As long as the thunderstorms stay away, we should have a beautiful evening tonight in Golden. The moon is near full, and we’re having one of those extra-large “super moons” this month. The moon will rise at 6:18 PM, so we’ll be able to watch it emerge from behind South Table Mountain during Music and Movies in the Park. The music, an a cappella vocal group called Face, will begin at 7. The movie, Men in Black, will begin as soon as it’s dark enough–about 8:30.
Another alternative would be the “Murder, Mayhem, and Madness” tour, which starts at 8PM from the Visitors Center (10th & Washington). The tour guide, Joel Chirhart, really knows his Golden history. This isn’t so much a ghost tour as a series of tales about murders, shootings, and lynchings that took place back in Golden’s “wild west” days. (I’ll be taking the tour tonight, for the third time, because I have house guests who want to go!)
The Jazzcats will be playing 1950s-style jazz tonight at the Windy Saddle Cafe from 6 to 8.
