Spring and Summer Line-Up

Alrighty, so finally I have sort of gotten my act together. As in, figured out what acts are goin on around town other than the act of me making my new room a happy space, managing waking up at 5am 4 days a week, adapting to a Boulder winter, learning the ropes at Lucile's and Standup for Kids. Ah, what a whirlwind moving to a new place is! But I do love it here and am happy beyond belief about all the things going on! Oh, I am happy! I'm hoping to lure you in with a few of the main attractions happening this spring and summer. I have already bought tickets to Nebbia, Rent, and Girls Only:The Secret Comedy of Women. Tickets for the Mile High Music Festival go on sale April 3rd...

- The 61st Annual Conference on World Affairs at the University of Colorado at Boulder April 6th-10th. "The Conference on World Affairs, originally founded in 1948 as a forum on international affairs, expanded rapidly in its early years to encompass the arts, media, science, diplomacy, technology, environment, spirituality, politics, business, medicine, human rights, and so on. Roger Ebert, who has participated in the CWA for thirty-eight consecutive years, refers to the CWA as 'the Conference on Everything Conceivable.' Each April 110 participants representing a wide range of backgrounds gather in Boulder for what The New York Times calls “a week-long extravaganza of discussion and debate” on over 200 panels, plenaries and performances" (http://www.colorado.edu/cwa/information.html_.
