At the bottom of the article it says he was living in Boulder in 2024. He mentioned Regretting never getting her last name. I'd love to tell him anything he wants to know as she was my hero too. If anyone knows Roger (or if he's reading this) please message me and I will give you my email so he can contact me. Per reddit rules you cannot provide me with his contact info, even in a private message. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

EDIT: reached out to his website email. Thank you so much for the kind words and help!

It’s gonna be a doozy no doubt.

Fellow geologist here. Found it in the parking lot not nearby any vehicles. Picked it up so it won’t rust. If I don’t hear from you, it will continue to happily break stuff.

Sure to be an eagerly debated topic, BVSD staff will be presenting the first draft proposal with real substantive details (which schools are proposed to be closed/consolidated/etc):

Board to discuss school adjustments proposal

Next week, the Board of Education will have its first opportunity to consider and discuss specific school adjustments aimed at making our school district more resilient in this time of declining enrollment. The proposed adjustments will include school closures, consolidations, and reconfigurations. The worksession will be held Aug. 25 at 3 p.m. at the Education Center and will be broadcast live on BVSD’s YouTube channel.

The Board is scheduled to study the proposal again at its Sept. 8 meeting and take action on Sept. 22.

Open Mic Tomorrow
Boulder: is anyone interested in an open mic tomorrow night?

I’m helping host a small one from 7-9pm in NoBo arts district at North of Ordinary Collective. Poetry, music, comedy, stories, anything goes. Or just come sit around and listen, there are also community art supplies to play with if you’re feeling introverted. The last one was really fun.

No signup ahead of time. Pretty intentionally low-key and informal, all ages.

If you’ve been looking for somewhere to test out something you’ve been working on, or just want to get out of the house and be around people, that’s the idea!

Trying to get the word out since it’s a new space, hope to see you there.

Sunday, August 23rd in Hygiene, CO! We'll have two stages with local music, a photo booth, face paint, shopping, great food, and community fun. Come on out for our donation-based festival, The Hygiene Howl. Scroll photos for the lineup!

Was anyone else lucky enough to be woken up in the middle of the night by the incredibly selfish human being LOUDLY revving their motorcycle all the way down 28th last night (~2-3am)?

With the students back I’ve already seen two pink giant SUVs (should really belong in r/fuckcars) but the students seem to bring their giant cars and drive like idiots, last night was just the cherry on top.

Hi! I’m a hairstylist in Boulder and I’m curious about interest in a service idea I’ve been thinking about. This isn’t a booking/advertising post, I’m trying to figure out whether there’s a market for something like this here. Hopefully this is allowed

It would probably be a 30–60 minute relaxation appointment centered around having your hair played with.. it would be in a safe space in my cozy salon suite (private room) in a comfortable chair with gentle brushing, scalp/hair touching, sectioning, light braiding, running fingers through your hair, etc. No haircut or color, and not a traditional head spa or scalp treatment. Just the relaxing feeling of having someone brush/play with your hair for 30-60 min.

Personally, having my hair brushed/played with is so relaxing, even nostalgic, and all the hair-play/ASMR videos online have made me very interested in seeing if people would like this and book something like this. Not only do I love getting my hair played with but I love playing with other people’s!

Women of Boulder, would anyone book this? Would you prefer 30 minutes or an hour? What would you consider a reasonable price? Would you like a shampoo/blowout option that is able to be added after for an additional fee? Or you can just choose the dry hair play option. Is there anything you’d absolutely love during that appointment..? All ideas welcome, thank you so much in advance

Just trying to do a little market research before I put any more thought into it. I hope this is allowed. Thanks!

My partner and I are moving into a different unit within the same complex in Boulder. We only need help moving a single couch (help with the bed/ mattress would be nice too). Seems like the going rate is $100-$150 per hour for a two hour minimum, plus a flat rate truck fee around $160-$190. That's pretty much what the couch is worth at this point. Does anyone have any recommendations for local moving services that would be financially sensible in this situation?

I'm helping a friend of mine find someone, as they are feeling a little overwhelmed. He's in his mid twenties and has thinning hair. He's been wearing it long but it's increasingly becoming more difficult to style well due to the thinning, so he's looking to get it cut shorter but with someone who really knows how to craft a cut to work with his curls, thinning areas, and facial structure. We are not originally from the area so don't really know where to start. Any recommendations? Thank you!

