You may not be able to understand the French lyrics, but you can still fall in love with them. Amuse-toi bien!
Film on the Fly and Costume Party
Denver International Airport
5 p.m. Thursday, free
They started even before DIA opened, and conspiracy theories continue to take off at the airport. Now airport officials are letting those theories fly, with a conspiracy-related exhibit all month and a conspiracy-theory costume party to go along with tonight's outdoor screening of Close Encounters of the Third Kind on the new plaza between the terminal and the Westin hotel. Before the movie, enjoy music and libations.
