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 second floor for the night.
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.