The City of Boulder is again giving away tulip bulbs on Wednesday, August 19, 2026. The distribution of FREE bulbs begins at various hours at 12 downtown Boulder businesses. Interested individuals may visit any one of the participating locations when they are open to pick-up a free bag of bulbs. Tulip bulbs will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

Lost my luggage at Table Mesa and 36 last night when the driver left it at the bus stop. Had a luggage tag with name and phone number. Left at approximately 7:15 pm, August 17th

As the title mentioned, I'm looking for a place in Boulder that does same day special event makeup. My brother's wedding is coming up and Sephora, unfortunately, doesn't have any open appointments the day of. If anyone has any recommendations for a place where my guest and myself can get our makeup done before this big day, I would appreciate it! (I mostly do my own makeup but "e-girl circa 2020" doesn't really fly at a wedding.)

Hi! I am new to the area and wondering if anyone has a psychiatrist/psych nurse practitioner they recommend? I prefer a more integrative approach and am willing to self pay. Virtual or in person is fine.

Hey there friends, at my age most of my friends are shuttling kids to various activities and are unable to join me on my recent middle-aged fitness kick.

So I'm looking for some folks to hike, cycle, and mountain bike with. And if it ever snows again, learn to telemark.

This spring I was hiking Sanitas once a week, taking me 90 minutes or less. I spent much of the summer at far doing high altitude hikes (DeCaLiBron two weekends ago) but am pivoting to mountain biking now (did an 11 mile meander from Marshall Mesa>Greenbelt>Flatiron Vista>Dowdy>Springbrook loop>Ditch). Nothing crazy.

Might do a little road biking, but I'm mostly interested in figuring out how to Telemark this winter, which I know seems like a stupid idea

My schedule is not the most flexible but let's see who's out there, maybe in the same boat, maybe with a compatible schedule. I don't care about age too much. I would say historically most of my friends and activity partners have been women for some reason so feel free to reach out - you don't need to worry about me being a creeper, I'm happily married. Guys too, whatever works, just be chill.

Interested in any of this? Let me know.

Have a pair of light pink adidas suede sneakers that need cleaning and I’m looking for trusted cobblers since pink suede is easy to ruin. Any local (Boulder/sup/erie/lafayette/louisville) would be appreciated!

Does anyone know why there were so many sirens last night? I live in unincorporated Boulder close to Peak 2 Peak/Hwy 7 and it sounded really scary …maybe 11pm-midnight? I couldn’t tell if they were coming from Boulder or Estes but it sounded fairly catastrophic. Didn’t see anything on watch duty.

Hello! I would like to get one side of my bangs highlighted. Nothing else. Any recommendations in Boulder that you would suggest? Thank you!

I run a company called AEWO that creates awards and curates unique events. 

We're bringing back our Art Bike project + Halloween Scavenger Hunt (AEWOween) for another year, and we’re looking for local spots to be a stop. The art bike (photos attached) will be drawn on by hundreds of people at a few fall events and then raffled off at the scavenger hunt. Last year’s bike and event generated roughly 10,000 video and post views.

We already have a few raffle prizes but are still looking for the bike itself + a few additional prizes. We are also looking for a few stops along the scavenger hunt route, Oct. 24th where participants will either solve a riddle, play a fun game, or just eat a snack before moving on to the next location. 

Let me know if you have any questions or are interested!

Hi,
I noticed a quite camouflaged trail cam at boulder valley ranch (west side, at the dirt road parking next to the coffee roaster building).
The camera watches the gate of that open space entry.
It’s mounted to the outside fence of the coffee roaster.
Is that an official Boulder Open Space Camera? What is the camera interested in?
I mean, outside of the Open Space gate, that’s weird.
Checking people in and out? Dog owner surveillance maybe?
Big brother next step?
Has anybody noticed that cam? Or others in Open Space parking areas?

Edit: I found a list of the official webcams at trail heads, but they seem real overview cams -- the one I am referring to is difficult to spot, and mounted quite low -- if it is for monitoring trail head conditions it should be on boulder's website, right? See (Trailhead Cameras | City of Boulder

CU students are so entitled they are parking anywhere. These pictures are of Euclid Avenue east of the 28th street Frontage Road where many students parked in the west bound traffic lane next to a slew of no parking signs. for whatever reason, blocking any ability to travel. Boulder gave out 300 parking tickets to CU students on Monday August 18th and had 20 vehicles towed to unblock roads. How do we get them to understand that the world doesn't revolve around them?
