Introducing PINNACLE
I invite you to explore my new Pinnacle Collection. In creating Pinnacle, I was inspired by the intensity of the trillion cut Tanzanite and the notion of pairing this beautiful color with cascading diamonds. I am proud that our gemstones are responsibly sourced and conict free. I hope you are inspired by the possibility.

ithout a doubt, one of the most attractive things about considering a move to Boulder, from the Midwest, was the abundance of awesome music that comes through the area.

As a daily scroller of the headlines on jambands.com, it seemed like anytime there was an epic collaboration, or rare supergroup playing a handful of intimate gigs, Boulder was a likely tour stop. After living in Boulder for almost five years, it has become easy to get spoiled with all the options. While living in Kansas City, going to see great bluegrass or jam bands usually meant a one-hour commute there and back to Lawrence, Kansas.

While I enjoy nothing more than being home with my wife and four kids, sometimes you just have to get out and go to a show! Earlier this year, it was announced that founding Grateful Dead members, Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, and Bill Kreutzmann joined by John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge, and Jeff Chimenti (Dead and Company) would be returning to Folsom Field for two nights this summer. As a huge dead-head, you can imagine how pumped I was when I saw that the shows fell over the weekend of my 40th birthday. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and we hope you enjoy reading this issue as much as we enjoyed putting it together. Certainly, a pleasure to have so many incredible local guys involved.

DENVER’S NEWEST AUDI DEALER ON THE DENVER-BOULDER TURNPIKE With a history of four decades in the city, the Audi Boulder dealership is expanding into Broomfield. Construction is just months away from being complete on the 4.5acre site near the intersection of Northwest Parkway and Via Varra, just north of Hwy 36 and the Flatiron Crossing Mall.
“Spring is my favorite season of the year because of the versatility of ingredients we get to use such as English peas, fava beans, carrots, asparagus,” says Parrett. "We work with some amazing local purveyors like Villano Brothers, Star Farms, Palizzi Farm, Rocky Mountain Fresh, and Mountain Man Micro. The new menu is meant to showcase the incredible bounty of Boulder, Colorado, pairing it with the freshest seasonal catches from the coasts.” A native of Nokomis, Florida, Parrett grew up fishing in the Gulf and learned to cook by helping his mom prepare their daily catch. “As a kid, we’d go fishing four or five times a week, and every night my mom would cook a big homemade meal for us. She was my inspiration to become a chef—bringing us all together, making something delicious, and staying so calm the whole time. I wanted to be in my element, the same way she was in the kitchen.” While the cuisine in South Florida incorporates various Caribbean elements and tropical ingredients, Parrett prefers to use the best of what-

2017. The new dealership is dubbed Audi Flatirons and will be known as such moving forward. The dealership has been in Boulder since 1973 when Adolf Stammler opened it as “Stammler Audi.” Kuni Automotive bought the dealership in 2013 when Stammler retired. It was renamed Audi Boulder at that time, and Watson, who grew up in Boulder and was the original GeneralManager, now General Manager, was promoted to run the operation. He will oversee both the new Audi Flatirons site in addition to the existing Boulder site. Kuni, now an enterprise of Holman Automotive, has four other dealerships in Colorado, including a Lexus dealerships in Greenwood Village, a Honda dealership in Centennial and a Land Rover dealership in Littleton. The new dealership is being built just south of the Hyatt House hotel that sits at the southwest corner of Via Varra and West Midway Boulevard. The main public entrance for Audi Flatirons will be off of West Midway Watson said Audi Boulder employs 60 people. Some of those people will be moved to the Broomfield site, which is expected to employ 70 to 100 people, depending on how quickly the dealership grows, with some backfill hiring to occur in Boulder.

