fee Yes, there's never a dull moment in Boulder. Just follow the bouncing bong to the teenage ideolist's vision of college life and the best of the West on weekends, where food stamps are a convenience rather than a necessity and the snow never sticks. Just remember, you're here to be educated and not in the finer points of rozor-blode finesse. No? Fake it. Books should be dusted twice a semester to maintain that scholastic demeanor, and classes attended when it's too windy to toss Frisbees 0t prospective pickups sitting innocently on the lawn, ftwell, excuuuuuuse me J. Extensive lying to your parents then becomes on cart form, especially the classic dioling-for-dollors call and the popular Dad, I dropped all my classes on the day after the deadline discussion. Collect, of course. It's an acquired sense of the absurd that distinguishes Boulder from the rest of the world, sorta like life in the Ieft-turn-only lone without 0 signal. We're all bozos in this burg, but if we acted mature, they'd take our childish complaints seriously and make a concerted attempt to prepare us for the real world. No fun. I'd rather stay in our scenic sand box, leaving adulthood to the Denver commuters. Everyone sing along, Oh, home and deranged. .

'12 Boulder has a reputation as a cultural train-wreck, featuring freaks from every state, plus a healthy population of European and inter- planetary exchange students. Our little city sports more accents than an airport, and 0 here today, Mars tomorrow attitude that insures a new neighbor every few weeks. The look of the area is Early American Bomb Shelter, with architectural styles only NASA or Woody Allen could love, and several trillion tons of brick on campus for that institutional touch. North Boulder Victorians look great on television, but Table Mesa dwellings are as mundane as Marlboros and always a mess. Only insomniacs and psychotic philosophy graduates live near campus, since insanity replaced instant karma on the streets and the rent makes tuition seem like small change. Dorms are for dinks, digressives, and those fun- loving frosh. Of course, there's always Nederland. Music is the closest equivatent of formal religion in Boulder, with plenty of rock cathedrals and jazz temples for the faithful. Four record stores can thrive on the same block, selling enough Steely Dan to stay afloat between special orders for the hard- to-find Charlie Parker anthology. Punk-rock is potent on the local level, but Firefall clones and country cauterwaulers make up the majority of hometown talent. Concerts are a daily occurrence, and the next Bob Dylan is probably performing downtown right now. AM radio was outlawed in town after Elton John, but FM stations here can be built with one Jackson Browne album. And you can even play Black Sabbath at 78 backwards and see God without anyone laughing, although it's rumored that a pepperoni pizza from Abo's works better. Boulder's restaurants feature menus ranging from sirloin to sprout satads to anchovy subs, but fast-foodchain fun better epitomizes the local .t x ?thi , collegiate culinary preferences. Anything plastic is potential protein to the discerning junk-food inhaler, the more carbohydrates, the better. McDonald's leads the field, but chronic junkies often frequent Burger King, Dairy Queen, and 7-H. Round the Corner is for those in the need of hamburgers without styrofoam accessories and Haagen-Dazs caters to elitist ice cream addicts with a mouthful of sweet teeth. The demise of Tom's Tacos on Baseline was not a factor in the resurgence of the Gyro at assorted Broadway beaneries, but somewhere has to have the worst food in town, besides the ever- carcinogenic Packer Grill.
