In Boulder, Jessica, Stephanie and Francoise made restaurant research a blast. Rachel Dowd proved an excellent driver, copilot, sandwichmaker and keen observer. Virtual craft beers go out to Chris and Greg for their many contributions, and to the Pitts for a home away from home. Greg Benchwick Special thanks to my friend and commissioning editor Suki, as well as my co-authors and the rest of the LP team. A special thanks to Brent Weakley for helping me with the Denver gay bar write-up, and to my sister, Cara, my Mom we ll just call her Mom and my big baby girl Violeta for helping me research this book. Your support, companionship and love are bottomless, selfless and truly inspiring. Christopher Pitts Huge thanks to co-authors Carolyn and Greg for the tips, connections and all-around sage words of advice and special thanks to Carolyn in particular for house-sitting not one but two houses in our summer of absence. Thanks also to editor extraordinaire Suki for coordinating the whole project. On the road, big thank yous to Cigdem in Glenwood for the inside scoop on the Roaring Fork Valley, Betsy and her lovely family for a delicious homecooked meal and the lowdown on Carbondale, and the Brutel famille in Colorado Springs for putting us up for a night (and for the best cakes this side of the Atlantic). And finally, love to my dearest partners in crime: Perrine, Elliot and Céleste.
