Mandee - a ride from Boulder would be reaaaally awesome if you it's convenient for you. The only thing is that I'm going to be at work until about 5pm or so. Is that too late to swing through Boulder? If so, that's cool, I'll just take the bus to Denver, it's not a big deal.

Zach I probably won't leave Greeley until 6pm or so... so yeah, the work issue isn't a problem.

awwwwwwesome.

I'll send you an email with my address. It's not hard to get to - it's a few blocks west of Broadway, on the Hill.

hey zach, change of plans - my friend's band is playing downtown tomorrow (20th & Larimer somewhere) and then there's a party thinger afterward. wanna come down for that?

homosexual II, Thursday, 19 June 2008 23:03 (fifteen years ago) link

YES, that sounds great. Although, I may have to be lame and leave the party early, because I think the last bus back to boulder leaves around midnight or so (I could be hilariously wrong on that).

Z S, Thursday, 19 June 2008 23:09 (fifteen years ago) link

no, last one leaves at 2:20 am duder!!!

homosexual II, Thursday, 19 June 2008 23:18 (fifteen years ago) link

Mandee, I just got back from Denver about 20 minutes ago. What a fucking awesome weekend trip! I laughed so hard and so often over the past few days that I actually have a sore throat (best sore throat ever). We gotta do it again sometime soon.

Just got into an 40 minute long argument about THE ENVIRONMENT AND ENERGY where he said that I was a hypocrite because I only am a vegetarian (a decision I made on grounds of energy use) and don't go "100%".

LATE UPDATE

he walked in and totally apologized. Maybe's he's not so bad.

SRY SO DRUNK BOULDER

I have a hard time making up my mind about Boulder. When we lived there, my friends and I used to compare it to Dairy, from Stephen King's, It. You keep looking around hoping that someone else will acknowledge that there is something terribly wrong about the place, but, like you said, it's all glazed over eyes.

That being said, there were days when shit was way bad, and all I had to do was take a look at the flat irons and it would wash away.

I was planning to move to China this fall, but salary expectations and visa problems are making that less of a viable option. I think my girlfriend and I are moving to Boulder in August.

Where are you from originally, ZS?

Benjamin -

I'm originally from near St. Louis, Missouri. A small town called Farmington. But now I'm living in Ithaca, NY, but only until I graduate next May. Then somewhere else. I HAVE NO HOME.

Z S email me at dr dot drew dot daniel at gee mail dot com so that I can list you in Boulder brah

Drew Daniel, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 06:52 (fifteen years ago) link

Drew, I just emailed you, but since it's already 6:30pm I'm assuming it's too late for guest list action. No big deal though, I'll be there either way.

Z S, Wednesday, 16 July 2008 00:34 (fifteen years ago) link

They're still cool dudes though. My roommate says "Yeah, right?" anytime he agrees with someone else, which is endearing.

two weeks pass...

Anybody lived in Ouray or Silverton?

Alex in Denver, Wednesday, 13 August 2008 10:18 (fifteen years ago) link

six months pass...

I moved back here, to Boulder. I got dragged to some awful show at the Boulder Theatre (Charlie Hunter), with a bunch of people standing around not even paying attention to the music.

This is the weird thing about the jam band scene. Most of the people I know who go to these shows walk around and socialize, meet people they saw half way across the country at some other lame show, and only intermittently notice the music.

Other than that, I am extremely happy. I've lived here before, when I could hardly bare it,but now I've got a decent job and can actually enjoy the place. Side note, this is one of the most fit conscious cities in the country, yet when I live here I pack on the pounds.

Benjamin-, Tuesday, 3 March 2009 05:41 (fifteen years ago) link

five years pass...

Family vacation in Steamboat Springs next week, meeting up with even more family. I've always had an irrational hatred of Colorado, so I admit I am prejudiced, but I'm also open to having my mind changed. So: what am I in for? Hippies? Bobos? Bozos? I'm sure it will be fun with fam regardless.
