Where Can You Find 25 Cowgirls Dancing On A Bus?
June 21st, 2010 Categories: Boulder Subdivisions and Neighborhoods, Colorado Round Up
Billy Banjo’s Bus Tours, of course! So, let me tell you what I partook in last evening. It all began in Boulder Colorado where a group of good friends decided to do a customized bus tour (with a cowgirl theme no less). Dressed to the nine;, we were decked out in boots, rodeo shirts, big-buckled belts, and cowgirl hats! Even Banjo Billy had on his chaps as he drove us downtown to Pearl Street and up to Chatauqua. Now, if you’ve never seen or heard of this bus, you have to have to realize that this is not your average tour bus. And if you’re a group of twenty five cowgirls, get ready to whoop, yeehaw, dance, and party your way around town. You’ve got to read more.

April 4th, 2010 Categories: Boulder Subdivisions and Neighborhoods, Focus on Boulder, Relocating
Looking for entertainment tonight or this week in Boulder County Colorado? Do you love to dance, listen to music, drink famous beer, and eat yummy food? Well, look no further than the all-famous Oskar Blues in either Longmont or Lyons. One of my favorite attributes of the brewery is the live music. Of course, many visitors love the beer including the all-famous Dales Pale Ale, which was voted one of the quintessential American hoppy pale ales of our time by BeerAdvocate.com. The intimate, 100-person capacity of the beloved juke joint gets you up close with the best musicians in Colorado and the United States. No wonder Rolling Stone Magazine called them the hottest place to be on a Saturday night in Colorado. Read what Oskar Blues has to say about themselves.
