that you joining this is Josh with Travel Crested Butte. I'm here with
Arvin Ram from rumors coffee shop
and Townie bookstore where we are right now
thanks for joining us. Yeah thanks for having me. Our pleasure
I so why a bookstore in Crested Butte?
I am I think one of the best
explanations for that is my favorite quote
from Neil Gaiman's American Gods saying
a town is not a town without a bookstore
Yeah I dig that
And so how long have you been here or at least the bookstore
well we've been here since 2011
okay yeah
it's been a lot of hard work but it's been very worth it
and you and your wife run it together correct? that's correct You and Danica
yeah and you two get along pretty well or do you have to split up
between the coffee shop and the bookstore to keep the peace
we like being around each other so um she's right over there so ill make sure
everything is good. So this is a very
dog-friendly and kid friendly place People
come here after a hike and chill out or after skiing
and bring your dog yeah abolutely this is the place that you can kinda
wind down and just be
yeah it's got a good vibe to it You can get a lot of work done
I've come here and
set up shop and get some work done so This is how we met yes Yeah exactly
very cool I'm going to go grab a cup coffee in rumors and I'll be right back
Alright we're back
And we have coffee - cheers
People. The people in Crested Butte are my favorite thing yeah
what about the people People are why I've
moved here, stayed here, opened a business here
my wife was born and raised here
Ah - Danica is a local, very cool. Yeah she's true local um
yeah I just love the people they never cease to surprise me
this is true yes think they add another element
to the town thats typically missing from other small towns
So i noticed there's a lot of
local art You get a lot artists and musicians coming here all the time it
yep we support local arts community
so whenever you come in there's going to be different
art on wall month to month. We have
poets and may have musicians coming in
and you have a couple book recommendations?
so these are ones that you've read in the past year These are
our are better selling
books that I have enjoyed selling to people
first one is The Emerald Mile non fiction from Kevin Fedarco
It's a three fold story - it's about the history of the Glen Canyon Dam
Natural History of the Grand Canyon
and also the story of the fastest river trip down the Grand Canyon
that's my fiction pick Unchangeable spots of leopards
by Christopher Jansma
It's just a really fun read
I love books in general
and I love books that play with the idea of what they actually are
right and so this is one of those Thanks for joining us
