The hills are alive with the sound of you getting off your ass and doing things.
The hills are alive with the sound of you getting off your ass and doing things. And here are 20 of those things you can do in Colorado this month.
1. Try Ben & Jerry’s Cookie-Core Ice Cream
Since Ben & Jerry are still waiting for weed to become federally legal so they can make their cannabis ice cream, they had to make a cookie core ice cream instead.
2. Play a game of Lazer Tag at Chippers Lanes
Nothing is more fun than running in the dark while shooting lasers at your co-workers and acting out the trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
3. Go to Comic Con in Denver, May 23-25 (Colorado Convention Center)
Not officially part of the Comic-Con in San Diego, this fan convention is just as satisfying for all the pop culture comic fans out there.
4. Go to The Upslope Get Down/Music, Beer, Food in Boulder, May 16
Celebrating American Craft Beer week (May 11-17), Upslope is hosting their second annual music festival with beer, music, food trucks and Illegal Pete’s.
5. Brewery Yoga at Fort Collins Brewery
Stretch it out and drink beer like you deserve it. Every Sunday, Fort Collins Brewery offers up yoga classes, beer and bloodies for the semi-motivated. Looks like we're going to have to bust out the Upward-Facing Drunk Dude pose again.
6. Go to Rockies vs. Giants in Denver, May 22nd @ 6:10pm
The World Series isn’t until October, but it’s important to track our wins (or losses) against last year’s champions.
7. Run (or watch) the Bolder Boulder, May 25
It’s Memorial Day and nothing celebrates the memory of those who served more than running/jogging/walking "America’s All-time Best 10K."
8. Download the Beerbuddy app
It’s what you always wanted from your best friend but in an app. Scan the barcode on your beer and get all the information you need for making the right choice.
9. Download the Weber Grill app
Because you can’t grill for shit. Weber is here to help.
10. Download the Funny or Die weather app
Because weather is boring and you need some humor in your life.
11. Read Rapper’s Delight Cookbook
We think the Tiramisu Elliot and Snoop Stroganoff sound pretty delectable. The illustrations and rapper-inspired meals make this cookbook delightful.
12. Read A Freewheelin’ Time by Suze Rotolo
The former ex-girlfriend of Bob Dylan writes about her time living in New York City in the sixties with her late beau. Can someone pass the acid, please?
13. Eat at these restaurants, bucko
Rollingreens, Boulder
Try the Jalapeno Poppers — you won’t regret it. You can find their version of tater tots, millet tots, at Lucky’s Market and Alfalfa’s.
Mile High Lobster Shack, Fort Collins
You need lobster, so we recommend the Lobster Roll for all you people who think you know Lobster Rolls.
Amore Pizza, Denver
May we suggest the Brooklyn which consists of meatball, bacon, onion, and cheese. They offer a one-topping pizza for $3, which is practically unheard of in the food truck world.
14. Erase your memory at these spots
JL in Boulder
Offering fire and snow, you have your pick between whiskey, gin or vodka. At the Rooster, we enjoy the vodka.
Feisty in Fort Collins
We recommend the Cinnamon-Flavored Whiskey if you’re trying to have a night.
Mile High Spirits in Denver
Warning: most of their drinks are doubles and they make a mean Moscow Mule.
15. Visit Trail Ridge Road, Rocky Mountain National Park, May 22nd
It’s the highest continuous paved road in the United States and it’s in our state. Closed for the winter, Trail Ridge Road opens just in time to celebrate Rocky Mountain National Park’s centennial anniversary.
16. Make Champagne Ice Cubes
Unlike H20 that waters down your mimosa as they melt, these ice cubes will only get you drunker. Pour champagne into an ice tray and wait ‘til frozen.
17. Brunch here or die trying
The Rainbow Restaurant in Fort Collins
We recommend the Huevos Rancheros, but you really can’t go wrong with anything on their breakfast menu.
Aji in Boulder
We recommend the Chili Chilaquiles Steak and Eggs to accompany your Sangria.
The Lobby in Denver
Get a big group together and get your fill of Bottomless Mimosas served to you in towers.
18. Listen to Zedd “True Colors” May 19th
With only two songs available from his new album, Zedd seems to be staying true to his style which might explain the name of his album/tour/website.
19. Listen to A$AP Rocky “At.Long.Last.A$AP.” May 12th
At last. A$AP Rocky’s highly anticipated album is hitting stores with collaborations featuring Danger Mouse, Juicy J and FKA Twigs.
20. Become a Breakfast Defector at Taco Bell
Your arteries say no, but your taste buds say yes. Let yourself go this month and instead of eating T-Bell at 3 a.m., opt to start your day off with it … what could go wrong?
