40 Double “W” (The Undeleted Scenes 2)
40 Double “W”: 40 West Wesley. Watch this if you are ready for a wave of recent nostalgia (depending on when you’re watching it) and approximately a “meellion” inside jokes. This is life among an eclectic group of friends in Denver Colorado: Featuring a dog, a student, a couple of young professionals, and a couple of young unprofessionals. The film contains some cussing so if you get offended by swearing you should probably still watch it and feel guilty later.

You guys really fill life to the brim. I love you all.

I hope that this film can communicate a piece of my experience in the Himalaya. “The highs were higher; the periods of despair were deeper and darker.”

We got three-fourths of the way up Long’s, past the boulder field and through the keyhole. We were beaten by the mountain on a small ledge. Where, cold, tired, hungry, and without the proper gear, we turned back.
