Thanks to the Sundance Film Festival for hosting a community information session at eTown Hall last week so people could learn more about its 2027 arrival.
Quote for the month
... to be you is to be a guardian of not just your own soul, but the souls of those who mistakenly think their own lives would be better if you would be someone other than who you are.
-Colorado poet laureate and Boulder County resident, Andrea Gibson. May their memory continue guiding us toward courageous love for ourselves and others.
What I'm reading/listening to
More local impacts of federal policy changes, and a new executive order encourages cities to eschew data and build mental institutions instead of homes for people experiencing homelessness.
