My first was right here in Boulder in 1977 ( how time flies ). I was aware of the Oyster and there were adds in the Daily Camera, Rocky Mountain News, Denver Post and even Yellow Pages. I had been through a very painful break up a few months prior to my first date so on one cold January night I took the plunge to check out one of these places in Boulder at the time, there were several around in those days, it was a different time. It was a wonderful experience and thats when I discovered that indeed there were women who would spend time with a guy in need of companionship. That was the beginning I was 24 at the time.
