NO FAKE CROWD.
NO COLD ROOM.
The public site will not pretend a packed calendar exists before it does.
The Fort List begins with a standard: useful context, a clear host, an explicit invitation, and follow-through after the night ends.

Approved event facts will appear when a room is ready. Private access details stay behind the threshold.
Contribution standard · 01
Show up with something to add.
This is not a velvet rope built around status. A good nomination names a real contribution: a skill, a point of view, an introduction, dependable help, or the ability to host people well.
Safety, consent, and fit matter more than follower count. Unknown claims stay unknown until reviewed.

THREE STATES.
ONE HONEST LINE.
Nothing here is a score. Each state names what the system actually does.
Contribution
You add something to the room.
A nomination starts with what you make, connect, host, teach, or reliably help move forward.
Consent
The rules stay visible.
Hosts set the context. Guests know what is expected. Private details remain private.
Invitation
The right room opens.
An invitation is specific to a gathering. It is not a public score, permanent rank, or promise of access.

KNOW WHICH DOOR TO OPEN.
A field guide to the rooms worth your night — where the live music actually is, which bars are built for talking, and where the dancing holds up. Ranked from public reviews and official venue facts, with the method shown. Advertising never moves a position.
Daytime in Fort Collins
THE OTHER HALF OF TOWN.
Ice Cream Magazine keeps a separate, source-noted daytime guide. Its public directory and weekly desk are useful before the room opens at night.
