Boulder Today is available at 500 high traffic student locations. We reach a highly targeted demographic.

BASS THUMPING and electric boogie music filled the Red Rocks amphitheatre on May 28th for the anticipated season kick o. Boombox, Emancipator and Big Boi opened the stage for what could only be described as musically compelling and enigmatic. Each of

the DJs/MCs were bringing fresh new material to the table, giving the crowd their moneys worth. Finishing up a strong four night series in Denver and Boulder, The Disco Biscuits put on their usual hypnotic performance drawing a smaller crowd than expected. Regardless, the fans ate it up dancing and yelling for the last four hours

of the night only to be interrupted by Europes legendary DJ. West Londoner, Christopher Mercer better known as Rusko, dropped his new track Everyday inflicting the masses with his unique bass driven sound. As a producer he has turned out countless commercial remixes only to be trumped by his latest LP Lick the Lizard.

ing the inevitable safer. Adjusting the citys street lights to increase visibility would: 1. Reduce the number of late-night accidents, brawls, and assaults 2. Deter outrageous parties, making them more manageable for students and more visible for police 3. Provide a clear path so that students have an easier time navigating their way home 4. Allow cars to drive without the constant anxiety of running into a jay-walker 5. Give women a new confidence if they happen to get stuck walking home alone 6. Illuminate the general surroundings to that people dont feel like walking targets 7. Allow people to see in case they actually are a walking target and should be preparing to defend themselves/find help Drunken brawls and jay-walking college kids are never going to go away lets at least be able to see them and make their walk home a safe one.

New columns this issue include Frat Raiders where you have to guess the frat room from the photo. I can almost smell the old beer (tasty) and old socks (not so tasty) from looking at the photos. CU is finally going to have a magazine for the students. Advertisers and students (me included) agree it is about time for something exciting for us to read in class. Especially those hour long lectures that seem to never end. This is the last issue before August, when I expand to 7,000 copies and launch the September/Back to School issue on August 20th. Keep an eye out for the new advertising director around Boulder. You will recognize him by his sharp suit, extensive knowledge of Boulder print advertising (over 12 years) and his enthusiasm for Boulder Today. Best, Daniel Kennedy CEO and Owner

There will be a pull off on the right side of the road; you will want to park your mode of transportation there. You have made it to the beginning of an exciting adventure into the world below the earth. Once you park, the beginning of the adventure starts at a trail on the west end of the pull off that heads up the mountain. The main trail has many less travelled paths steaming out from it, and a number of them that you follow will take you to one of several entrances, about 150 ft above. The short but grueling climb up a number of rocks and more forks in the path may warrant a smoke break if you have anyone in your group partakes. After a short break continuing east up the mountain will eventually take to you one the entrances. From there make sure you have a headlamp and jeans on, gloves arent a bad idea either.

I decided to stop by yesterday to grab an Old Fashioned (a cocktail made by muddling dissolved sugar with bitters then adding alcohol, such as whiskey with a twist of citrus rind) and to check out one of my favorite happy hour spots. The mussels, hot olives, pinchon moruno (Chicken and lamb skewers) and my favorite cocktail were the perfect combination for the evening. The girl I took out to dine with was very pleased with her meal as well and though we ended up paying a bit extra for drinks after happy hour was over, it was all well worth our while.

Chemical smell causes brief evacuation of south wing of CU Engineering Center

A chemical smell caused the brief evacuation of the south wing of the University of Colorado Boulders Engineering Center at about 10 a.m. today. There was no explosion, injuries or damage, according to Brandon Boger, associate director of CU-Boulders Environmental Health and Safety department. About 100 students were let back into the building at about 10:50 a.m.
Boulder Today www.TheBoulderToday.com

A student researcher was using a sulphur-based chemical within a glove box, a contained box in which experiments are conducted, when some of the fumes evaporated into the lab, Boger said. Because the chemical, thiol, smells like natural gas, a fire alarm was then pulled as is standard procedure in any suspected chemical spill. The leak did not cause any hazardous conditions within the lab. -CU Boulder

Whenever I think Mimosa, I imagine grimy trip hoppy dubstep that makes the crowd go nuts. However, there was not much to see or hear in this performance. Tigran Mkhitaryans show was disappointing with a small side of musical monotony. Coming from a previous fan, Mimosas live DJ skills have much room for improvement and or possibly more of a rhythmic sound to his new material. Maybe it was the speakers or the acoustic setting of Red Rocks but his sounds were very hard to distinguish.

