Dropping of my daughter at DU so we will be pretty booked, but I don't want to miss out if something really cool is happening. Any festivals or events going on? Anyone have suggestions for places to eat, things to do while in town? We will be back plenty over the next 4 years so this is more specific to this Labor Day weekend vs. touristy things we can do later.
Phish DICKS!
Seriously, best outdoor venue I’ve ever been to. And Phish absolutely kills it there.
Go see Phish in Colorado. It rules hard.
More importantly... How old is your daughter?
There is a shitty hippy band playing in a shitty venue if you're into that.
CU vs CSU at Mile High 9/2.
WTF? :confused:Quote:

Sight lines and sound, nothing comes close. Modern facility with a shit-ton of concessions and beer and bathrooms. Place rocks.Quote:

Dicks is waaaay better than Red Rocks and the Gorge. #fuckingdelusional
Well no shit dumbass. The bathrooms and beer stations are way easier to get to. #mostimportantestQuote:

I don't think anyone is shitting on dicks, Phish has been great there. But your comment is fucking retarded, its a generic soccer stadium.
Wait in the car.
That place is in nobody's top ten, never mind #1. I've been to the greek theater, gorge, and red rocks. All impressive. Hollywood Bowl in LA? Hope to go soon. Dick's? Yeah, on everyone's bucket list because it has lotsa concessions, and sight lines? It's a fucking soccer stadium, of course it does.
Take a lap, don't come back.
To bring this side bar to a close, there’s no fucking way I’m going to Dicks to see Phish.
What else is going on in town?
Thread sucks, Colorado sucks.
DICKS rules!
The Shakedown alone is worth the trip.
Dick Punches all around, go on now.
Hey, im just starting a DU as well from interstate and don't know anyone, whats your daughters number? She can join our study group
Pics of daughter!!
Motherfucker! Old Spaghetti Factory is closing?!Quote:

Damn, and I just put that for events.Quote:

Camping and riding bikes near crested Butte is the proper labor day weekend call. At least it's my call.
And Hook Up forum? What the hell is this
You should try to hit vinotok one year. I think you'd dig it, and the fall riding is fantastic.Quote:

There's a 10k an hour north in Fort Collins if that's your kinda thing.
I would hit up the Pioneer for a quick lunch or dinner if you are looking for something close to the school and don't have a ton of time in between events. It is a cool little bar. Also, Sushi Den.
Google can help with anything else you are looking for in downtown or the the mountains.
