Jeffco Crew #056 - Comedy Fest, Bacon & Emergency Life Skills

🏔️ Crew Bits

A lot of stuff I come across isn't necessarily an event. I also get all kinds of tips and insights from ya'll which could find their way here.

We've got dates for the newly-local Sundance Film Festival, which will take place January 21-31, 2027 in Boulder, it's first time in Colorado after moving from Park City, Utah. Should be a spectacle!

Blucifer's First Rodeo, a fully artist-led music festival has leaked that it'll take place this summer along South Broadway in venues like Bar 404, Hi-Dive, HQ, Seventh Circle, Skylark, Sputnik, Ten Penny, and Wax Trax.

Stay safe out there. 🔥 Fire risk is high these days. Thorton put out a grass fire yesterday, and Jeffco Sheriffs & Fire is addressing a wildfire about 30min north of Golden right now.
