  I really feel for my husband sometimes. In fact, I really feel for all men around this time of year. No, I'm not getting all Glenn Beck on you... I just can't imagine how difficult it must be to shop for the important woman in your life. After all, if your significant other is anything like me, she's picky and fickle and never entirely sure just what she wants for Christmas.

• Going to UMX 2009 this weekend at Bender's Tavern? Here's the line-up.

  This weekend, Bender's Tavern is going to be jumpin as the bar plays host to the 2009 edition of the Ultimate Music Experience, a two-day audition in which eighty or so bands showcase in hopes of landing a slot at this year's Capitol Hill People's Fair, the two-day extravaganza slated to take place on Saturday, June 6, and Sunday, June 7, at Civic Center Park. The UMX, which kicks off at 10 a.m. on both days, is free and open to the public and will feature acts performing ten-minute sets (think

• Hunt for psychedelic poster thieves leads Denver Police to... Englewood?

  Museum officials are thinking of renaming this display, "The Meaningless Rectangular Void." The slicing and theft of two hippie-era concert poster reprints from a temporary cloth wall in front of the Denver Art Museum two weeks ago wasn't quite the art crime of the century. But it certainly qualifies as a bad trip for patrons heading into the mind-bending Hamilton wing to check out Psychedelic Experience exhibit. One of the snatched Experience ads was a 1967 poster by artist Wes Wilson for a Mo

  As we note in this week's paper, a recent Englewood city council discussion about how to regulate proliferating marijuana dispensaries was drowned out by a much more pressing concern -- dog poo. While only a handful of folks showed up at the hearing to talk weed, a small army of concerned citizens showed up to discuss Englewood's Jason Park, where the number of off-leash dogs have some park goers in a tizzy. The pro-leash contingent made the above video to illustrate how their local patch of

  ​If you were a punk between the years of 1978 and 1988 in Denver, you're an OG. We all owe you a tremdous debt of gratitude and respect. You helped build this here scene that is so thriving today. Hell, many of us weren't even a twinkle in our daddy's eye back then. For those who were around back then, the old gang's getting back together for old time's sake on September 15. Of course, you already know that. What you may not have heard, however, is that the venue has changed to Bender's Tavern

• Court case saves Headed West hookah mural

  The mural in question.​ Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland could hardly be more mainstream. Children of all ages have read it for decade upon decade, Disney made an animated version during the Truman administration, and there'll likely be another burst of interest in the material when director Tim Burton's take on the tale, co-starring Johnny Depp, hits theaters next March. But when Headed West, a shop at 4811 S. Broadway specializing in a certain type of specialty merchandise, covered on

"The city has 45 days to decide if they want to appeal to the Colorado Supreme Court," says Mahaney, who's run Headed West for thirteen years -- and unti
