• The Big Blue Bear's thoughts on being on Good Morning America today

  Millions of bleary-eyed Americans were greeted this morning by the sight of a big blue bear -- a living embodiment of the iconic "I See What You Mean" bear statue on the side of the Colorado Convention Center -- waving cheerfully to them from their televisions. It was part of a Good Morning America segment recognizing Denver for being chosen for a holiday window display at the ABC studios in New York. While Mayor John Hickenlooper unveiled the display on the air, a camera crew filmed a "Mile H

• Red-hot photos of uncensored big blue bear lovin'!

  We've long known people love the iconic big blue bear that peeks into the Colorado Convention Center (it's officially titled "I See What You Mean"). Blue bear miniatures have been selling like hotcakes, and, as we uncovered in a tell-all interview, the big blue bear even recently appeared on Good Morning America. But, as the photos shown here and after the jump suggest, maybe blue-bear adoration includes a love that dares not speak its name.

• SPIRE-tini: The new taste of downtown living

  Spire, the 42-story condo tower going up at 14th and Champa streets, is all about the cool. From its energy-efficient design to its so-called attainable unit prices (60 percent of its cushy units will go for less than $400,000) to its strikingly illuminated facade, this ain't your granddaddy's high-rise. That was clearly the message at the swanky launch party last night for the opening of Spire's marketing center in the Colorado Convention Center, located across the street from where the 483-f

• Desperately seeking volunteers for the IACP conference in Denver

  "Dearest Peers in Food and Life..." That's the word-for-word salutation lifted from an e-mail I just read from Sylvia Tawse, the International Association of Culinary Professionals' host city committee chair -- and a woman I've never met in my life. But you know what? Anyone who starts her e-mails with that kind of greeting must be worth meeting, right? Plus, we're both members of Les Dames d' Escoffier International (Google it, if you must), which means that we're kinda-sorta colleagues. Kiss,
