Six Boulder reporters join Boulder Channel 1 News blog
Jul 31st
Boulder Channel 1 News blog has really taken off these past two months. First Ron Baird, former Colorado Daily reporter and assistant editor joined us back in June. Ron is our news editor. He over sees all the news releases which comes into our virtual news room. He posts approximately 2-5 news stories a day.
Donna Marek writes approximately 3 to 5 stories a week. She joined us in July as our Boulder Cultural affairs editor. Donna is a longtime Boulder reporter, talk show host and film maker. She worked for the Daily Camera and Denver Post.
Rob Smoke covers politics in the city and county. He was a Daily Camera reporter and can be seen weekly at boulder city council meetings.
Seth Brigham is a Boulder writer and talk show host. Seth is known as a Boulder gadfly and often finds himself making the news more than he writes about it.
Jon Graham writes about “Tech”. He has worked for Boulder Channel 1 for 20 years. He worked for Bell labs and the University of Colorado. He begins writing for BC1 news this month.
Band on Bricks opens season with Smash: Paper Bird
Jun 27th
Several thousand people were on hand last night on the Pearl Street mall for the first Wednesday night Band on the Bricks concert of the summer. Paper Bird was frivolous, fun and mildly entertaining in a goofy kind of way. Not to be taken seriously as musicians ( they couldn’t play) but they did spin their way through several folky, blue grassy, 1940’s original tunes. Their focus is to “send up”, make fun of and insult musical forms especially blue grass. Thusly, they are called underground.
Basically they were a bunch bums from Breckenridge( or at least they met in Breck according to their website) who formed a terrible garage band around 3 cute girls who managed to harmonize and Walla! a real authentic American underground band .
