<title>03/29/2012 - Earth Day 2012.</title>
<guid>http://www.ColoradoSpringsNightOut.com/blog/53574/earth-day-2012</guid>
<link>http://www.ColoradoSpringsNightOut.com/blog/53574/earth-day-2012</link>
<description>Earth Day 2012 this year will be held on March 31st. Taking part this year is our very own Summit House on the top of Pikes Peak.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Saturday night, from 8:30 to 9:30, the Summit House will go completely dark as they participate in Earth Day 2012. What some of us might not have known is that this is a world wide event with other famous landmarks taking part as well, such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France as well as landmarks in England, Australia and South America. In addition, for the first time ever, the International Space Station will be taking part by watching over the Earth during this event.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Should you like to participate and show your support for Earth Day all you have to do is turn your lights off at 8:30 as well and then keep them off until 9:30. That's it. Simple. Of course if you still want to watch T.V. you most certainly can, just in the dark.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

<title>03/09/2012 - Neighborhood Watch Training.</title>

<description>Would you like to get more involved in your community and in the security of your neighborhood? Most people would say yes and this is why the Colorado Springs Police Dept will be hosting an informal training session on how to conduct yourself as a neighborhood watch.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Topics will include: watch programs, when to call the police, what to do until the police arrive, and the role of the block captain.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This class could just save one of your neighbors some heartache as they may have to deal with the loss of possessions due to a break in. It most certainly will raise awareness throughout your neighborhood and could quite possibly reduce the risk of theft in your area.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You could become the neighbors hero by simply attending this class. Class will be held at 2741 E. Las Vegas St, downtown at the Springs Police Department starting at 1pm.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

You couldn't be further from the truth. Thanks to the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce, (which is really doing great things for the Springs Business community), you have access to a multitude of people who can help you get your business on track for another successful year.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; face=&quot;verdana&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Every second and fourth Monday you can join a group of professionals as we all share ideas as well as advice on everything from marketing, to payroll, to taxes. If you have a question, or are trying to work through a particularly concerning problem for your business then you might just benefit from this group. On the contrary, if you are a current business owner who has a wealth of experience and know that you could help out other small business owners ,then you must get over here and help out.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot; face=&quot;verdana&quot;&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-weight: 400; &quot;&gt;Meet us at: Big House Sports. 2660 Vickers Dr. By the corner of Vickers and Union, West.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; face=&quot;verdana&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Contact T.C. if you have questions and want more information at: 719-535-9933.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, san-serif; font-size: medium; &quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot; face=&quot;verdana&quot;&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-weight: 400; &quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, san-serif; font-size: medium; &quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot; face=&quot;verdana&quot;&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-weight: 400; &quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0); &quot;&gt;&lt;font class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; face=&quot;verdana&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0); &quot;&gt;&lt;font class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; face=&quot;verdana&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<title>01/22/2012 - Awesome Valentines Day!!</title>
<guid>http://www.ColoradoSpringsNightOut.com/blog/50427/awesome-valentines-day</guid>
<link>http://www.ColoradoSpringsNightOut.com/blog/50427/awesome-valentines-day</link>
<description>So your looking for a way to impress your sweetheart and your looking to make it as grand as possible.   Flowers have been done, the big teddy bear has been done and the chocolates, well that just isn't as smart as it used to be.&amp;nbsp;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This year, make her heart really pound. Take her on the ride of her life, literally, and enjoy a custom 20 or 40 minute helicopter flight by Colorado Vertical.  Encapsulated inside the mini helicopter will be you, your sweetheart and the pilot as you fly around Colorado Springs, snuggling up to each other in excitement and enjoying some &quot;just for you&quot; custom chocolates.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The lady of your life will also receive a special rose and the two of you will enjoy a special music selection throughout your ride. This is truly the way to make Valentines Day memorable and special.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;She will not forget this special gift and neither will you.  Jewelry is passe, and quite frankly, unnecessary this time of year. Save the Jewelry and the flowers for when you really need to apologize for something. Thrill her instead with one of these two special flights.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You will not regret this and she will be talking about it, well, forever.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Take advantage of special pricing on the 20 minute Demitasse Garden of the Gods tour or the 40 minute America the Beautiful Pikes Peak tour.  Prices:  20 minute tour special - $100/person (normally $120)  40 minute tour special - $185/person (normally $210)&lt;/div&gt;</description>