and the care of our planet. “During the Festival, writers inspire and stimulate each other while the audience gets to listen in to their conversations about relevant topics,” says Jessie Friedman executive director for Zee JLF at Boulder. “These are genuine discussions rather than a performance. We are effectively allowing the audience in the U.S. to experience what’s on the minds of people throughout the world, bringing new perspectives and insights.” Specific themes at Zee JLF at Boulder 2017 will include migration, U.S. gun culture, nature and the environment, Native American rights, yoga/meditation, outdoors-adventure, feminism, constitutions, LGBT, Latino, African American and Native American voices. In its 10th year, the Zee Jaipur Literature Festival in India is the world’s largest free literature festival, drawing some 500,000 people to Diggi Palace in the Rajasthani capital this past January. The festival serves as a beacon of free speech around the world, giving rise to more than 200 other literature festivals, both in India and other countries. Dubbed “the greatest literary show on Earth,” JLF successfully expanded to London in 2014, and selected Boulder as its only U.S. location in 2015. Voted the U.S.’s brainiest (more Ph.D.’s per capita than any other US city) happiest and foodiest city, the Festival was wildly successful in its first two years in Boulder. Festival organizers expect more than 10,000 people to attend this year from throughout the country and around the world. “Boulder is the perfect host city to explore new ideas, and debate contentious issues from race and religion to history and philosophy,” said Sanjoy Roy, Festival Producer. “We were delighted with the success of the past two years and look forward to another exciting Festival in September.” Zee JLF at Boulder takes place at the at the Main Boulder Public Library, 1001 Arapahoe Ave. A week of pre-events will be held at the Main Boulder Public Library and other locations. There is no admission fee, but attendees must register. For more information, confirmed speakers, and registration, visit JaipurLiteratureFestival.org.

UNLACING THE PROCESS WITH FOUNDER VINCE ROMANO:
Firstly, our boots are manufactured entirely in Boulder, Colorado. The style of construction we use is called stitchdown; it’s very popular in Italy. The first step is cutting the leather, it’s then marked for sewing lines, and sewing begins. Every aspect of the boot is customized so eyelets, thread color, sole, vamp style, etc. are all things that have to be paid close attention to. From there it is lasted, almost entirely hand lasted. Then bottoming, where the shanks for support, midsole, outsole and heels are TRUMAN BOOT CO.

BOULDER BUILDS AN INSIDE LOOK AT A BOULDER SPEC HOME AND ADVICE FROM FANAS ARCHITECTURE.
I
ARTICLE MARLEY JERANKO | PHOTOGRAPHY ZACHARY CORNWELL PHOTOGRAPHY
f you’ve recently strolled down the streets of any given Boulder neighborhood, you’ve likely taken notice of all the rebuilt and redesigned homes on the rise. Perhaps you’ve even considered how you could get in on this trend. Sure, flipping homes seems like all fun and games if you’re a HGTV show with a bottomless budget, but when it comes to
Boulder, there’s truth when it comes to its reputation. That’s where Elizabeth Smith offers some constructive criticism. Literally. As one of the architects of Fanas Architecture that worked on the Meadow Lawn Park residence, Smith explains that, “Anytime you do a spec home, you’re not talking to the owner in terms of what they want, you’re trying to figure out what the market wants so that they can get the best profit margin when they sell it. “For this project, we were looking to hit on what we were observing was in high demand in the current market— open-concept main living area, an indoor/outdoor space with a large upper floor deck, large covered backyard patio, firepit and barbeque, and an upscale, contemporary feel with enough space for people to have their own areas, without feeling separated from those they’re living with.” Other features for the 5-bedroom home include a study, one-car garage, exposed interior ceiling beams, modern kitchen, walk-in pantry, full window wall opening to a great room area, updated basement with access to the backyard, a bedroom, family room and laundry room. She adds, “The existing house held little appeal, but the property boasted a large site in a desirable and up and coming neighborhood. [The buyer] understood that with the right vision and the right team, the property would be a solid investment and hired Fanas Architecture to help him realize the home’s ultimate potential.” Of course, clarifying that vision was only the first feat. Between the energy codes and solar compatibility, to name a few, Boulder is brimming with rules and regulations. To meet Boulder standards, the Meadow Lawn Park residence incorporates solar compatibility and windows for egress to meet current code, and adheres to height, bulk plane and site coverage limitations. Smith advises potential buyers to be mindful before jumping the gun. “Regardless of who you are, even if you’re just trying to buy a home in Boulder and re-do it yourself, before you do anything, before you spend money on property, go into the city, sit down with a planner and find out what all the rules are for that property,” she says. “If you don’t know what the rules are and get all excited about a home you think you can build on this lot, you may end up disappointed and out of luck financially if you’ve gone ahead and bought it and you’re not able to do what you wanted to do.” The best way to do that is give them the address, and they can pull up everything on that lot and tell you exactly what the rules will be. Smith adds, “They’ll be happy to give that information out because they’re the ones who will be reviewing the property later to make sure it adheres to these rules.” It’s a win-win. Here are several questions Smith recommends checking off your list: What would I be allowed to do or not do? Is it in the floodplain? What would my height limit be? What would my step-max be? Are there any easements that run through the property that will prevent me from building on certain parts of the lot? Ultimately, the market is still strong in Boulder, so if buyers are careful where they select and aware of what they’re getting into, spec houses are sure to have a strong presence going forward. 40

