Remember when a single 20oz serving of Mountain Dew could keep you up all night, bouncing off the wall in a state of super stimulated delight? 
Boy howdy, I do.  Damn you tolerance dam you straight to hell.

My most solid friends have come from the shadiest of places.

4HWW was a real eye opener for me, putting into perspective what it truly means to live a rich life.  It has very little to do with a 7 or 8 figure portfolio. 
It has everything to do with having the freedom to spend your time as you wish.
It turns out it’s not just UM idol Tim [...]

Tyler Jacobson (DJ Danger) and Michael Trundle (Boyhollow)’s “Lipgloss” has been a Friday night institution of hipstery hijinks here in Denver for 7 years running.
Equal parts brit-pop + indie + disco dance party, bleeding edge electro freak fest and cheap beer bonanza, Lipgloss is a guaranteed good time, everytime.
I can remember its humble beginnings as  [...]

Can I not do this?  I don’t think so…

Since my own dry cleaning bills run in the $75-$100 category and a lot of our readers use dry cleaning regularly; some tips to save  money.

If you do not see a post on here from either Cash and I for a day or two, contact the authorities.  We’ve probably went missing, and people will just think we’re out traveling, not returning phone calls, or hiding in our apartments.  Save us the embarrassment of the month it would take our friends/family’s [...]

Presenting; “F**k Raffle”
Sponsored by web-vid heavy hitters like Penthouse, Brazzers, and Digital Playground (now streaming the real Humpty Dance), FRaffle’s the world’s first raffle offering 10 lucky winners their very own steamy session with the vixen (or vixman!) of their choosing. Victors’ll be winged to LA for a six-night stay, which (following a quick disease [...]

“You don’t plan to fail, you fail to plan.”
Thanks to Collin for sharing this in response to my ‘dream job’ post awhile back.

When I was in high school, I knew two girls who were avid PETA supporters. 
One of their favorite Saturday night activities was to visit Osco Drug with a bunch of “Animals Were Tortured In the Making Of This Product” stickers and affix them to ‘naughty’ cosmetic products known to do animal testing.
Apparently, there is a [...]

One of the best days of the year.  Don’t waste it.

I recently received an instant message from an unknown friend. He said that I’ve been on his list for a long time. We figured it out was from somewhere around 8 years ago. He described himself as “tall, scrawny, and awkward.” After we realized we wouldn’t remember each other he bid [...]

Sometimes I wonder if planes really take me anywhere.  I’ve driven from Michigan to Colorado, so I’m pretty sure that these two places exist and are significantly far apart from each other.  Aside from this, everything else is up for grabs.  When I get on a plane and end up somewhere exotic, I tend to [...]

Redken recently sent along their new line of ‘minis’; travel / gym bag sized versions of their top 4 selling products.
Over the last week, I put them to the test.

So in my ongoing quest to keep you up to date on the best ways to spend your drinking dollars in Denver, I decided to share an email I sent to my good friend Donnie.
It concerns Bar Standard (see my original review here) and their new Sunday afternoon patio parties:

How I’ve gone xx years without attending the annual AVN awards is beyond me.
Porn.  Las Vegas.  Two of my favorite dishes- served together piping hot.
You can be damn sure I’ll try to pimp my UM credentials for a ahem, closer view.
Stay tuned.

We’ve been busy working on a massive overhaul of Urban Monarch.  We’ve got a new logo, a new design, and whole slew of new content we’ll be bringing out in the near future.  As part of our renovation plan, we want to rewrite the About Us page.  We’ve realized it doesn’t really have anything about [...]

One thing I miss about being a kid is climbing all over the jungle gym at the playground.  For some reason,they tend to frown upon grown men doing that.  Luckily, there’s Parkour.

If anyone reading UM isn’t already familiar with Despair.com you’re officially grounded.
Despair’s been providing biting ‘demotivational’ posters that counter all that Successory style bullsh1t you’ve probably seen taped up in your director’s office.
Now, they’ve taken their great idea further:  D.I.Y. demotivational posters, like my brilliant contribution shown above.
Create your poster, email it to friends, or even [...]

Judging by overheard conversations on the “0″ bus, it can be hard to tell.