<description>Spartans, Prepare for Glory!!!&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So you think your a &quot;Spartan&quot; do you. You think you have the fortitude to push yourself to the maximum, and then go a little further, do you? IF you really think that, then this is the for you to step up and take your shield in hand. Come back with it, or on it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Spartan Race is normally a pretty tough time however, thanks to our very own 10th Special Forces Group (A) stationed at Ft. Carson, CO, this years race is going to truly test your fortitude. Based at Ft. Carson this race will be composed of approximately 4 miles of the toughest obstacles yet, and with the Special Forces input, you just may find that this is too tough for you. ( I can tell you from experience that the altitude and topography of Ft. Carson is not for the weak of mind.)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Normally the Spartan Sprint would be open to all and would include the season pass holders however this event is not available to those holding the season pass. Perhaps you could still register as a one time event.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;All of those who dare to excel will receive the following:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(243, 243, 243); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; &quot;&gt;- Finishers Medal&lt;br style=&quot;outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; &quot;&gt;- T-Shirt&lt;br style=&quot;outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; &quot;&gt;- Free Beer ticket for anyone 21 and over&lt;br style=&quot;outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; &quot;&gt;- Bragging Rights&lt;br style=&quot;outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; &quot;&gt;- Free Mud&lt;br style=&quot;outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; &quot;&gt;- High Pressure Water to the Gut&lt;br style=&quot;outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; &quot;&gt;- Roasted Shoelaces&lt;br style=&quot;outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; &quot;&gt;- Scrapes and Bruises&lt;br style=&quot;outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; &quot;&gt;- Awesome Stories to Tell&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(243, 243, 243); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; &quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(243, 243, 243); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; &quot;&gt;You will also gain the respect of the Nations best; 10th Special Forces Group (A). That alone is worth the pain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(243, 243, 243); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; &quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(243, 243, 243); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; &quot;&gt;IF you think you can hack it, and you want in, then you better get in now. Prices continue to rise as the date approaches and fear consumes you. Eventually you find a reason not to take part in it and then you have to live with the shame of it the rest of your life, or until you are mentally strong enough to actually participate in a future event.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(243, 243, 243); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; &quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(243, 243, 243); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; &quot;&gt;For those of you who are physically unable to participate, you can volunteer and gain bragging rights that way (although not the respect of the 10th SFG(A)).

<title>12/29/2011 - New Years Eve, Springs Style.</title>
<guid>http://www.ColoradoSpringsNightOut.com/blog/49236/new-years-eve-springs-style</guid>
<link>http://www.ColoradoSpringsNightOut.com/blog/49236/new-years-eve-springs-style</link>
<description>It's that time of year again. New Years Eve is fast approaching in just a couple of days. How will you be spending your last day of 2011? For me, we will spend it at a friends house and celebrate the coming of another year. One more year of health, wealth and family.&amp;nbsp;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;One tradition of the Springs that we have always enjoyed is the fireworks that come off of the peak at midnight. Thanks to the AdAmAn (pronounced add a man) club, we have been able to enjoy fireworks for the last 89 years.  Started in 1922, five good friends started a club that was intended to provide something new for New Years versus the same old boring parties. Imagine if you will, a frozen mountain over 14 thousand feet tall, and five guys with very little cold weather gear, climbing up the mountain in frigid cold temps with massive snow drifts all along the way. Once up there they lit a fire in the summit house and waited for the midnight hour by singing songs and eating traditional foods. At midnight they lit off their flares they had brought with them and some fireworks as well as made a giant fire of old railroad tracks for all of Colorado Springs to see. Of course this made for some concerned citizens but became the tradition that we now have today.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Take some time this Saturday night to look up to the Peak and watch the fireworks at midnight. Think back to the early 1900's and be thankful for what we have today. No matter how you celebrate your New Years Eve, make it one full of family, tradition, and good times.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Never drive drunk and always remember that your friends and family need you throughout 2012.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Happy New Years Colorado Springs.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

