BOCA: The last concert that I attended was at Red Rocks in Denver, and it was Devil Makes Three opening for Trampled by Turtles. There isn’t a better place to see a show than at Red Rocks in the summer.
TALKIN’ CLOUD’S SPIN: I wonder how this venue got its name.
BOCA: The last movie I saw was “The Guest,” which was by far the worst movie that I’ve seen in years. Really a terrible movie.
TALKIN’ CLOUD’S SPIN: Tell us how you really feel.
BOCA: The last car I purchased was a 1979 International Scout II. This is a photo of it at my wedding from this summer.
TALKIN’ CLOUD’S SPIN: This is now the second time a CEO has sent in a picture. Can we keep the momentum going?
BOCA: My favorite recent TV show is probably “Sons of Anarchy.” I probably only watch a couple hours of TV a month, but a combination of motorcycles and motorcycle gangs had me glued to “Sons of Anarchy” for weeks tearing through the seasons.
TALKIN’ CLOUD’S SPIN: Binge-watching — brought to you by Netflix.
BOCA: Stemming from my “Sons of Anarchy” addiction, the last book I read was “Breaking The Code: A True Story by a Hells Angels President.” Great book to give you an inside look to motorcycle gang culture.
TALKIN’ CLOUD’S SPIN: Does television affect our behavior? See answer above.
BOCA: The last gadget I purchased was a DJI Phantom Vision 2 — super geeky, and amazing technology. It’s not often that you’re blown away by technology like this, but the Phantom sure is impressive.
TALKIN’ CLOUD’S SPIN: Purchase a drone before regulations are put into place.
BOCA: I enjoy skiing out in Colorado, and the last app that I downloaded was Epic Mix, which tracks your activity around Vail Resort ski mountains.
TALKIN’ CLOUD’S SPIN: To learn or not to learn to ski — that’s the question.
BOCA: The last cocktail I ordered was a bourbon mule, or as Kentuckians like to say, a Kentucky Mule. Great pin on the Moscow Mule, with ginger and and bourbon.
TALKIN’ CLOUD’S SPIN: Well, if there’s bourbon, then it must be worth having.
BOCA: The last song that I played was “Knee Deep” by Zac Brown Band. Good song to listen to when you’re stuck indoors in the brutal winter.
TALKIN’ CLOUD’S SPIN: What about “Colder Weather”?
BOCA: I just got back from my honeymoon in Thailand. Amazing people, food, and culture.
TALKIN’ CLOUD’S SPIN: Welcome home.
BOCA: I just got back from my honeymoon in Thailand. Amazing people, food, and culture.
TALKIN’ CLOUD’S SPIN: Welcome home.
