cwnorman Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 New to Denver and this will be my first show in CO, and my first trip up to Boulder. As long as I get everything down before noon Saturday, I'm going to try to get up there early and check out the town. Any ideas of places to check out, eat, drink before the show would be appreciated. Any idea on what time the doors open? My fiancee is on call Friday night, but I'm goin to do my best to get her up there. If not, I will have an extra if anyone is interested. Believe it's sold out.

Mystik Spiral Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 according to the fox website, doors are at 8:30, show at 9:00, though with the fox it's always a gamble on whether a show is going to start on time or not. the sink is nice because it's right next to the fox - it's a boulder institution there on the hill. good food and usually some great drink specials. have fun, i'll be attending a graduation in fort collins on saturday night...

Lammycat Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 The Sink is a good call, and if you have a lot of time to kill, check out Bart's CD Cellar off the Pearl St. mall. Album's On The Hill (right across from The Fox) is nice, too. ed. Forgot you mentioned you'll be up there very early. If you like small-brewery and great tasting/selection beer, check out The Walnut Brewery (on Walnut St.), West End Tavern (on Pearl) and especially the Mountain Sun Brewery (Pearl) . At Mountain Sun (my favorite of the Boulder beer joints) try the Raspberry Wheat or Colorado Kind Ale. http://www.mountainsunpub.com/ All have great micro-brews and decent+ eats.

Mystik Spiral Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 ooooooo, yeah, mountain sun is good. the raspberry wheat is muy bueno and their ipa is good too (but then i'm kind of an ipa whore...). i love their hummus sammich, and you can also create your own grilled cheese! a very veg-friendly restaurant.

Wendy Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Great poster! I have no tips for you about the logistics of attending this show, I just wanted to add my 2 cents about how much I wanted to see one of these acoustic shows in "The Dirt Underneath" tour. I have listened to some cuts from one of the earlier shows*, and what I hear is phenomenal. I mean, a toned-down acoustic DBTs? I sure hope they continue offering up some acoustic songs in their regular DBT rock shows once in a while. Don't get me wrong, I love the rock shows, but knocking it down a notch or two for a few songs would be a breath of fresh air for my ears. * http://www.southernshelter.com/ cwnorman, have a great time and I'm looking forward to hearing about it, so please report back, k?

I'll definitely be posting a report tomorrow. I have been looking forward to this for quite some time. From what I've read over at nine bullets there are even some fans who wouldn't mind seeing them stay on this path. I'm not sure about all that, but I do know I'm in for a treat.
