Boulder is very much a lifestyle town. People spend a lot of time outdoors. They support local music (the Fox Theater is one of the top venues in the country and Red Rocks, one of the most popular outdoor venues in the world, is about 40 minutes away. We’ve got some top restaurants here, too.

The 70.3 went really well, posting a race review in a few minutes. So much fun.

A great place to live.

Of course, if you are in town and want to check it out, drop me a line, would be a pleasure to show you around. – micah [at] lijit [dot] com. – @micah

ps. congrats on the 1/2 Iron Man- saw your brother’s tweets over the weekend

There’s a creek running through town, with a path alongside, so you can connect to nature immediately. People fish, float down the creek on inner tubes, and kayak. The mountains are within 10 minutes to 1 1/2 hours depending on where you want to go.

But at the same time, Boulder has global resources — a university, a number of government research agencies, lots of cultural activities, plus access to what Denver has. There are world-class people both living here and visiting, so there are lots of potential stimulating interactions.

Housing costs are affordable compared to SF and NYC. They are a bit more than some other Colorado cities, but not necessarily more than other places in Colorado with similar lifestyles.

Andrew talks about all the tech interaction and it’s pretty much non-stop. There are multiple opportunities to see people working at local coffee spots; there are networking groups morning, noon, and evening; and there are many impromptu get-togethers and Tweetups.

Nope. It’s all developers. There’s no one else. No one else enjoys a vibrant, healthy, smart, progressive community with beautiful scenery, tons of outdoor recreation, and 300 days of sunshine with low humidity, 30 minutes from skiing, 30 minutes from Denver, 45 minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park, and 5 minutes in every direction from the nearest micro brewery.

Thank God I’m a developer.
