Where's all the starchildren at?

you are in COLORADO SPRINGS. There's an anti hippie bubble over the town that causes hippies to blow up. That's why Colorado has great rainbows.
Seriously, go over to Manitou, or come north to Denver/ Boulder and environs.
we are here.

Speaking of rainbows, we hosted the Family July 2006 outside of Steamboat.

 

Tony's drum circle (he's a great cat..make sure you meet his family)

MANITOU SPRINGS! YEA! We have a big change as we are going to be
moving the location of the circle this summer.We will be about 6
blocks east of the park we were in.
The new park is Schryver Park in front of the Manitou pool building. .

There is a serious hippy thang going on most nights in Denver, Boulder's Pearl Street on any given weekend, Ned has an enclave of hip sorts.
If you can, head over to Crestone, too.
You just hit the anti-hippie bubble in CS.
Dobson and his SoCal uptight fundies in clean white undies spoiled it.
but for a close/quick escape, see if the bus has a decent connect to Manitou.
I'm pretty unimpressed with the bus' web page http://www.springsgov.com/SectionIndex.asp?SectionID=19
but once the trip planner software gets up there, if it is like RTD's it'll be pretty good.
(I wonder why the two systems cannot share technology? They are not competitors.)

for a road trip, you CAN get from CS to Boulder on the bus: FREX goes to Denver, train to Union Station then the B route to Boulder.
I'd compare time and price with Greyhound, though.

 

that meet up was CS, look up Denver's. I know there's a compassion club round here.
I'm investigating getting on the reg., too. Chronic lifelong pain.

 

you know her, too?
I went to T-day 2 yrs ago out there.
She's my connect to the compassion club.

 

redneck overrun suburbs?
Englewood?
get real.
I walk through a large part of Englewood on a weekly basis and I see folks of all walks of like.
and you can travel to Boulder. you just have to figure it out.
hint: it has three letters.

 

Bingo, Show!
(sez a pass carrier..damn. Have to get a new one today.)

Jen, come to Swallow Hill tonight for the holiday party.
$5 and a concert is involved. Corner of Broadway and Yale on the Englewood/ Denver line. grab the 0 or 27 bus up Broadway.