Guidance “I highly recommend your selection of David to be your builder. Such selection early in the process will enable him to provide input into the design, and manifest his construction experience to help you achieve a smoother, more accurately and holistically planned and executed construction project.” -Boulder Architect
Trust “We are in the process of building our dream home and have added many complicated elements to the project along the way. David, and Ellis Construction, have been very easy to work with throughout the project. Whenever we have asked them to research complicated details for the project i.e. an elevator, photovoltaic solar system required by Boulder County, fire suppression system and outdoor fireplace, he has thoroughly researched the items and provided us with thoughtful, high value solutions. David has shown professionalism and dedication to respecting our budget throughout the project and the addition of our extra work. I would not hesitate to recommend Ellis Construction; they are an honest, dependable and reliable builder.” -Boulder Clients, New Home
Relationship “As we come to the end of our “project”, I’d like to reflect on the process of not only building a home, but also developing a relationship of appreciation, mutual respect & continuous support & understanding with our builder. We believe this relationship, along with, his level of knowledge in the field was key in creating an atmosphere where superior workmanship stands out. Our home is GORGEOUS!” -Boulder/Michigan Clients, 2nd Home Remodel
Quality “We had worked with other builders initially (and had to fire them for poor work and poor communication) before finding David and it was night and day. Building a house is a tremendously complex process where there are constant choices to be made by the owner and if the builder can’t effectively explain those choices in a timely manner and also layout the overall itinerary of the build, it can go badly and be more expensive in the end.” -Boulder Clients, New Home
Value “We hired David Ellis to add a second story to our home and to update the existing space. We were very pleased with the quality of work and high level of professionalism from Ellis Construction. At the outset, David went well beyond the other prospective builders in doing due diligence on the house in order to present very realistic costs and time frame. The six-month construction project was completed on time and on budget.” -Boulder Clients, Renovation
The Difference “If you join forces with this reputable builder, you should have a pleasurable and successful outcome and be ensured that there will be no shortcuts or big charge variations. I always felt Ellis Construction was looking out for my best interest and getting the job done swiftly and correctly and treated me like family. I couldn’t be more sincere in my recommendation.” -Boulder Client, New Home

Ace of Space THE STUDIO (BOULDER) IS BUILDING A CREATIVE COMMUNITY INSIDE AN INSPIRED WORKSPACE.
C
o-founder Bill Goodrich describes his collection of shared workspaces as
“an office for people who don’t work in an office. It’s a workshop for people who don’t have a workshop. And, it’s an art studio for artists who generate creativity from interaction, not just solo reflection.” A truly unique space, The Studio (Boulder) was designed with an industrial chic mindset by artist and fellow Co-founder Jen Lewin.
ARTICLE JULIA DE LA ROCHE PHOTOGRAPHY REBECCA SCHWAGER
Lewin and Goodrich connected on a previous project years before hatching the idea for The Studio (Boulder), and together they discovered a need for a collaborative workspace. They wanted a place that would simultaneously allow for focused work as well as the opportunity to be a part of the greater community. “One great aspect of The Studio is that it doesn’t cater to one group of individuals,” says Goodrich. “Who wants to be around a bunch of people doing the exact same thing they’re doing? People come here to work, but they come here for much more.” One member of The Studio, Lisa McAlister, owns a boutique PR and Marketing agency that needed a home. “I meet with clients on a regular basis and needed a professional space to do that in that also fits my style versus a stuffy, rented conference room,” says McAlister. “I keep fairly regular office hours and always start my day with a cup of coffee from our awesome coffee maker. I catch up with co-workers that are around in our communal kitchen and then get to work. I am sometimes in and out to meet with clients or they come here for coffee and meetings. I have a private office so when we are really

