My wife is from Boulder and my fatherinlaw is a CU grad. Boulder is cool for about 2 weeks, then all the Subaru driving weed smokers start to get a little annoying. Even rich people out there dress like hippie pot smokers- socks with sandles, (hiking sandles, not like flip flops or anything) bicycle shirts, long greasy hair. They all drive cars with 4 wheel drive because SUVs are too pollutery. So I enjoy my vacations to the Boulder area but am ready to get back to reality when the time comes.
