It's always a crowded mess of people who look too cool to be alive and functioning in the not-so-seemingly indie land of Boulder, or Denver... or Morrison. I'd like to know where these hipsters crawl out from. There must be deep dark caves full of them in the hills of Morrison and the Foothills. I'm sure I'll have much to say about this on a later date. Possibly an encounter with one of the cave-dwellers awaits me. In the mean time, take a pre-Thanksgiving Champion to mind.
