Downtown Boulder, BMOCA, Twitter PR women, Hill Biz association Irresponsibly promote alcohol events
Feb 25th
Boulder Colorado is huge drinking community. It tops every drinking and party list that comes out. Boulder also has a high level of alcohol related diseases especially alcoholism, mental illness and domestic violence
Last week a media campaign begun by the PR women at Downtown Boulder, on Twitter and at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art are pushing an alcohol driven event called “Best Mixologist”
” The 2nd annual contest stirs up talent throughout Downtown Boulder as select mixologists compete for the audience vote on the best cocktail!Savor, critique, and vote for the most inventive cocktails prepared by an elite group of downtown Boulder’s drink masters. Attendee votes decide the winner who along with bragging rights – will possess the KidRobot custom designed trophy until the 2013 competition. Tickets: $45/advance | $50/door Ticket Price Includes: Access to the event, a commemorative shot glass, samples of every mixologists drink…….” http://c1n.tv/boulderchannel1/category/news/scene/
This is essentially a huge drinking event with absolutely no merit. It promotes alcoholism, alcohol abuse, irresponsible drinking, drunk driving everything Boulder has been fighting for decades. They are promoting addictive behavior. It’s a wonder they don’t have a vodka inflatable outside BMOCA. The city discourages alcohol banners and inflatables promoting alcohol.
BMOCA is supposed to be an art museum, but it is notorious for having drunken parties and this on Best Mixologist is the worst .
Up on the Hill a local Toco shop is trying to turn itself into a late night drinking hole. City councilman Macon Cowles has been trying to get the cops to show stats which relates drinking to crime on the hill. That is a given, but the city is casting a harsh eye on any more drinking establishments on the hill. We shall see. I don’t have much faith.
Boulder has two more super liquor stores opening this year. So the city is hypocritical when it comes to addressing alcoholism.
I think Downtown boulders behavior is outrageous and in extreme poor tastes by promoting young women to become alcoholics. Downtown boulder turned Band on the Bricks into a drunk fest of beer and made it less of a family event. They don’t come anymore.
BMOCA should be ashamed of themselves too. What kind of fucking art museum is this?? Holding a Coyote Ugly event?? That belongs in a bar. Why didn’t BMOCA promote a Best Barista event instead?
What is the most troubling is that Best Mixologist is the brain child of young Boulder PR women at Downtown Boulder and on Twitter. These are the wine and martini girls who ( all they talk about is drinking ) who are pushing more drinking in our community. Shame on them.

U.C. Davis cops up violence in Occupy movement: 2nd Amendment rights
Nov 21st
If the cops pulled this crap in black Oakland they would have gotten their asses kicked. It would have been war. Guns would have come out. Black and Hispanic gangsters in Cali don’t have any problem shooting back at police. It happens daily. Will the kinship between students and gangsters evolve into armed warfare with the police? Gandhi not prevailing it is headed that way. Incidents like this upped the violence. It will make students rethink non-violence. It will give radical more violent protesters a reason to start throwing rocks, bringing their own batons or guns.
Interesting , the 2nd amendment allows for armed militias to fight back at an unjust government. It is in the American constitution. Though the left militias usually don’t carry guns, sooner or later some one of them is going to trip over the 2nd amendment and start shooting back.
What those idiot cops did and what their idiot spokesperson said was a declaration of war on peaceful students on all American campuses. It is happening again. If the police, the university and the local government represent the interests of corrupt bankers, by not allowing civil protests, camp ins etc, we may see a stepped up response by student protesters.
This situation has made it dangerous for every decent police officer in America. Firing the UC Davis police department should help. American kids have access to guns unlike their counterparts in North Africa. This situation could turn very ugly. Protesters could start shooting back at police next time. It is not the 1960’s as some have been lulled into thinking. America is more violent.
Who are the police anyway? The black panthers figured that out. When the police started beating up and shooting people in the inner city, the Panthers brought guns. The Panthers evolved into The Bloods and Crips who still shoot back. There is an understanding between cops and gangsters. Violence. When will that develop in the Occupy movement? I’d say, right about now. What happened in Davis, in fact what is happening to occupy protesters all over this country is bullshit. Let them protest. Let them camp in parks. Who the fuck care? They are not hurting anybody. But the cops really fucked up this time and they should be put on notice…..go looking for a gun fight, you’re gonna find one.
This is where the right and left… tea party and occupy will jell. Tea Party members know all about guns. If those two groups come together, look for armed revolution.

Now in Boulder the police and city are smart enough and professional enough that they would never ever get caught up in trying to bust up peaceful protests. congrats.
Mountain Bikers I find myself agreeing again with Macon Cowles. He seems to be smarting up as he ages. I do ride a Mountain Bike. At 65 I go easy, but from my auto racing days on dirt I still know how to put a few moves on the kids in a corner. But cyclists have a tendency to be rude and run people off bike paths and trails. So they need to take their fast bikes out in the woods where walkers, strollers, hikers, moms kids and seniors won’t get run over.
Marijuana I do think the entire medical marijuana con should be turned into legalized pot sold in liquor stores. It should be controlled, packaged, taxed to beat all hell and let it fund Medicare. What other drugs are out there that are popular? Coke? Heroin? Legalize them too. Tax em and finance health care and social security. Lets legalize prostitution too. Fuck it. Just legalize and control all vice. Tax vice and fund treatment. That will essentially eliminate big crime and we as a country can get on with living. I mean what the hey, drug sales, prostitution are huge in America. The are not going away and we are losing 100s of billions in tax revenues. Leave the morality to the churches, treatment to the Docs and decriminalize all of this bullshit.
