Band - Found dead of what?
Saturday, April 18th, 2009I **** to ask this and post this update - it kills me. He was the guitar player and songwriter for the band and found dead on the day their album debuted…
FORT COLLINS, Colo. — The Larimer County Coroner’s office said there was no obvious cause of death found for a 22-year-old bassist of a Colorado band.
Johnny Schou was found dead at his Fort Collins home Tuesday morning, the same day that an album with his band Tickle Me Pink was released (hit song: Typical). His body was found in his bed by band member Sean Kennedy.
“At this point, there is no reason to suspect that foul play is involved,” said Sgt. Jon Holsten.
Chief Deputy Coroner Diane Fairman says it could be weeks before toxicology and microbiology test results are known. The time of death was places as early Tuesday.
Tickle Me Pink played this weekend at that Vans Warped Tour in Denver. Their album, “Madeline,” was their major-label debut.

I am from the West coast (Portland, OR). I moved to Virginia and I **** it here! Will I like Colorado?
Friday, April 17th, 2009I am just disappointed in the people of the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Very rude, rough, nasty, & unfriendly people. So I am wondering if the people of Fort Collins, Colorado will be as polite, warm, friendly, & courteous as people are back home in Portland, Oregon or when I lived in Phoenix, Arizona. I don’t know, maybe it’s just a Western or West Coast thing. People just seem nicer to me back out west.

Someone please help my understand?
Thursday, April 16th, 2009okay, in my pursuit of learning the japanese language I have not over come the fact that I think in an american mind set. Reason being when I translate some of the stuff I say to my japanese friends it turns out like crap. So can some help me with getting over the translation barrier of understanding how my friends read what I say in japanese?
-Example, Hi, my name is Alex Fife.I’m 18 years old and live in Fort Collins Colorado.
Translation-????????????????Fife.I AM 18????Collins????????????(Minus the words that I can’t translate.)
I read it like this for some odd reason. (Today, as for my name the [aretsukusu] Fife.I AM 18 year old, you have lived in castle stronghold Collins Colorado state.) For some reason the words I get are not the ones I say. How do my fellow japanese friends read it?
So now come to think of it should I be more looking at my mental block in the Kanji romaji aspect of it, or will it all still be translated the same way, with the out come of a completely other word. Making me sound like an idiot?

Want them back? lol?
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009FORT COLLINS, Colo. (May 23) - Police are asking Colorado women a rather delicate question: Are these your panties? As part of an investigation into widespread underwear theft, police have invited women to view photos of about 1,300 undergarments stolen from laundry rooms near Colorado State University.
Chih Hsien Wu, 43, is suspected of stealing $6,000 worth of undergarments between Sept. 23 and May 18. He was arrested on suspicion of felony theft, and his bail was set Wednesday at $15,000. It was not known whether he had an attorney.
Police issued the invitation as part of an effort to see how many victims there are.
But they won’t get to reclaim their undergarments - at least not yet. Police say that once the case is closed, the victims can reclaim their underwear - if they still want it back.

Thinking about moving to Colorado?
Sunday, April 5th, 2009Primarily interested in the Boulder or Fort Collins area. Now I know there are other towns near these places, but I’m not sure how close they are, or anything about them. Places such as Loveland, Greeley, Longmont….etc… I see these names looking on craigslist and I’m not really sure what I’d be getting into. Anyone who can help me out, tell me a little bit about living and or working in either Boulder or Ft. Collins or their ’suburbs’ would be awesome. Thanks! Also, I am in my 20s and single and I don’t know anyone out there, I’m moving from the east coast.

Larimer sheriff launches pro-Christmas decoration plan
The official says a Fort Collins plan for less-religious decorations is an assault on freedoms.

To heck with white lights and an all-inclusive “holiday” celebration as touted by a Fort Collins citizens group, the Larimer County sheriff said this week.
Sheriff Jim Alderden believes such a secular event runs counter to what most people in America and Larimer County hold to be true - Christ and Christmas. So Alderden is putting up his own Christmas - “not a holiday” - tree outside the county sheriff’s administration building and is asking people to decorate it Dec. 1.
Alderden wants “members of the public who share our faith or object to government intrusion into our religious freedoms to join us,” he wrote Wednesday in his weekly newsletter to employees and outside subscribers.
Alderden titled his letter “Fort Collins Boulderized: the Task Force that Denied Christmas.”
The task force wants the City Council on Tuesday to adopt new regulations for holiday decorations on city-owned buildings that downplay religious symbols and holidays while emphasizing secular displays and white lights.
An annual display in and around the Fort Collins Museum is part of the recommendation. The museum site could include several non-religious and religious symbols, including a Nativity and menorah, say city officials.
But Alderden thinks the city is trying to brush aside the building blocks of American society - Christianity.
“The fact that we are even engaged in a discourse of whether Christmas trees and Christian symbols of faith should be allowed on city property is absurd,” Alderden said.
“Our country, and sadly our own community, has reached that point where people of good faith and good conscience can no longer stand silently while a belligerent minority usurps our heritage.”
The sheriff’s administration building is on county-owned land and immune from city restrictions. Alderden was out of town Thursday and couldn’t be reached for comment.
County Manager Frank Lancaster said the county has no policies against erecting Christmas trees on its property. “The sheriff is very passionate about this,” Lancaster said. “And we have no problems with it.”
Task force member Seth Anthony said the group worked in good faith to keep the city’s holiday celebration open to everyone, including non-Christians.
