Heading to Denver 9/1-9/5

**Peruvian** · 08-22-2018, 10:40 AM

Dropping of my daughter at DU so we will be pretty booked, but I don't want to miss out if something really cool is happening. Any festivals or events going on? Anyone have suggestions for places to eat, things to do while in town? We will be back plenty over the next 4 years so this is more specific to this Labor Day weekend vs. touristy things we can do later.

Phish DICKS!
Seriously, best outdoor venue I’ve ever been to. And Phish absolutely kills it there.
Go see Phish in Colorado. It rules hard.

More importantly... How old is your daughter?

**adrenalated** · 08-22-2018, 10:56 AM

There is a shitty hippy band playing in a shitty venue if you're into that.

**Shredhead** · 08-22-2018, 12:29 PM

CU vs CSU at Mile High 9/2.

Sight lines and sound, nothing comes close. Modern facility with a shit-ton of concessions and beer and bathrooms. Place rocks.
You guys are jaded. Commerce City is what it is, a weird place on the edge of the plains with views of the mountains. But DICKS, yeah that place rules.

**The SnowShow** · 08-22-2018, 08:08 PM

Dicks is waaaay better than Red Rocks and the Gorge. #fuckingdelusional

Red Rocks is small and steep. The gorge is in Washington. You guys are out of your element. 60 Dead shows with Jerry, almost all Brent era. 55 Phish shows since ‘91. I’ve been to many, many venues. DICKS is the shit. Huge floor, I mean huge! Massive dance party.
Go on now

This is only supporting evidence that you're a moron.

**Soups** · 08-22-2018, 08:34 PM

I don't think anyone is shitting on dicks, Phish has been great there. But your comment is fucking retarded, its a generic soccer stadium.

Wait in the car.

**muted** · 08-22-2018, 08:40 PM

That place is in nobody's top ten, never mind #1. I've been to the greek theater, gorge, and red rocks. All impressive. Hollywood Bowl in LA? Hope to go soon. Dick's? Yeah, on everyone's bucket list because it has lotsa concessions, and sight lines? It's a fucking soccer stadium, of course it does.

Take a lap, don't come back.

**Peruvian** · 08-22-2018, 08:45 PM

To bring this side bar to a close, there’s no fucking way I’m going to Dicks to see Phish.

What else is going on in town?

**buttahflake** · 08-22-2018, 09:00 PM

Thread sucks, Colorado sucks.
DICKS rules!
The Shakedown alone is worth the trip.
Dick Punches all around, go on now.

**pow_pow~** · 08-22-2018, 09:04 PM

What kind of beer do you like to drink? And what kind of food you interested in? Denver's food scene ain't got nothing on the Coasts, but my drunk ass thinks you're from SLC in which case -- Denver's got the goods.
