Is Boulder a good base for freelance writing?
HH: It’s terrible! There’s far too much temptation here to go outside and play. At the same time, I’m constantly inspired by my neighbors who use their lives and work to do so much good. Some of the scientists who contributed to the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore last year, are based in Boulder. As are some photographers and filmmakers who have risked their lives to document these changes. Heather Hansen will discuss and sign her book in Denver at the Tattered Cover (LoDo) on May 28 (7:30 p.m.), in Boulder on May 31 at Patagonia (4:30-6:30 p.m.) and at Border’s on June 7 (5:30 p.m.), and in Portland at Powell’s on July 17 (7:30 p.m.).
