In 1992, Dede Laugesen was immersed in the Boulder drug culture and dancing at the Bustop strip club to pay her way through school at CU’s journalism school. <\/p>\n
Wayne Laugesen was a hard-drinking editor at a Washington D.C. magazine, one of his first jobs in a career that would lead him to the Boulder Planet, and the Boulder Weekly, two notoriously left-wing papers in an equally liberal town. <\/p>\n
