Southern Sun and Vox Rising

This weekend, especially Saturday was amazing. The weather was beautiful 75 degrees in Boulder and I decided to not take the day off but take advantage of the beautiful weather and get out of the house. Despite running a few errands, which included the surreal experience of returning a bathing suit to American Eagle. Does anyone notice that the demographic has changed so that instead of being a like 17-22 demographic (typically college) it is now like a middle school classroom when you walk in there. I basically clammed up and wanted to vomit. However, it was soon followed by drinking and eating The Southern Sun Pub and Brewery.: http://www.mountainsunpub.com/ so good my friends, and fun. The food is a delicious mix of vegetarian and organic vegetarian meat dishes. The hummus which, is flavored Indian style is awesome and you can get their home brewed beer to go in Mason Jars by the quart and the gallon. And it is pretty cheap. Despite the crowd of somewhat pretentious mountain boulder hippie-ites, just remember to bring cash or localchecks since they do not accepter credit cards-really? Who does that? Apparently this place and yet they don't seem to suffer one bit.
After dinner we hit up http://www.voxfeminista.org/VoxRisingSpring08.html a youth theatre performance about the children who are left behind, which was very moving, despite being problematic at times. Vox Rising is part of the larger Vox Feminista http://www.voxfeminista.org/ theatre organization, which is an interactive multi-media approach to performance. Let's just say it is a group I am interested in doing performance ethnography with-whoot! This is the kind of stuff I thought others would be interested in-especially if you live in Colorado, but if any of you come visit me we will definitely have to venture to these places! Yay happy weekend!
