Stevie Ray Vaughan in Steamboat Springs, 1981 ?

A few years ago I kicked around the idea of a Steamboat Springs Linux Users Group. The domain I purchased for this project has sat quite dormant until just recently, some other Linux users in the Steamboat area have shown some interest. So, here it is.. finally.. The Steamboat Springs Linux Users Group. If you a Steamboat Springs local and a Linux geek also. please visit and create your login.

Just an FYI that the recording of the free concert of The Greyboys is on the brand spanking new COtapers.org tracker.

The Steamboat Ski Area has announced the lineup for 2009’s Bud Light Rocks the Boat free winter concert series. All concerts are free and are at the Gondola Square base area. Shows start at 3 p.m., except for a 7 p.m. performance by Citizen Cope.
