Just before heading to bed on Sunday night, I read the shocking and sad news: David Bowie had passed. I now have to reckon with the knowledge that the infinite creative artist, the beautiful mythical creature, the timeless/ageless stranger from the cosmos, was also a mortal man. Of course I’ve been listening to my favorite Bowie songs these past few […]

Kait moved to Boulder about six months ago from Maryland. She was ready for something different, so she quit her jobs, saved up a little money, and drove across the country to Boulder last summer. Her favorite thing about Boulder is the endless amounts of things to do. “There are always new sights to see […]

While some Boulder locals were outside combating the cold this weekend, this former Connecticut native stayed cozy inside with her pup and worked on her painting.

There is no better way to understand the meaning of Boulder, than to have observed through friendship, the year-long process of foreign exchange student, Matt Dempsey. Dempsey quickly transitioned from “outsider” to “insider,” making his stay here seem short, and his move back home, to Australia, difficult for all the lives he touched in his […]

On an unusually grey day, I stopped into one of Boulder County’s abundant and fantastic coffee houses and was immediately warmed by Jessica’s friendly smile. We chatted across the counter and I learned that she moved to the area from California 10 years ago with her family. Jessica’s love for Boulder is evident as she […]

The weekend is near, and Boulder wants you to come out and play. Moe’s Original BBQ will have their inaugural Geeks Who Drink at 7:00 pm on Thursday January 7th.
