Denver/Boulder type and design scene

James Puckett

I am considering moving away from New York. What’s the design and type scene like in the Denver/Boulder area?

Rick Griffith, reason enough.

James Puckett

Oh wow, I forgot about Rick. That guy passes on creativity by osmosis.

Jay Nelson who writes design tools monthly lives in Boulder and loves it! I could put you in touch with him, I'm certain he knows the design scene . . .

James Montalbano

James, if you leave the city before you put in a full 7 years, they'll never mail you your official "NYC Discount Bagel and Hotdog Card".

Just saying.

If you like hanging out around letterpress guys, Rick Griffith and Jason Wedekind are awesome guys. If it matters, Denver has a notoriously bad food scene. Not to mention a lousy hockey team.

Nick Shinn

Is a physical professional scene really necessary in this day and age?
If you have family or a partner who can relate to your interests (and vice versa), is that enough?
I get by in the boonies with the virtual scene, the Mrs, and the occasional conference.
But I also have some other interests (squash, mainly) which provide a real local social scene.

James Todd

As someone who lives out in the boonies, even with a partner, it can still get old (and boring), after a little while (perhaps I’m more isolated than you).

There are times when one misses the opportunities (and the food), available in more populated – even if rent is cheaper out here.
