A LOOK INSIDE THE TSG COMMUNITY | On Wednesday, May 27 co-editors Kristie Shehan and Erin Klau welcomed the members of The Scout Guide Boulder to one of the most anticipated nights on the TSG calendar — the Volume 4 Cover Color Party at Pizzeria Alberico. Over craft cocktails and wood-fired pizzas, the room buzzed with the energy of a community that genuinely loves what it’s built together. Old friendships picked up mid-sentence, new ones started over a shared slice, and somewhere between the laughter and the clinking glasses, Boulder’s most trusted independent businesses cast their votes for the color that will define Volume 4—arriving November 2026. Interested in being a part of this community? Act now: we’re accepting members for Volume 4 through July 1!
