Dance Initiative recognized a growing need for affordable and accessible space for movement-based artists and musicians to teach, create and rehearse. Carbondale Arts recognized the need to create increased economy and visibility for local artists by bringing its R2 Gallery back to Carbondale's Main Street, and to house Creative District operations in a central location. In the spirit of inclusivity and with a realistic goal of providing a more robust arts experience for creatives of all disciplines, CA & DI joined forces creating The Launchpad. The Launchpad features two professional grade performing arts studios available for public use, a fine art gallery, the shop,"Artique"and the Betty Jane Schuss Memorial Gardens featuring edible and medicinal landscaping, small ampitheatre, gathering spaces, community vegetable gardens and sculpture garden.

Well, she rents a car and makes that 4 hour drive to the small hole in the wall venue to see them! I saw Pepper play here on a Thursday night. As expected for this band, there was a line up to get in at least an hour before doors opened! This venue was perfect for me to see an amazing band up close and personal! When you first enter the building this is where the bathrooms and bar and merch sales take place. Then you walk down to where the music takes place. There are no seats (at least I dont remember there being any). There were sort of three levels to it. The most lower level we'll call the "pit" because really that is where you go to be as close as possible to whoever it is that you are seeing. Then there were two more levels with a handfull of bar tables to put a drink or two on. Each level was separated by railing. It does seem like an older building, but I think that really just adds to the ambience of the venue. :) There are plenty of eateries in walking distance if you want to grab a bite before a show. Parking is street parking. I didn't see a garage in the area, then again I am not a local, so I can only state what I saw as I was driving around looking for a spot to park. I'd see a show here again if the opportunity arrises.

The best way is free and great way to enjoy a nice afternoon in Aspen. The Benedict Music tent is surrounded by a grass field and meadows its the ideal way to enjoy the music and its free to-boot.

Sit down at Plato's and undiscovered and under rated restaurant in Aspen. By far one of the best menus for 100 miles or more!