Downsizing to the elite four, Mike Rempel and the rest of the gang from Lotus jammed the stadium with an even more visually stunning light show than their last. When the sun had set and the crowd was good and pumped, the anticipated headliner, Glitch Mob, took the stage with style. Smoke, deep purple lights and haunting music played while the hooded band members made way to their almost spaceship like podiums. Playing late into the night, The Glitch Mob ended with a four song encore packed with girls hanging from sheets, lights and a bass heavy remix of the White Stripes.

I recently had the misadventure of attracting a twenty one year old male virgin. At the time, I was only mildly interested in him but as a bit of a lush, Im easily lured anywhere with free booze.

Each weekend (Thursday, Friday, and Saturday) Half Fast offers half off all food and drink after 11:45pm. The deal serves as the perfect start to any weekend

A trip off the beaten path in Colorados most offbeat town. Despite what experience dictates, there is a lot more to Boulder than boozing, outdoor activities and lighting flaming bags of dog poo on President Bensons doormat. Boulder is home to an amazing array of interests, which in turn spawn some amazingly odd happenings. For example, weve only just started to hit our summer stride and have already hosted a tree rave (see: Gemini), a juggling festival and God knows how many LARP battles. But these events are just a sampling of the obscure gatherings our town has to offer. Problem is, unless youre a level 50 battle-jester with a penchant for party drugs (I can only assume one would follow the other), odds are you wont so much as hear about these fascinating little goings on, let alone find out what theyre all about. Thats where I come in. As Boulder Todays Obscurnalist, Ill be checking out the outliers. Ill write about what its like to, say, glitter dance a Ke$ha show, spend a day on Pearl with the silver man or tie one on with Ralphie after a win. But really, I want to know what you want to read about. Thats why Ill be taking suggestions for anything you think would be hilarious/strange/foolish enough to take on via email at obscurnalist@gmail.com. Just try to keep it legal. As neat as it would be to referee a monkey knife fight, I promised myself I aint goin back to jail for nobody. But otherwise, lets get weird.

Whether you two are getting freaky in the sheets or sharing dirty secrets over a cup of coffee, you will be relieved to find that when you have a special someone to share your time with, life is just that much more thrilling.

Find a Purpose Get a job or volunteer. With this is mind, find a job that you have a general interest in. The

experience you will attain just from going out and trying something new will at least give you a better sense of your interests. I.E. If you dont like picking up dog poop now, then you will never like picking up dog poop, and therefore, should never be a professional pooper-scooper. Yes, you get

When your job doesnt work out or you feel that a herd of buffaloes just plowed over your parade, it may be an advantage disguised as a jinx. Summer is prime exploration time to try another job more in tune with your passions, to take the camping trip with your buds, or to read up on the Boulder Today and find out whats going down on the Hill or Campus. Sometimes major setbacks are the only cues for better replacements. It would not be lecturing, but inspiring to say that we could all use a little more exploration, in all its wondrous forms.

A big middle finger

BY RAY CHILEN

ID LIKE TO RAISE A NICE, long middle finger to the U.S. legal system. With all the crap going on with the Casey Anthony trial these days, I cant help but wonder what the system is really useful for anymore. Here in Boulder kids have MIPs coming out their ears, and you cant smoke a joint without having to duck out when a cop rolls by. Meanwhile, crazy people are drowning their daughters, not reporting them missing, and still getting off as innocent. WTF. And in other news, I have been told that there are more U.S. citizens behind bars than in school. Wow. Great job U.S. legal system, you guys rock!

Boulder Today
more news more Party more Photos
Boulder Today is rapidly becoming the #1 magazine for students. We launched Boulder today in 2010 with the goal of creating a publication to represent the students at the University of Colorado at Boulder. We blend more news, more partying and more photos of students. We are different from the Rooster which is a lifestyle and a party magazine. We are different from the Colorado Daily which is only a news publication. We decided to bring together the best of both worlds to create Boulder Today. We feel the 31,000 CU students are ready for a magazine to call their own.
