Peruse these, won't you?

Today in Cafe Society: • Health magazine declares DIA to be the fifth greenest airport in all the land. • Rooting around Root Down. • Cooking for a cause at the Ice House. • Cafe Bisque loses half its name. • The skinny on Fat Sully's grand opening. • Alaskan Winter Ale gets the Beer and Cheer treatment. • The Boulderado through the ages.

Today in Backbeat Online: • The Fucked Up frontman name-drops Bum Kon. • A Hot IQs update. • Matt Fecher launches New Music Monday at the Larimer Lounge. • Eric Eyl's Mile High Makeout takes on guns and butter.

Today in The Latest Word: • Could the end of election season make Dan Caplis listenable again? • Dean Singleton's outsourcing ideas are taken to their logical conclusion. • The Downtown Aquarium is unequipped to deal with piranha attacks or a reporter's questions. • Marilyn Musgrave angrily concedes defeat -- sort of. • Taco Bell's free taco deal goes from a hit to a brick. It's crunch-time. -- Michael Roberts
