The Christmas tree is dead and buried, the relatives are gone and you’re feeling a little blue thinking you’ll be stuck in your home until the weather warms. However, there’s still plenty to entertain you even if you don’t ski. Here’s a look at some interesting events to entertain you during our coldest month of the year.
Sunday 1/4/2009: “On All Fours” benefits one of Colorado Springs more interesting sports teams, The 
Pikes Peak Derby Dames which is a roller derby league (yes, the derby still exists). These 60 women are unpaid and have to raise funds to continue their hitting and skating. The benefit is at Phantom Canyon Brewery Co. from 6-10 pm and will feature the dames in a fashion show along with an art show of the Derby Dames during their games. Two comedians will also keep you laughing. All of this for only $25 which goes to support their traveling teams, costumes (yes, fishnet stockings are still worn), and the rental fees for City Auditorium where they play. Call 719-387-7212 for more info.
Monday 1/5/2009: Pioneers Museum is continuing the exhibit: Pikes Peak Or Bust which runs through September 5, 2009. As always its free. Read the rest of this entry »
