Well, as far in advance as you're planning, you've got plenty of time to plan de-pressurization zones: long drives, afternoon naps, frequent [chocolate?] breaks, etc. In a nice feedback loop, you having such plans to alleviate stress will in itself alleviate lots of stress.

You should plan for some concerts and filking, though. selenesue ran a percussion circle in LA; maybe there'll be something similar in Denver. Should we set you to *drum* up business for it? ;)
