How the day shakes out.
So. Are you in?
The deets.
The hike
1:30 to 3:30pm
We will meet outside the ranger hut next to the parking lot.
Chautauqua Park
900 Baseline Rd, Boulder, CO 80302
Get directions →
Parking: Chautauqua lot or street parking on Baseline. The lot fills up - get there a few minutes early. Paid parking in summer; bring a card or use ParkMobile.
What to bring: Water, sunscreen, a hat, real shoes. Boulder weather has opinions; layers don't hurt.
If hiking sounds like a punishment, skip it. We'll see you at Rembrandt Yard at 5.
Evening celebration
5:00 to 10:00pm
Rembrandt Yard, an art gallery a block off Pearl Street with floor-to-ceiling windows and Flatirons views. We’ve taken over the third floor for the night, which is the most agency thing we've done all year.
Rembrandt Yard
1301 Spruce St, Boulder, CO 80302
Get directions →
From Chautauqua: ~10 minutes by car, ~25 by bike, ~45 on foot if you're feeling ambitious.
Parking: Spruce Street garage at 1104 Spruce is closest. Street parking around Pearl is metered until 6pm, free after.
Dress code: Business casual - don't overthink it.
Hard stop: 10:00pm. The venue means it.
Shape of the night: doors open at 5 with passed apps and drinks. Food stations open around 6:30 - eat at your own pace, no assigned seats. Around 7:45, Pete will say a few words. There's a video, there's a thing with the Golden Boot, there's trivia. Group photo at 9:15. Lights up at 10.
The room will be full of people you haven't seen in a while. Wear something you can hug in.
Coming from out of town?
Hotel Boulderado is the most efficient option - License No. 1 is in the basement, Pearl Street is two blocks away, and you can roll out of the after-party directly into bed. Limelight Boulder (newer, on The Hill near campus) and St Julien Hotel & Spa (upscale, near Pearl) are also walkable.
Email Tena if you want specific recommendations: tolson@greenhousepartners.com.
After-party
10:00pm onward
Two stops, all walkable from Rembrandt Yard, all opt-in. A self-selecting test of how committed you are.
Stop 1 - Avanti Food & Beverage
1401 Pearl St, Boulder, CO 80302
Get directions →
Open until 11:00pm - ~1 block from Rembrandt Yard
Rooftop, multiple bars, food hall vibes. The "one more drink, then I'm really going home" stop.
Stop 2 - License No. 1
2115 13th St, Boulder, CO 80302 (under Hotel Boulderado)
Get directions →
Open until midnight - ~5 min walk from Avanti
Basement speakeasy in a 1909 hotel. Quieter, lower lighting, dramatically better for telling someone what you really thought about a project they ran in 2014.
