Bryce Crawford and I are leaving shortly for the Great American Beer Festival , but I wanted to post a couple of quick food/drink-related notes before I go.
First, I discovered an awesome new policy at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center Theatre Company last night, during the preview of Assassins: incoming performing arts director Scott RC Levy has now allowed drinks to be carried into the theater.

It's a brilliant move (one that makes you wonder why it wasn't allowed up until now) that should boost drink sales for the FAC. I greatly enjoyed sipping on a scotch throughout the show last night, rather than having to quickly down something during intermission.
A second quick update related in part to the FAC: chef Bill Sherman of Amuzé at the FAC says that his other culinary initiative planned for Palmer Lake, The Flying Pig, has been delayed again.
Sherman says he's now awaiting a pre-opening inspection, but "we are finally close."
