    Default Crazy Colorado History Lesson #1

    Anyone ever heard of the Frozen Dead Guy festival that they hold every March in the Nederlands? Yeah, I didn't know either. Here is a short wiki article about this event.

    Here are some pictures of it.

    Yup. I went skiing one weekend at Eldora and they were having the festival. Pretty cool too, to bad Nederland is pretty much Boulder 2.0.

    Eh. My 20-something nephew thinks it's really cool. I think it's stupid.

    All Ned has to offer is a decaying corpse around which to construct a festival? Really?
