Anyone here remember Three Fisted Lullabye? (Original Post) BluesRunTheGame Aug 2020 OP
No, and I lived in Colorado, not Boulder yet, during the 80s and 90s. Laffy Kat Aug 2020 #1
Yeah. I saw them a few times around Boulder when I lived there in the 80's. BluesRunTheGame Aug 2020 #2
I know. I was living in Denver, Capitol Hill area, during that time. Laffy Kat Aug 2020 #3
I saw a few shows in Denver. It definitely had a good scene. BluesRunTheGame Aug 2020 #4

Yes! Most everyone in my bracket--and I was a medical secretary--could afford a place of their own. Laffy Kat Aug 2020 #7

Moved to Boulder County in the early 2000s. Do you like their music?

The music scene at that time was pretty good.

I lived on the same block as the Mercury Cafe for several years. They had some interesting events.

When I think back what amazes me most is how cheap it was to live.

When I moved to Boulder in 1982 I lived in a place on Broadway across from CU. Shared the place with two other guys. We paid $50.00 apiece per month. I could get by really well doing odd jobs.

I paid $450 a month for a darling apartment in an old Victorian in Capitol Hill, across the alley from the Molly Brown House. My oldest son, an EMT, is almost 27 and is just now renting his own place with two other guys; he could never afford to live by himself. He works hard 40 hours a week and I will still have to help him with grocery money. How far we have fallen.