<title>12/23/2011 - New Years Eve Glow and Rave Party!!</title>
<guid>http://www.ColoradoSpringsNightOut.com/blog/48971/new-years-eve-glow-and-rave-party</guid>
<link>http://www.ColoradoSpringsNightOut.com/blog/48971/new-years-eve-glow-and-rave-party</link>
<description>What could be better on New Years Eve than to have a Zumba glow and rave party!!&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;First off, the dress code for this party is nothing like your normal new years eve parties. Zumba attire is in affect. The more they shine and sparkle the better. Heels are not only discouraged at this party, they will be extremely uncomfortable while doing your zumba, and could possibly take someones eye out.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Multiple instructors will be on hand to give you a variety of dancing as well as their very own Zumba DJ. Dance the year away and bring in the new year with a sweat. &amp;nbsp;Appetizers will be made available to keep your energy up and drinks will be provided as well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tickets are just $15 in advance, $25 at the door. Rock this party all night and enjoy the last of the year 2011.&lt;img src=&quot;http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/8595/98805074.jpg&quot; width=&quot;410&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

<link>http://www.ColoradoSpringsNightOut.com/blog/48347/cicis-pizza-customer-appreciation-day</link>
<description>Welcome one and all to the Customer appreciation day at CiCi's on Platte avenue.  If you have kids, or a large family then you know the value of a great meal at a really great price. CiCi's has had such a great year and many of you are the reason why.  This is their way of showing their gratitude to you.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;December 9th will be the customer appreciation day for the CiCi's on Platte Ave. All day you can enjoy a variety of pizza's and most importantly their cinnamon roll pizza and apple pizza, for just $1.99.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you need a reason to enjoy a great pizza meal, and to take in all those carbs then this should do it. &amp;nbsp;I know for me and my family we always enjoy a trip to CiCi's and leave stuffed to the gills. &amp;nbsp;I don't know why but my kids always seem to get the dessert pizza's first. Maybe they are on to something, since I am usually pretty stuffed before getting to the dessert.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thank you CiCi's for the last year and for this wonderful day.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;http://www.cicispizza.com/_template.php&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

<description>Have you ever responded to a Text message while you were driving? Or maybe inputting a new location in your GPS? If so then you know the dangers of distracted driving. Distracted driving has catastrophic effects for those who are unable to concentrate and then create what results in a near fatal and sometimes fatal accident. On a loud speaker, a 911 call is played and triggers an emergency response by police, fire, paramedics and a coroner. They all show up to the mock car crash scene. Actors are involved in staging a simulated car collision instigated by driver error on a road way or in a parking lot. Firefighters use the “Jaws of Life” to remove one actor from a mangled vehicle while another actor is declared dead on arrival and carried off by the coroner. Another driver is arrested for driving under the influence and is booked for Vehicular Manslaughter. The dramatization is amazing, shocking, and it will make you THINK!  Oct 22nd in Green Mountain Falls there will be a demonstration on just what happens when a distracted driver causes an accident. Please let everyone you know, know about this and attend it with your children so that they will learn not to do the same mistake.

<guid>http://www.ColoradoSpringsNightOut.com/blog/44527/zombies</guid>
<link>http://www.ColoradoSpringsNightOut.com/blog/44527/zombies</link>
<description>You knew it was coming, the Zombie Apocalypse, and yet you still did not prepare.  Even the Center for Disease Control prepared a blog entry titled &quot;Social Media: Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse.”  Well it is too late now my friend.  Stay away from downtown CS this Saturday unless you want to be bitten and turned into an undead, flesh eating, mindless Zombie.  Of course some of us know some of those people and so we will be there to support them anyway, and what the heck, have a TON of FUN!!!  Get down to Tejon St early on the night of the 15th and get yourself all 'done up' as a Zombie, then go out and scare the bejezzus out of some normal citizens.  Careful though, there just may be some Zombie hunters out there too. </description>

Not any more my friends.     Today's Taco Bell restaurants have received a complete makeover and it has improved the feel of the restaurant immensely. Colors have been updated to reflect their modern and hip direction as well as many new menu items that make their restaurants feel more like a regular sit down restaurant.    Take a look at their new stores improvements in their existing restaurants and stop by their new store at Union and Boulder. You will not recognize them but you will love them. </description>

The stories that are shared here, when family vacations become unforgettable memories.  Our stories really do matter: they define who we are.

Our dining room has also received the DiRoNa Award, and Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence, every year.  From our world-class fine dining, our amazing rooms, personalized service, our fun new bar and grill, to the limitless experiences and activities Manitou Springs has to offer: we are confident that you will love your stay here... and what a story you'll have to tell!  We're proud of our history. Come share yours with us!  We're within ten minutes of downtown Colorado Springs, but (rest assured) a world away!   http://www.thecliffhouse.com/</description>
