The Hydle Patio Happy Hour is every friday afternoon revolving around the sunset in Golden, Colorado. Occasionally we will begin at the Coors Complex, graduate to a Barmen, eat toward Tequilas and end on the Patio.
If you reached this page via the “Hydle.com Free Sunset Beverage on the Patio” listing on The Dealmap — email sunsets@hydle.com and introduce yourself to schedule a day and time.
Cheers
-Greg Hydle

“I’ve done so much with so little for so long that now I can do anything with nothing.”
I love this quote… and overall enjoy this video. But it’s a little too long and a bit too draggy for multiple viewing sessions. Cool car though… but the music needs to evolve.
Generosity Day is the new Valentines Day…
“There’s nothing wrong with holidays, and certainly nothing wrong with romance, but we’re maxed out on fabricated emotion and are craving things that are genuine. Generosity Day is a chance to get in touch with what we’re longing for: to be the best version of ourselves, to connect with one another, to help.”
Nobody needs or needed permission to create this. So why not [Get Shit Done]? Especially if you are a non-profit.
“It nags, it controls your dreams. You feel the irrational pull. You know you must do it, even though everybody thinks you’re crazy. That is the burden.”

“It’s not conducive to smiling and being happy. So please… lets get back to the way nature intended us to be. With a smile on our face and enjoy all the wonderful things we have in this great land of ours.”

The Phantom Flex Digital High-Speed Camera shoots 2,570fps at 1920×1080 at 1200 ISO… which allows for amazing low light shots like this.
Jam.
[YouTubeUlar] <— 4,722 Ridiculous. Brain Farm and Red Bull kill it again with Travis Rice and The Art of Flight Movie Trailer. There are at least 8 “Holy Shit” elements in the first half of this teaser… I don’t even know what to say — Guess we’ll just have to wait to see the full film.
Genius.
[iDevice Link] <— 21,510 In November of 2010 I had the opportunity to road trip to Lubbock, Texas to tell a story about a west texas piano player who goes by the name of Doug Smith. My only introduction to Doug prior to engaging with him at his home in Petersburg, Texas was this video above... and a minor tour through his music library from the iPod on the road trip down. Doug was injured in a car accident in 2007 while driving home from his studio late one evening on a two lane rural Texas road. Hey lay upside down for 3 hours with a broken neck before he was found and ultimately transferred to Craig Hospital in Englewood, Colorado to continue his rehabilitation back to the piano. As you will see in these future posts about this life changing trip to the cotton fields of west Texas, Doug Smith has since returned to the studio in a new musical form.
“You don’t need hands to play a piano… you don’t need legs either. You just need a will in your heart.”
Look for the release of Doug Smith’s first post injury album to be hit the shelves shortly after the 10th annual Craig Hospital PUSH Dinner on March 3rd, 2011 – where you will also get to view this completed video project.
For more information and tickets to the 10th annual PUSH Dinner – follow this (yet to be found) link.
[iDevice Link] <— 39,607 Some very interesting analogies and thoughts presented via messengers, comedians and a little bit of sappy emotional music. 3:05
“When you win… you go into this smoky room with the 12 industrialists capitalists scumfucks who got you in there. And your in this smoking room and this… little screen comes down. And a big guy and a cigar says – “roll the film”. And it’s a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you’ve never seen before.And then the film – the screen goes up and the lights come on and they go… “Your the new president – any questions?””
Classic find Robert Fulton.
“This is really about ‘making-up’. When you are just at the edge of the ‘it’s too hard’ precipice, look down and think about life without love.
It’s easy to be cynical about love. But when loves leaves your life, you realize that everything is better with it. The Friendship, Partnership, Warmth, Connectedness, Support – it all makes life just a bit more worth living.
Don’t be cynical, don’t be flippant, try your heart out, you don’t have to settle – strong back, open heart – it’s worth it.”
After reading / researching / browsing / linking / searching and internet surfing on random waterfalls and kayaking expeditions throughout the world – I stumbled upon this Outside Magazine article about the life of Hendrik Coetzee and his unfortunate death on the river.
It is a very inspiring story and kicked me into an emotional adventure thinking about how small life really is and how important it is to live yours. Because If you don’t live your life – then somebody else will… and Henri Coetzee, “the great white explorer”, was that somebody.
I feel privileged to take the time to learn something amazing about the passions of a complete stranger. I have some friends up above that I know you are hanging out with Henri. Your last writing is chilling to consume, and will not go unnoticed for you shall never “live a better day”.
Why, within human nature… does it take something to end, like death – for others to begin caring?

For a while I was watching in low def thinking it was faked… but reading into it and watching in HD i’m willing to claim this massive 189 foot waterfall kayak drop by Tyler Bradt a real success.
Don’t be scared to check out Dream Result and watch the trailer to the movie this ridiculous drop of Palouse Falls in Washington State appears in.
While we are at it, lets enjoy some of the most amazing waterfalls in the world.

Super Bowl Ad favorites are coming in from every direction. Lets jump into who was in charge of some of these creative pieces.

Super Bowl XLV Advertisement Brand – Chrystler
Commercial Name – Born of Fire (Imported from Detroit)
Hydle Ranking – Almost Genius
Eminem previously appeared in a “Brisk” Super Bowl Ad that blatantly states why he does NOT do commercials prior to this Chrysler ad running. Whether it was unfortunate timing or not… the two ads did not jive with me.

“I’m not trying to change the world… but you know when I see a smile up there in the favelas, or down there in Cambodia. In a way I feel like I achieved my goal.”
Amazing two closing shots.
