The long story

Built in 1901 in the historic Whittier neighborhood, our Georgian-vernacular house sits halfway up a bluff and has fabulous southern light and excellent Flatiron views. There are hardwood floors throughout and a well-equipped kitchen with an island, granite surfaces, cherry cabinets, dishwasher, glass-top electric stove and stainless-steel fridge. A microwave is in the basement. The living room has a sofa bed that sleeps 2 and an upright Steinway piano. The dining room table seats 6 comfortably or 8 with a bit of squeezing. The 3/4 downstairs bathroom has a European glass shower and high-efficiency front-loading washer and condensing dryer. The cozy study has 2 desks, a built-in bookcase, and, if you like, a printer, 23" 1080p HD monitor, and adjustable standing-desk converter. A twin bed can be added in place of one desk.

• Upstairs, the large bedroom has a double (full) bed and a lovely view of the Flatirons year-round. An adjoining dressing/TV room has a 40" 4K Ultra HD TV (no cable or satellite) and Blu-ray/DVD player. The small bedroom upstairs has a twin bed and desk. A second twin bed can be added to this room. The upstairs bathroom has a combo shower/deep-soak tub with a European glass surround and a luxurious steam shower with two fold-down seats for extended steaming. 
• Wi-Fi download speeds are 40 Mbps. Our furniture has been well used by children and dogs and has some dings. If you have a strong allergy to dogs, this may not be the house for you, as some traces of dog hair and dander will persist even after deep cleaning.
• A roomy flagstone patio with a deck has a picnic table, seating for 16, and Flatiron views from fall to spring. The front porch also has seasonal Flatiron views. Our small yard has low-maintenance xeriscaping.
• The house was the home of the poet Allen Ginsberg when he founded the School for Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University.
• Renter is responsible for snow removal and minor upkeep like occasional watering of plants and installing window ACs (if wanted).
• Absolutely no smoking or vaping of any substance anywhere in the house or on the property. Pot edibles and drinkables are fine, but processing of pot is not.
• Security deposit is $5,000. Sabbatical rentals are exempt from Boulder permit requirements.
• Distances on foot: 7 minutes to Pearl Street, 15 minutes to Pearl Street walking mall, 10 minutes to Natural Grocers, 5 minutes to Whittier Elementary School, 12 minutes to Casey Middle School, 20 minutes to Boulder High, 25 minutes to CU. Mountain trails start 1 mile to the west.
• Owner pays internet/Wi-Fi and trash/recycling/compost. Renter pays gas, electricity and water. No smoking or vaping allowed anywhere on the property. Minor upkeep like watering plants and shoveling snow required.

The TEDxCU 2025 speaker application is now open! It closes on Oct. 13. If you or anyone you know has an idea worth spreading, please pass this along and encourage them to apply. All speakers selected will work with a professional speaker coach starting in November leading up to the event.

This year’s event is Saturday, April 5. TEDxCU students chose “Anomaly” as the 2025 theme.

Anomaly

In a world governed by norms and standards, anomalies disrupt the expected patterns, challenging our perceptions and pushing the boundaries of what we consider "normal." But what if anomalies are not to be feared? What if they hold the keys to innovation, progress and deeper understanding? What happens when anomalies become the norm?

Talks at TEDxCU 2025 should enable our audience to delve into the world of anomalies. From the smallest quirks to the grandest deviations, your talk should explore how these outliers shape our reality, redefine our perspectives, and inspire us to think beyond convention. Whether in science, technology, art or society, anomalies invite us to question, to wonder and to embrace the unknown. They remind us that true progress often emerges from the fringes, where anomalies thrive, and possibilities abound. We aim to unravel the mysteries of anomalies and discover the profound lessons they offer our community.

CU is home to one of the nation's oldest and most respected zero waste programs in the country. Volunteer at a Buffs football game with Ralphie’s Green Stampede to be a part of the excitement on game day. 

We need your help to guide fans on how to compost and recycle more effectively! Folsom Field strives for zero waste on game day, therefore our volunteers are crucial to the success of our program. Last season we had over 240 hours of volunteer service, diverting over 100,000 pounds of waste from the landfill. 

If being a part of Ralphie’s Green Stampede interests you, click here to sign up for the next game and be part of the game day action! 

Volunteers help educate fans on recycling and composting best practices, sorting recycling bins and assisting when bags are full. Volunteers will get an RGS T-shirt, access to the game and a meal voucher. No prior knowledge is required; gloves and training are provided. 

This year, Ralphie’s Green Stampede won the GameDay Football Zero Waste Touchdown Challenge for having the highest recycling per capita collected at one single game (2023).

Help keep our waste streams clean by volunteering to be a zero waste goalie at one of our upcoming games. For questions email green.stampede@colorado.edu
