Hi I'm a foreign tourist and have a free day and thought I might hang around Longmont. I gots some questions please:

Q1) Saw a thing about that independence concert in Roosevelt Park tonight, worthwhile to check out or is it more for kids and families do you reckon?

Q2) I saw there were batting cages in Garden Acres Park; if I've never swung a bat in my life, is there like a beginner slow mode?

Q3) Where can I get a really nice slice of pie and a coffee later on this afternoon?

Q4) Any neat shops to check out?

Q5) not sure about the drink driving laws here, if I have one beer at one of the breweries like that pumphouse place will I probably be under the limit? - I'm a average sized human

Cheers

Update: Thankyou Longmonters! I had a real nice day in town.

• Had heuvos rancheros for breakfast at Taco Don José's, was bueno
• Ended up at Wibby and watched some afternoon world cup with a nice pint
• Went to Garden Acres park and the afternoon really got away from me cause I ended up watching a softball game
• Went to the cages after and loved it! No pressure, easy going and inexpensive fun. I found the 35mph baseball was actually easier to hit than the slow pitch softball which arcs too high for me. I hit way more than I thought I would. Highly recommend.
• Not a lot of time left so I went back to main street and had banana cream pie at Aunt Alice's which I really enjoyed.
• Went to New Castle Comics and games, great wee shop
• Popped into that quarters arcade and played pinball
• Then over to the concert: lovely vibe, great for people watching and G Love were a lot of fun

Really impressed with Longmont, thanks to everyone for the recommendations. Cheers!

I've just recently started playing cribbage and am loving it. However, I only have one person in real life to play but they aren't too experienced either and other than them it's just cribbage pro. I feel like I'm really getting the hang of it in a basic way but due to circumstances won't get irl opportunities for seasoned advice to improve strategies or see a variety in play. So please help:

• What was the best advice your cribbage mentor told you or that you would give a newbie?
• I saw something somewhere mention about 'defensive strategy', when and how do you do that?
• If you end up tens of points behind is there a smart way to claw back or is it just gonna be pure luck you get some big hands too?
• What is a great casual player doing that a new casual player wouldn't have conceived yet?
