If you want to support local budding artists, go to Art Mart! It is a huge co-op, that has a ton of original art! It is so much fun to go in and look around at everything they have to offer. They always have great photographs of Boulder, the foothills and Colorado in general. They also have a wonderful selection of candles and jewelery! My kids love going in there because the staff is so nice to them and they always get a free balloon!

If you’re shopping on Pearl Street in Boulder, it’ll be worthwhile to check out Art Source International, particularly if you enjoy historical artifacts. The store specializes in old and reproduction maps and prints (mainly maps), and they also have a lot of historic photographs of Colorado. You can see a selection of what they have on their website, http://www.rare-maps.com, but browsing through the store is much more fun – it’s neat to see the old photos, advertisement prints, and maps up on the walls. The atmosphere is also very low pressure, so shopping is a laid-back experience.

I have very obscure taste in music, and even I can't get my head around what's in Bart's CD Cellar. It was Bart's that turned me onto Esquivel, Four Tet, and Lemon Jelly. Need I say more?
Just ask - you can listen to anything in the store, and they have a great used CD collection. I don't buy vinyl, but they evidently have a great vinyl collection upstairs as well.

We went to the BMOCA Avant Garden annual fundraiser last night. Amy and I are trustees of the museum and strong supports. 150 people showed up for the fundraiser, which was edgier this year than normal (and very fun). The art was cool, the dinner was very well done by the likes of Aji and Full Moon Grill, and the scene was a blast.

Boulder Sports Recycler is exactly that – a great place to buy used outdoor equipment. They carry bikes, skis, backpacks, snowshoes… you name it. Large items and accessories can both be found for a deal. It’s hit or miss though, because the items are brought in by individual owners and sold on a commission structure. Yes! Sell your own stuff there. The more you sell, the less you own… less is more, more or less.

I attended a taping of e-town at the Boulder Theater recently and I was entranced by the beauty of this historical building. From the mid 1920's to the late 70's this building served as a movie theater, but now it houses all sorts of quirky and alternative entertainment. the large center bar serves drinks for all and the acoustics are quite good. Their upcoming event calendar lists an impressive array of entertainment suitable for a wide audience. the e-town taping, featuring the Gourds and Michelle something or other (darned if I can recall her name, but she was good!) was great fun.

Not everyone has the time or the money to get a season pass to the ski resorts every year, nor maintain their own set of ski gear. If you only occasionally hit the slopes, then you probably rent your gear. If you're passing buy, you should give Crystal Ski Rental a look. They have some of the latest gear, and keep it well maintained from patron to patron. The staff is super-friendly as well.

More
As hip, contemporary, and progressive as Boulder is, it's lacking in public art and theater spaces. The two main players in town are BMOCA (the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art) and the Dairy Center for the Arts.
The Dairy is a great, large building that houses a number of Boulder's arts organizations. It's central space is an excellent gathering / meeting space that regularly has outstanding exhibits of local artists (and occassionally not so local artists - like my mom - Cecelia Feld - www.studio7310.com). The theater is larger (seats a couple of hundred) and has edgy, contemporary, hilarious, and often excellent shows.
The Dairy is currently being run by Mollie Fager, who does an extraordinary job. If you are a Boulderite that has never been to the Dairy, look for a excute to go check it out.
