I have a relative that lives in Boulder. She makes the DU crowd look like raving conservatives(and I'm not joking at all). Very bizzare family gatherings to say the least.
It's too bad because it's a beautiful place for a town, it's a nice size, it's pretty with all the red brick and flowers, etc. But there is a reason that Mork from Ork lived in Boulder, and that his robed friend Exidor was one of the local residents. I spent a little while lazing in the sun on the courthouse lawn back in my drifter days.
Keep (insert Boulder/Austin) weird.
In Austin they're very proud of their motto and keep it true to form.
