Courtesy: Criterion Collection Remakes may feel like the name of the game these days, but it’s always been like this. What’s changed is the availability of the original. Saw How to Train Your Dragon in theaters? Watch the animated version on Peacock today! Kids loved Lilo & Stitch? Show them the better version on Disney+ as you drive home! That component wasn’t always the case.

The fastest road route between Nashville to Pinedale, Wyoming, spans just over 1,500 miles. That’s about a day’s worth of driving — up through Kentucky and Missouri, nearly kissing the northeast corner of Kansas, before heading west across the length of Nebraska and breaking into the Cowboy State. Maya de Vitry is nearly to her destination, where she’s set to play a Fourth of July show. But she’s in no rush and happily recalls most of those miles while taking a breather in Laramie.

Courtesy: Saw the Musical Breaking news: New York City has exported its trash to Boulder. Not in bags—on stage. That garbage is Saw the Musical: The Unauthorized Parody of Saw, now running at the Dairy Arts Center through July 27. This joyless national tour of the Off-Broadway misfire takes one of horror’s most infamous franchises and turns it into a two-hour fever dream of inept humor and worse songs. Who is this for? Let’s start with the obvious: this show doesn’t know who it’s for.

The following changes were approved by a majority of council members in informal polling and will be brought back for formal adoption at a later date: 5:30 p.m. start time for open comment.

Lafayette resident Cameron Parker, center, will represent Colorado in the National Civics Bee later this year. Courtesy: City of Lafayette On July 1, council: Instructed staff to craft ballot language asking voters to approve a 20-year property tax increase to fund the construction of a new civic center and the renovation and expansion of the Bob L. Burger Recreation Center and the Parks and Public Works Service Center.

The plan comes after the agency cut hundreds of jobs earlier this year. The Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA), which operates at Colorado State University, will also be eliminated.

Duh. It’s Phish. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you already know the iconic jam band is taking over the People’s Republic for a three-night run at CU Boulder’s Folsom Field. But did you know tickets are still available? And that we have tons of Phish pre- and after-parties listed in our event calendar. Whether you’re a die-hard Phan or just curious what all the commotion is about, this is going to be a weekend for the history books. See listing for details.
