Boulder Fall Fest and Artists
Sep 27th
A Perfect Day for Everything
Boulder, Colorado, Sunday, September 26, 2010: No one could ask for a more perfect day! Totally blue skies and sunny. I, along with throngs of people, took to the downtown Pearl Street Mall to wander the Fall Fest. It seemed a bit too early for it given the high temperatures making it more like summer than fall. But afterward I headed to meet friends for happy hour snacks at the Hotel St. Julien and the Brasserie 1010.
While scoping out the event, I met several artists of one type or another including an absolutely fantastic acrylic artist Ruth Meere and her Fun Lovin Art, whimsical children’s art.
Meere said, “This was my best show yet!” She said friends had art in their children’s rooms but they weren’t “children’s art” and she began painting.
Some of her work is seen here in some of my candid photos on Sunday, September 26.
3-D artist Liz Miller was on hand also. Here is her 3-D detailed painting Noah’s Ark.
Other artists I’d like to mention are grand photographer Tim Brown of Salida, whose soft water images are amazing. And Lest Studio artist Yelena Sickorova of Denver who paints on silk has some defnite Russian flaire in her paintings of women and Prague. Her husband is also an artist.
Every Fall Fest has its amusement rides, games and what not. This event had a rubber slide as you can see. However, a tiny voice from behind the top curtain kept saying,
“I’m not doing it. I’m afraid. I’m not doing it. I’m afraid.” His parents didn’t climb up and bring him down. If he were my child, I would have hugged the little one and slid down the slide with him. I hope he’s not still up there because he wasn’t coming down! Ever!
Where’s the Beef? Boulder’s Farmer’s Market, high prices and all, was a bit amusing on Saturday. I happened to see a friend who goes there to buy “beef.” He asked me, “What are you here for?” “Dried pasta! Lots of different flavors,” I said. “Is it good!” he asked. “Good for a year! I collect it!” Ahh! We’re such Boulderites! buying our “green” tomatoes and such!
“Hello! Little Boy! Are you still hiding behind the curtain! on that slide!

Riding with The King – In A Police Car
Sept. 24, 2010
Just sent in my app for the Boulder Police Dept’s “Ride Along” program. If they accept me this will be the first time I’ll be in a Police car without the cuff’s on.
I think this is a very cool program. I mean, it’s not everyday you can actually “ride along” with an On-Duty Police Officer. That means if there’s a call for a cop and my officer is nearby – I could be first on the scene. This poses all kinds of excitement and fear. Here’s my list of things I hope I get to be in on. And things I hope to avoid.
Excitement:
Arresting a city politician for any reason. Like chewing gum too loudly.
Cat up a tree. I wanna see if BPD saw Steve Martin’s Roxanne and just opens a can of cat food at the base of the tree.
I’ll be able to count how many times we stop for coffee and doughnuts.
CU Campus food riot.
Report of woman mowing lawn naked.
Fear:
Report of a man mowing lawn naked.
Fatal auto accident.
Riot at Boulder County Jail.
Osama Bin Laden spotted at Mustard’s Last Stand.
A routine background check on a speeder turns up an old warrant on me.
If they accept me I promise a full report. In return if they arrest me and I need bail money – you promise to ante up!
More to come…
