We were downtown this morning, having a coffee. Yes, it is noticeably more peopley now. University classes start tomorrow, and everybody has assumed their positions, it seems.
Speaking of crowds, yesterday was [Tour de Fat] at New Belgium brewery. It's basically a HUGE bicycle parade followed by a big bash at the brewery. It's free, so everybody and their grandma goes. We missed the bike parade, but did go by in the afternoon just to look around.
Everybody seemed to be having a good time, and I surmised that it's pretty hard to get very drunk at the event since the beer lines were so loooooooong. But there's live music and games and weird bicycles to ride at your own risk.
From past events, I wasn't sure if we'd even have a decent spot to park our bicycles, but we managed to squeeze in the massive parking field
This past week was also opening week of classes at the community college.

So far, what is most looked forward to this fall is free coffee at Ziggi's and super pretzels with cheese. 👍
ReplyDeleteFree Coffee ... AND Super Pretzels, I'm 'in'. *Winks*
Right? Who would say "no"?
DeleteWe had a local fete here but we didn't go, being a seaside town parking is impossible for anything like this, unless you're a very early worm! Free coffee sounds good, would that be just the first few days?
ReplyDeleteOnly bikes or feet are allowed at Tour de Fat, otherwise parking would be impossible. The freebie coffee is a one-day shot - use it or lose it!
DeleteFree coffee sounds good. Pretzels I love 🥨 yum.
ReplyDeleteGood to have semester goals!
DeleteWho doesn't like free coffee and other goodies?? Great way to start the year. I taught in a private prep high school with a boarding population and campus. I remember how much fun beginning of the year was ( retired for 12 years now)
ReplyDeleteAnything free is worth getting excited about right now!
ReplyDeleteFree coffee. How nice!
