Curb Cup

If you’ve been around downtown Boise, you’ve likely seen the posters.  If you’re active in the Twitterverse, you’ve probably heard the chatter.  But what exactly is Curb Cup you ask?  Well, from the source:

On Sunday, August 30, much of Downtown Boise will be a stage – where entertainment and performance all come to life on our streets and sidewalks.

Destined to be a must-attend, gotta-participate annual signature event for our community, the inaugural Curb Cup will feature hundreds of performers and thousands of voter attendees…all in one great circus of creativity in the heart of our city. It’s all free. It’s all fun. And, it’s all to celebrate who we are, where we live, and how we express ourselves.

Curb Cup

Boise’s Inaugural Curb Cup will take place on Sunday, August 30th from 2pm – 4pm in the streets of downtown Boise.  It features over $3,000 in prizes, including $1,000 First Prize.

And, if you’d like to register to perform, you still have time.  Registration is open until August 25th.

Beer and Blog

What is it, you’re wondering?  In a nutshell:

Beer and Blog is a weekly meet up based on bloggers helping bloggers over beers. It was started by Justin Kistner in Portland, OR in January of 2008.

And yes, it’s happening in Boise too.

You blog?

You drink beer?

You want to hang out with folks who do?

Come to the Front Doorevery Friday between 5:00 – 6:30PM to geek out, get help with your blog, launch a new product, bounce an idea off other geeks, or just kick off the weekend with a couple beers. There is no set agenda, no speaker, no program, just ad hoc, beer-bathed bloggery.

This is a long-overdue addition to the events calendar.

Art Bike

Boise Bicycle ProjectThe Boise Bicycle Project is presenting ART BIKE as a part of the First Thursday festivities for August in Downtown Boise. From the folks at the Boise Bicycle Project:

On Thursday August 6th 13th, Boise Bicycle Project presents ART BIKE at the Modern Hotel in the Linen District. Over 20 bicycles painted by local artists will be sold through live auction. Participants will enjoy music by Ned Evett and food & beverage will be available. Biking is encouraged, and valet service will be offered. Those who use the valet will be entered in a drawing for prizes. This event runs from 5 to 10 pm, and costumes are encouraged but not required. Contact the Boise Bicycle Project at boisebicycleproject@gmail.com for questions.

This should be a good opportunity to see the work of local artists on a unique canvas, and listen to the tunes from an excellent musician.

UPDATE: Weather has forced this event to be rescheduled from August 6th to August 13th.
