Free shows with regional bands start in June
The free shows featuring regional bands begin in June around northern Colorado.
The Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority is still in the process of figuring out the lineup of shows because construction on the Oak Street Plaza has forced a temporary move to another Old Town location.
Also this year, Centerra joins the concert mix with shows at the complex at the junction of Interstate 25 and U.S. 34 in Loveland. A schedule was not available at press time.
Also in Loveland, popular series such as the Foote Lagoon concerts and Tunes At Noon return this year.

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)
We call it insight, you call it what you will. | |

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
