The last weekend of April is among us, and spring is well on its way. If you haven’t heard, Quixote’s of Denver has opened a new venue on The Hill, just in time for spending the evenings on a great patio listening to live music. What was once The Goose, is being re-vamped and turned […]

When I was a barista in Brooklyn, I remember a customer asking for the café’s unwanted coffee grounds for his home composting. We had tons of it—leftover from the espresso grinder and from making drip coffee—filling up our trashcans so we were happy to pass some on to him. Recycling coffee grounds into your compost […]

From 1978 to 1990, Andrei Chikatilo murdered at least 52 women and children in Soviet Russia. Putting aside the grim fact that it’s fiendishly difficult to capture a serial killer under any circumstances, Chikatilo enjoyed a unique advantage.

So… two things blew my mind this week and simultaneously confirmed that I live in a delicate balance of stupor and caffeination. Number one, this: UHM, WHAT!? THAT’S JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE.

The Grammy-nominated Infamous Stringdusters, a favorite bluegrass group around these parts, will be putting on two shows at The Boulder Theater. Fresh off performing the ski mountain circuit, […]

“We would wake up at 3:50 am, meditate for two hours, perform morning chants and have a silent breakfast. There would be silence until 2:00 pm, followed by another work period, where I usually did lawn work, then a silent dinner and another meditation practice.” Meet Andrew Bryson! Before coming to CU Boulder, Bryson spent […]

Last weekend my dad and I decided to go somewhere new close to Zurich. We wanted to go somewhere on the train, but not too far away, and not too expensive. Switzerland is notorious for being outrageously expensive and their trains are no exception. A one-hour ride can cost you upwards of 30 Swiss Franks each […]
