The Jeff Show: A Unique Haunt in Denver

The Buckhorrn Exchange: main dining room

Everyone always assumes I get to go to all the glamorous parts of the world for gigs. To put it all in the proper perspective for you, I am writing this month’s installment at a Holiday Inn Express in Grand Island, NE. The weather is beautiful here; the sun is shining, the birds are singing and it hasn't rained in about 200 days. But it's still the Holiday Inn Express in Grand Island, NE.

Since I'm this far west, I recall a unique but tasty restaurant in Denver that is off the beaten path. I haven't eaten there for about four years. Since the joint has been open since the late 1800’s, odds are it is still worth the trip if you find yourself in Denver.

The Buckhorn Exchange sits in Denver's oldest neighborhood. It’s not much to look at from the outside, but you'll find a one-of-a-kind restaurant. This haunt has the oldest liquor license in Denver, and it's the place to go for a different dinner...like wild game meat. You know, rattle snake, elk, bison, that kind of stuff. Their menu is the most interesting I have ever seen. For the less adventurous, I hear they also have a really great steak. Although, I have never tried it.

The only thing that is a little creepy is the stuffed heads of the animals hanging on the walls. You can see from the picture I've included for this post...the décor fits, trust me.

Now, Denver has a lot of really great places to eat. The 16th Street Mall is crawling with them. But, you will never experience a place like the Buckhorn Exchange anywhere else. So give it try.

Well now, it’s time for me to figure out where we are all going for dinner tonight in Grand Island, NE. We tried the Texas Road House last night. Great wine list -- I’m kidding.

Wow, they have an Olive Garden and a Red Lobster here. We're in luck.

Until next month...

Your Back-to-Meeting Season Checklist

Once the kids are back to school, meeting and convention season is right around the corner. We hope you had a wonderful and relaxing summer, but we were busy improving our AV inventory for you. We also created our back-to-meeting season supply list of new equipment we added this summer.

☐ Audio

Warner introduced three new digital consoles to our inventory. The Soundcraft Vi1, Soundcraft SI Compact 32, and the Soundcraft SI Compact 24. These consoles give flexibility on mixing large venue arenas to breakout room meetings in digital format. Digital consoles are self-contained with all of the processing built into the unit-- meaning there is less clutter at the front of house where meeting attendees are paying attention to your client's presentation.

☐ Video

This meeting season, take your presentation to the next level with a complete HD video package. Our newest inventory in the video department is the Eiki LC-HDT2000. The HDT2000 projector is a 15,000 ANSI lumens with full HD 1080p 2K Resolution. The Eiki has internal edge blending and image warping which means no screen is too big for us anymore.

☐ Lighting

We have not forgotten about lighting and neither should you. We introduce to you the ColorBlast TRX 32xLED-HB/RGBAW fixtures with the standard Red, Green, Blue, color scheme and offering the addition of Amber and White to make white light…whiter! These fixtures are small and versatile to accomplish any job.
