The leg was heavier than she anticipated, and with every step, Kawachi felt like she was sinking lower and lower into the ground.“Over the years, I definitely realized I needed to up my arm strength because I wanted to be helpful,” said Kawachi, who started at Blackbelly in 2016 and is now head butcher.Then, there’s the fact that she is a woman in a world dominated by men. Customers often assume she’s a male when they ask for the manager, said Ethan Perry, who works for Kawachi as her lead butcher at the Boulder restaurant. “You don’t meet a lot of female butchers.”BOULDER, CO – SEPTEMBER 27: Butchers Andy Becker, left, and Kelly Kawachi take a 120 lbs half-carcass of a hog out of the cooler to prepare and cut the meat at Blackbelly on September 27, 2023 in Boulder, Colorado.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:13:33 GMT

Coloradans are struggling to find the updated COVID-19 vaccine, as the supply remains tight both here and nationwide.Alisa Thomas, of Denver, said it was vital for her family to get the latest shots because her husband has a compromised immune system and their teenage son has a chronic lung disease and had to be hospitalized the last time he got COVID-19.Thomas said she tried nearby Walgreens and CVS locations this weekend, but couldn’t get in. King Soopers had appointments, but isn’t in her family’s insurance network, so she would have had to pay $180 out of pocket for each dose. After two days of searching, she finally found appointments at Safeway for her two children on Monday evening.Their family isn’t the only one struggling to find the shots, Thomas said. On her neighborhood Facebook group, people trade tips about where doses might be available, though often the supply runs out before anyone who sees the tip can act on it, she said.“It’s cr...

A THIRST for Phonk

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:13:33 GMT

A THIRST for Phonk: Phonk project THIRST was formed on vacation.“Omer, Aaro, Roy, and I (Craig) started THIRST when we were on a 1-week vacation in Haifa,” they say. “We were taking it easy – we caught waves on the Mediterranean, had a few gin & tonics here and there, some whiskies on ice, some ice-cold beers, and a ton of falafels. It was such a nice change of pace from our normal day-to-days that we asked, ‘why not extend it?’ The trip shortly became a 3-week holiday, and in our second week we asked ourselves another question – ‘how can we all make music together and have fun with it?’ All of our current projects are very production-heavy, and this kind of analytical/technical work is usually best handled in our own time. It takes a long time, and stifles communication in the writing process. It’s not a very fun task in a social setting like that. We wanted to make it easy for ourselves to just write and let loose, ju...
