    Any local DIY venues?

    I love metal and hardcore and I know of venues around Denver and Colorado Springs but I don't know any around this area. Does anyone know any good places to see local metal and hardcore around boulder?

    Who to call at the city about possible code violations?

    I rent in the city. I know the city has a mediation department for this kind of stuff for renters and landlords, but I don't need mediation, I just need to talk to someone ASAP about possible code violations. Could be fire code violation and/or habitability violation, or both, not sure. Which department would be best? I need to talk to someone today or tomorrow. I'm about 75% certain that what I'm dealing with is in violation of some city code.

    I already looked over our lease, our landlord used the city's model lease with no amendments whatsoever, like they literally seem to have just printed that out with no changes, so it doesn't exactly give me a ton of helpful info on our current issue.

    Appreciate your help in advance!

    Hardcore/Slam Death Metal Kids In Boulder

    My friends and I were talking about how everyone says there’s no heavy music scene in Boulder. Why not? I’m in a Brutal Death Metal/Slam band and I know that us and other Denver/Ft. Collins/Springs bands would love to play here.

    Just wanted to see how many fans of the genre are here in order to find out if it’s even worth booking something.

    Maybe there is a scene here and it’s just yet to be uncovered…

    Transport to Eldora

    With Eldora now open, I've googled some stuff on best ways to get there but I have some questions I'm hoping people here can help me answer:

    • Is SOV parking at Eldora free on weekdays?
    • Is parking at Boulder main station free?
    • Do I need a day pass to take the bus from Boulder to Eldora?
    • Does my ski/snowboard need to be in a bag of I'm taking the bus?
    • How much do lockers at Eldora cost?

    Any other advice is also much appreciated!

    Boulder Election Results (2E)

    I’m looking at the most recent results on our local election, and am surprised to see what seems to be the least controversial of the local measures is the only one failing.

    Can someone explain?

    Any doctors more likely to prescribe accutane? Medicaid maybe?

    READ. I’ve spent the past 15 years struggling w acne. Changed my diet, went raw vegans reg vegan, all organic, every type of diet. Excercise 30 hours plus. Blood tests, hormone tests, lab results all perfect. 10 doctors and derms. Constantly trying everything and no one will just let me try accutane. I am frustrated and I have even studied the heck out of gut health and nutritional diet etc to figure this out. Mom had it bad and only “some kind of pills” helped her at 55. I’m 30 and I just want clear skin. Looking for doctor derm recs . Feel free to pm me

    What's up with bike paths during the winter? Is there any snow removal on paved paths? Also, can anyone recommend a bike tire for mostly road riding in town with a bit of gravel? Something with good winter traction would be great.

    I'm sure there's nothing done on the gravel paths, understandably so, but does the city do anything to remove snow or ice from paved bike paths? Particularly, I take the wonderland creek path from 47th to 30th for the gym and I have a workout ride I like to do from the cottonwood trail, to Jay, to 63rd, to Valmont.

    The roads looked pretty clear yesterday, so I'm not worried about a big pile of plowed snow on the shoulder. My old tires already slip about on dry gravel, so I imagine it'll be simply unsafe for me to ride today and I'm better off just driving to the gym for a workout. Would love to hear your experiences with riding bikes in town through the winter and what tires you recommend for general use in town. Thanks!

    Looking for the helpers: drop your recs for collective and community based action locally

    Inspired by a post in the Denver subreddit, would love hear from folks about how they engage in work locally to support our neighbors and local initiatives. Send any mutual aid, collective action, or other efforts. Nothing too small -- from blood donation to what non-profit gets your monthly donations to how you shovel snow for the new parents down the street, I think we could all use ideas as many of us audit our own work in community.

    Lost Wallet on Folsom Bike Lane

    Hey,

    If you lost your wallet today on the Folsom Bike Lane, and if your initials are GWC, I have it.

    Send me a PM with your full name to coordinate a pick-up, otherwise I'll drop it off to Boulder PD tonight.

    Vote for a Zip Line to connect The Hill with Pearl St!

    No, this is not r/bouldercirclejerk - The City has released a new Community Feedback Survey for the downtown Civic Area, and inside the "Adventure" conceptual option, there is this gem.

    They are asking for feedback - please, with all of the bad news lately - vote for a zip line. It would make the world at least a little bit better!

    Ballot received but still not counted

    Is anybody else experiencing this? I got an email saying they received my ballot but I would receive another email when my signature has been reviewed. Still in limbo according to Ballot Trax.

    Christmas Visit

    Is December a good time to visit Boulder? We have 5 young adult children and usually visit Colorado in the summer. We can't wait until summer this time. Is December a bad time to visit? We would stay near Pearl St. and plan walkable activities.

    What are the downsides of living here?

    I visited once (from Florida) and felt in love with nature and how physically active the city felt.

    FL can be very expensive (1br rent is $2300) so as long as it's around this price, I'm ok with it.

    Who here was actually born in Boulder?

    I was born here and grew up east of the town limits, west of Louisville. Graduated from FHS. Most people living in Boulder now seem to be from someplace else.

    Cheap massage in Boulder?

    I work with kids and am a full time student and I have so much tension in my neck, back and shoulders. Partly from stress, but also childcare can be demanding on the body. I’m fairly young and i want to try to frequently work out my tension so i don’t have long term health problems.

    Are there any recommendations of a thorough and good quality massage place that is budget friendly?? Thank you😋😋

    Suffragette costumes?

    My middle-school daughter and her classmates are working on a National History Day project on Women's Suffrage. Any recommendations for costuming?

    They wanted to fundraise by selling hot cocoa on Pearl Street, but I don't see any permit option - any known loopholes?
