Having spent a bit of time there, Denver is a great city.

35-40k gross annually is enough to get a decent place in the burbs, either renting or buying. I found several apartments in the 800-1000 dollar range, and some of the houses in the suburbs similar to mine in cbus had me paying 1k or so per month mortgage. If i remember correctly, sq footage was ranging from 700-1200 feet (2-3BR, 1-2Bath)

The transport system in Denver is pretty solid for such a large city, better then I've seen in most. They have an excellent rail system that will get you where you need to go city-wise and my experience of their rush hour has been about as positive as it can be. There's a toll road that will get you places quickly and their airport is top notch.

The culture in Denver is a weird mix of east coast/mid-west exiles and Californication. Of course the immigrants come from everywhere; I found a significant Mexican presence near the Capitol though there was a lot of yuppie commercialism too.

I think you'd enjoy it as a whole, it's got a lot of the benefits of a chicago or new york without all of the big city grime. Still sort of a blank canvas in that regard...

What do you put into your live sets that has made you a dancefloor favorite for the past decade?

"I’m a dance floor favorite? Great! I would say the passion that I feel for the music I buy and the honesty with how I play it. I play the records I love not the ones that simply work. I’ve never taken the easy music option (which would make me a lot more money by the way) but chosen to push people a little. I try to draw people in a new direction slightly and expand their taste a little more than other DJ’s." - Lee Burridge

Not typically, no. My point was that it can change from very cold to really fair here in only the course of a few hours as Denver's weather is quite erratic.

Visited Denver in September of 2007. Although the main purpose for going there was to see Underworld, my dad and I spent a fair bit of time with a family friend of ours that lives there. It's quite the nice little area, not to mention that a beautiful drive through the Rockies is practically right there.

I really do like the area. I couldn't see myself settling down there at all (I'm more of a port-city type person), but I'm definitely planning on visiting it some time soon.

In conclusion, Chipotle.
