Out Boulder is Bringing Back the Barn Dance!
Tickets are going Fast! |
|---|
Read a guest blog by Glenda Russell about the Barn Dances in the 1970's put on by the Gay Liberation Front called,'Dancing as a Revolutionary Act'
"...then came Stonewall in 1969. Within a year, Gay Liberation Front was an official CU student group-only it was a student group that included many members of the broader Boulder community as well as CU students. GLF-as it was most frequently known-took on the task of hosting dances at a ranch north of Boulder. These dances at Hidden Valley Ranch were held in - you guessed it - a barn. The dances had live bands and beer. Soon, each dance attracted hundreds of people, not just from Boulder and Denver but from throughout northern Colorado."
The date for the new Barn Dance is Saturday night, June 11th, from 6 to 10 pm, at the Altona Grange, 39th and Nelson Road. The main attraction is Giddyup Kitty, a great women's bluegrass band and beer from the Pumphouse!
Plan to dress to impress with your Western finest, and boot scoot on down to the Grange! Barn Dance 2011 |

Bent Lens Cinema and Boulder County AIDS Project Present: "We Were Here"
This Friday, June 3rd 6:30pm at the Canyon Theater - Boulder Public Library (9th and Canyon, Boulder)
|
|---|
An official selection of the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, "We Were Here" is the first documentary to take a deep and reflective look back at the arrival and impact of AIDS in the U.S., using San Francisco as the backdrop. Though a San Francisco-based story, We Were Here extends beyond San Francisco and beyond AIDS itself. It speaks to our capacity as individuals to rise to the occasion, and to the incredible power of a community coming together with love, compassion, and determination.
"'We Were Here' is absolutely electrifying" - Armistead Maupin
"Stunned by 'We Were Here.' Beyond powerful, yet ends in a message of hope & humanity. Stupendously moving." Shawn Levy, The Oregonian
