Happy Birthday, my revolutionary sweetheart

Boulder turns 150.

I hear they're dressing in period spandex downtown this weekend.

I shouldn't snark. Boulder's has hosted my entire adult life. Love, loss, joy, sorrow, work, play. Thin air, dark beer, Mighty Burgers and $.99 nachos at What's Up FAC.

First job here was in a furniture factory, staining chair sides for minimum wage, a job I landed on my 23rd birthday. I recall walking to work everyday from 19th and Marine to old Pearl, throwing up clouds of hoppers across the vacant lots along the way. Bought a case of Molson every payday.

Many memories. Some toxic, many fond.

Happy Birthday.
