http://www.igetzit.com/tag/boulder.rssI really enjoy running into John Krakauer.
I don't have many celeb encounters. In fact, one of my guilty pleasures is reading In Touch magazine (for the Sudoku, of course, as US doesn't have the games) and watching horrible reality TV (think The Hills). So, as you can imagine, when I do happen to stumble upon someone that I consider to be a celebrity, I usually don't have the most profound things to say.
My first run-in with Mr. Krakauer was at Brandon and Kate's wedding last summer. I have to admit that once I noticed him, I would randomly check in on what he was doing from across the room - while we were having dinner, listening to speeches, dancing, etc. I wasn't stalking him, I was just waiting for the right time to approach him and tell him how much I enjoyed Into Thin Air.
Sure - like that was going to be something original he had never heard before.

At least on 4/20 I was. I was busy planting some flowers in our new flower boxes that I put out on the porch and even thought about making a trip to Bed, Bath and Beyond. "I don't know - I don't know if we'll have enough time."
While I was being domestic, just 2 miles from our house on the CU Campus, the largest 4/20 celebration in the US was in progress with more than 10,000 people in attendance and no arrests. That's pretty impressive.
The Daily Camera, Boulder's local paper has a fun article and had a reporter on site:

Yesterday I was hiking and getting sunburned (after being in the sun all weekend) and today it's snowing. All Colorado needs now is an ocean and life will be perfect.
