Looks like I will be spending a few days in Fort Collins CO. What are the highlights? Any shops, bars, studios, music stores or other must see sights in the area? I've been to Boulder and Denver but never Fort Collins. Any suggestions? How about places to eat as well?
Thanks.

Somehow I totally missed this, I hope you haven't been yet.
Head downtown - lots happening there on any given evening.
I head to Big City Burrito, just south of downtown, when I'm looking for a bite.
There an OK drum shop downtown, too. I'm not sure about any of the other music shops...the other independents seem to have closed in the wake of GC moving in.
Bill Stevenson's Blasting Room is probably the most notable studio, I'm not sure whether they're open to visitors or not.

TheScum, there used to be a big "5-Star" drum shop in FC, wasn't there? Or am I mistaken? I was only out there once...

Yeah, that's the one downtown.
I don't know what sort of shape it's in these days - it's been a year or more since I was in there. Lots of Exports and Rockstars last I recall. I think GC put the squeeze on 'em. I don't know if they're still 5-star or not.
I also live in Denver, about a mile from Drum City, so I don't go out of my way from drum shops much these days.
