New Music Mondays Larimer Lounge	Every week Monday, 9:00pm	Downtown	Music
Though the idea of inviting completely inexperienced musicians, journalists, promoters and scenesters to get behind the decks seems like a bad one — especially at the Larimer Lounge, a venue that rarely showcases dance music — DJ Hot to Death (aka Monolith Music Festival's Matt... More >>

Chris Ransick Book Release Meadowlark	Tue., November 10, 6:30pm-8:00pm	Downtown	Barhopping Book Events Poetry
As poet Chris Ransick comes to the end of his second (and last) term as Denver Poet Laureate, he’s looking forward to focusing on doing his own thing. But though Ransick says he’s enjoyed being the face of poetry promotion in town, he’s already taken a step in that direction by... More >>

Neon Indian Larimer Lounge	Tue., November 10, 9:00pm	Downtown	Music
As modern music goes, you really can't get that much more with-the-times than Neon Indian's sun-warped, synth-based, dance-pop sound. It's a style so current, in fact, that critics are still having trouble settling on a genre name for the music that this band and other blog-adored acts like it... More >>

Infected Mushroom (DJ set) Beta	Thu., November 12, 9:00pm	Downtown	Music
Israel's Infected Mushroom specializes in completely over-the-top psychedelic trance. A breakout act in their homeland's substantial psy-trance scene, the duo takes an unusually eclectic approach to the genre, which has led to some odd crossover attention — being tracked on JamBase.com,... More >>

Six Months to Live (final show) Meadowlark	Sat., November 14, 9:00pm	Downtown	Music
In its awkward early phase, it was hard to tell if Six Months to Live (due at the Meadowlark on Saturday, November 14) was an Eric Clapton parody or the real thing. The bizarre publicity photos (see above) that made the band look like the star students of a multi-level marketing/real-estate... More >>

Tina LeGrand's Life as a Fabulous Disappointment Lannie's Clocktower Cabaret	Sun., November 15	Downtown	Cabaret LGBT Events Nightlife
“The idea for the show was really founded out of anger," says Todd Barnes, aka Tina LeGrand. "I had some issues with men not wanting to date me because I'm a female impersonator. I was going to make a point that no matter if I did drag or not, I was still a man." From that small, bitter... More >>

Genghis Khan Denver Museum of Nature and Science	Daily from Fri., October 16 until Sun., February 7, 9:00am-5:00pm	Downtown	Museum Exhibits & Events
When you first think of Genghis Khan, you invariably picture a fierce-looking barbarian Mongol in a flashy helmet with awesome facial hair of the Fu Manchu persuasion. And then you figure he was the kind of guy who’d nonchalantly lop off your head if you crossed him. You wouldn’t be... More >>