FULL CYCLE IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL BIKER BAR. ONE OF BOULDER’S FAVORITE BIKE SHOPS ADDS A BAR AND CAFÉ. ARTICLE JESSI HACKETT | PHOTOGRAPHY HOLLY RAE ESTROW
W
alking into the Full Cycle in Boulder on the corner of Pearl and 18th St., it’s suddenly unclear if you’re walking into the neighbor-
hood bike shop or the neighborhood bar. One side of the space is lined with bikes, gear and mechanics wrenching on equipment at a service station. Along the other side and near the front, is a brand-new bar top that sits over 15 people, with 16 taps, and a handful of large, high top tables. This was Russel Chandler’s vision since buying Full Cycle in 2016. “Our goal is to establish the Full Cycle bar and café as the community hub for group rides, bicycling events, fundraising, coaching, clinics and maintenance classes,” says Chandler. This spring, the renovation added a bar and café to the bike and service shop. Chandler hopes the newly remodeled digs can be a general hangout for folks wanting to pop in for a beer or glass of wine after a ride or grab a quick coffee and panini mid-day. “It’s also somewhat of an attempt to combat online shopping,” says Chandler. “We want to make it easy and welcoming for everyone to just come on in.” Full Cycle started in 1982 with humble beginnings in a garage under a different owner. Today, there is the Pearl Street location and the location on the hill, both owned by Chandler and his business partner, Ed Kuh.

explains Chandler. While ‘Cyclists for Community’ is not affiliated with Full Cycle, Chandler says it was that background and involvement that got him into the bike industry. “The Boulder bike community is one of the best in the world,” he says. “We want to make it easy for the whole community, not just certain kinds of cyclists or racers, to make biking an integral part of their lifestyle.

THREE REASONS TO DRINK BEER AS A CYCLIST (like you need any)
01 They used to drink during the Tour de France From 1900 – 1960, riders participating in the Tour de France commonly drank alcohol during the race itself. Don't believe us? During the 17th stage of the 1935 Tour, nearly the entire peloton took a break to booze with locals. Julien Moineau, the rider who didn’t stop for the beer wound up winning the stage by several minutes. 02 Drink it for the health benefits of alcohol Moderate alcohol consumption is linked to a large variety of health benefits.

cy just to name a few. Moderation is key. So go ahead and enjoy that cold beer after a great summer ride. Workshop in the back.
03 Beer is the ultimate post-ride reward If you need a little encouragement to ride faster, longer and better, beer will do the trick. Nothing will taste better when you’re tired, sweaty and hot. Plus, recent research shows that up to 660 ml of beer does not dehydrate you, so there’s no need to worry even if you’re training for a race. Cheers!

The process of making these images is incredibly time-consuming as it depends on the physical location of the marine animals, with one image often taking days on the water to create. The couple’s incredible effort has been worth it, however, as it has generated the type of conversation Smith was initially hoping for, prompting comments from a diverse body of people, widening one another’s horizons and educating each other. Smith’s love for his work is apparent, both in the time he commits to making images and the excitement he has for what he does. “I feel so lucky to be able to tie so many things I care about together, and to go on so many wild adventures!" Smith travels extensively for his artistic work, something that inspires endless exploration, creativity and joy. 68

or us, lighting the grill is a year-round occurrence. But, we know nothing defines summer more than the sight, sound,
smell and taste of a perfectly grilled steak. It is the essential dish of the season for its simplicity. All cooks should be comfortable preparing a grilled steak from start to finish: from purchasing premium quality meat to finishing off with the perfect season-
ing. The rest of the meal can easily be built on this foundation, including grilled veggies, fresh salad and sides. FEATURED CUT: BAVETTE
While most home cooks are comfortable shopping for steaks that have been popularized over many years, like New York Strip and Filet Mignon, we at Blackbelly recommend an “under-theradar” butcher cut: dry-aged Bavette. This “bistro cut” is more commonly consumed in France and it is a “thin” steak, that falls within the category of flap meat. The steak comes from the belly of the cow as an extension of the T-bone and Porterhouse. The Bavette is composed of the visceral muscles that assist the vitals. They help the vitals work but are not the tough weight bearing muscles. So, the consistency that forms within the meat provides a perfect intermuscular marbling, instead of a fat cap, making it super tender and juicy throughout. FROM THE BUTCHER:
• Ask your butcher what flap meat they have on hand, and what would be best for the grill. Hot, dry heat is recommended. If it’s a rainy summer night, and you don’t want to bear the elements, it can be cooked in a very hot pan. • The Bavette is great for large parties since you don’t have to grill individual steaks to order. Instead, you can cook carne asada, or serve slices of meat buffet style. • The Bavette can also be called “Sirloin Flap.” The other three visceral muscles, aka flap steaks, are: skirt, flank and hanger, and can be cooked in a similar fashion. FROM THE CHEF:
“I love the Bavette because of its great flavor, muscle structure, ease of grilling, minimal sinew, and general consistency. It’s always an amazing, affordable and flavorful cut.” -Chef Hosea Rosenberg Follow a few easy tips to cook the perfect steak:
• Make sure the grill is clean and scraped, lightly oil it before cooking. • Remove the steak from the refrigerator 1-2 hours before cooking. • Season simply and generously with salt & pepper 15 minutes before cooking. • Cook, so it’s not too far past medium rare, at a VERY high temperature. Turn once, flip, then turn once more. Don’t move it around any further. • Make sure to let your steak rest for half the time it cooks. When slicing, remember to cut across the grain to achieve slices that are tender, not chewy.

