Thanks for all the advice!
I spent a day (literally) in Boulder moving the friend in to do his job and then flew out of Denver. I got a decent lay of the land that way. He's right next to the university and like 5mins from Pearl street at the place they have him.
I spent a good lot of time trying to find a decent hotel and everything is booked for atleast one or two of the days of the week i want to be there at the end of the month. All kinds of local events.
I eventually gave up on Boulder-proper and i'm sort of nearby (it didn't seem like a far drive and the maps say 20mins) at the Westin Westminster.
I figure if i have his car while he's at work i'll be okay.
Anyone been to this hotel? Like it, hate it?
I'm thinking about adding a few days to the trip so we can watch Wall-E together the day it opens in theaters. Silly, but i tend to be a slightly silly person.