One part Jim Morrison (at least in the signage), one part Montreal and all parts delicious, Canada (or at least some Canadian fare) has found a new home in Boulder. I’m an East Coast gal. Bagels, pizza, and toasted subs top my list of “downhome” chow. Montreal bagels are categorized by three criteria: hand-rolled, boiled in honey water and wood-fire roasted. These processes give the bagel a somewhat irregular shape, a sweeter flavor and a crispier texture.

“BY CREATING AN INVITING COMMUNITY-FOCUSED EXPERIENCE WE FILL EMOTIONAL NEEDS BEYOND HUNGER.” -FOUNDER & OWNER DAVID BOWEN
84
Boulder Lifestyle | June 2017
Hailing from the Toronto fine-dining scene, Founder and Owner David Bowen recognizes that the experience is just as much of a selling point as is the food offering. Hospitality abounds as hand-rolled and handcrafted bagels, spreads and sandwiches are prepared to perfection and tailored to each customer. “By creating an inviting community-focused experience we fill emotional needs beyond hunger,” Bowen tells me in between guest interactions during a busy afternoon at Woodgrain. In a somewhat new stage of life (parenting), David remarks that after many years and long hours in food service, he is ready for more time with his family including his three young sons. “I spent many years working while my friends socialized and started families,” he explains. As we finish our interview, he mentions to me excitedly how today, in fact, he is hoping to see one of his sons practice soccer before heading home. Menu items include breakfast fare that ranges from a bagel with whipped cream cheese to a Huevos Rancheros Sandwich to a Boulder favorite, avocado toast (on a bagel). Later-in-the-day items include lunch-type sandwiches packed between two halves of, you guessed it, a bagel. I order the Mile High Rueben, a New York deli-style staple that Bowen admiringly dubs “the six napkin sandwich.” It doesn’t take long for me to figure out that he’s not kidding: this is the Godzilla, the Henry VIII, the Cersei Lannister of sandwiches. If you’re not too intimidated, try it with a side of real, Canadian poutine. “ The guest experience is paramount to any retail/foodservice operation,” Bowen explains as we conclude our interview. The food offerings coupled with the warm, inviting decor present through every aspect of the Woodgrain experience lead me to believe that we haven’t seen the last of David Bowen’s culinary prowess.

SKY VAN HORN, OWNER & LEAD COACH OF ELEMENT 6 SPORTS MEDICINE ACUPUNCTURE AND FITNESS STUDIO, SHOWS US PHASE THREE OF HIS WORKOUT SERIES.
Wow, this month’s workout gets to the core. Not all movement protocols need to take a long time or require equipment. Our intention is to give you a deeper look into how to keep your health and fitness moving forward even in difficult and busy times. Our programming is specific and efficient and will only take you 15 minutes to complete. This is the third installment of your 15-minute workout to complete during your week which consists of four sections of specific movements and rep schemes. This month our focus is your core! This is by far the favorite, and it's not just your typical core work. This workout will be about creating a dynamic core that is integrated into a whole body approach. You may be sore in other places other than your abs. If this happens, good job! You did this work out correctly! **What's most important is to have fun, focus on your breath and your form (never sacrifice this, ever!), take breaks as often as you need to, stay hydrated, and as you get stronger, you can always pick up the pace and take fewer breaks. 92
