March 24, 2005Mayor Hick drives the bung at Stranahan's
Photo courtesy of FlickrStranahan's Colorado Whiskey celebrated the corking of its 1,000th barrel on Wednesday, April 8 -- which means that the five-year-old micro-distillery has produced 52,800 gallons of whiskey at its facility in the Ballpark neighborhood. And who was on hand to drive home the cork, or "bung," as it is apparently called, but Mayor John Hickenlooper -- a man who gets to do all the cool stuff around town.
April 9, 2009Run Mayor Hick, Run
Did John Hickenlooper officially announce his re-election campaign in a downtown whiskey distillery this week? Or was the ever-entertaining Denver mayor just feeling particularly spirited (the election is May 2, 2011). The truth is murky -- almost as murky as this poorly composed cell-phone image captured just minutes before the "news." Read for yourself in our Café Society blog here.

July 3, 2003Wake-Up Call: The state of this city
Mayor John Hickenlooper delivered his seventh State of the City speech yesterday, standing on the Greek Pavilion in Civic Center Park at the start of the work day. It was a stunning setting for a sobering speech; the park's lushness made Hickenlooper's message all the more stark: There's no money -- in fact, there's less than the city thought even a week ago, before projections came back with a $120 million gap over the next two years, sending the State of the City back for rewrite. "We face
July 15, 2009Cutting $120 million with no job loss and no new revenue? Good luck with that, guys.
"What can we save if we sell this red carpet on eBay?"Mayor John Hickenlooper may be starring in his own documentary series, but if this morning's Denver Post is any indication, he's soon going to be starring in his own political thriller, in which he somehow tries to trim $120 million from the city's budget without decimating services, putting more people out of work, or taking more money out of his citizens' already-flimsy wallets. From the Post: He said he doubts the city has faced as dras
July 22, 2009Appearing together tonight: Tequila, wine, Mexican food and the mayor
From 6 to 8 p.m. tonight, you can join honorary hosts Mayor John Hickenlooper and his wife, Helen Thorpe, at the D & F Tower, 1601 Arapahoe Street, for the Platteforum wine and tequila event to benefit ArtLab, an after school youth development program for high school students.

John Hickenlooper and Bill Ritter let their hair down (click to enlarge).In today's Denver Post, media writer Joanne Ostrow takes on the September cover of Denver Magazine, in which Channel 31 stars Libby Weaver and Natalie Tysdal are transformed from anchors to shank-ers. After spotlighting quotes from Weaver and station exec Carolyn Kane shrugging off any scent of controversy over the couples' quasi-salacious pose, Ostrow essentially suggests that, given the difficulties the TV industry
August 27, 2009John Hickenlooper's budget-cut pitch
John Hickenlooper.The first specific cut listed by Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper in a letter to the citizens of the city about his budget-cut proposal involves reducing the programming on Denver's Channel 8 to "public-meeting coverage and select programming." The latter apparently includes a newly posted video of Hickenlooper himself trying to personalize the hefty slashes, which include reducing hours at libraries (as well as closing and selling the Byers branch), potentially privatizin
September 16, 2009Hickenlooper finds more library funding -- by taking a chunk out of his homeless plan
Jeanne Faatz.Moments from now, Mayor John Hickenlooper will be meeting with the media to talk about a revision in his budget plan -- additional bucks to save the Byers library , which had been marked for closure, and keep other branches open for longer hours. And where is he getting the dough? Well, over a million is coming from homeless program funding that he announced mere weeks ago. Back then, City Councilwoman Jeanne Faatz was among the few politicos willing to oppose this feel-good
October 14, 2009Wake-Up Call: John Hickenlooper, Mayor of the (really) Mile High City
"Rocky Mountain High" is getting quite a work-out as national media outlets run stories on the booming medical marijuana business in Colorado. With both city and state officials talking about reining in the industry with new regulations, I put calls into both Governor Bill Ritter and Mayor John Hickenlooper on Monday, asking for their thoughts on this new, really green, really growing field. I'm still waiting to hear back from the governor's office. But Hickenlooper, who first came to th
October 28, 2009Cafe Society gathering at the Fainting Goat tonight
Ten years ago this month Westword left LoDo -- where the paper had been housed, in an assortment of offices, for more than twenty years, since long before lower downtown even had a hip nickname. Moving to the edge of the Golden Triangle, we found the space and parking we needed -- but we left behind the watering holes where we'd conducted so much of our business. The Wazee Lounge & Supper Club. My Brother's Bar. McCormick's. And the Wynkoop Brewing Co., where we first became acquainted wi
November 11, 2009Ken Salazar won't run for governor, endorses John Hickenlooper
Is this the next Democratic nominee for governor?Update, 12:41 p.m.: John Hickenlooper has now released a statement regarding Ken Salazar's endorsement of him as a gubernatorial candidate. Read it below the original item. At least Ken Salazar didn't keep us guessing about his campaign intentions for long... Today, Salazar released a statement saying he wouldn't return to Colorado to take a shot at the governor's gig -- and specifically endorsing Denver mayor John Hickenlooper. Salazar w
January 7, 2010Wake-Up Call: Bill Ritter's job push
Governor Bill Ritter hosted more than thirty business leaders at the Governor's Mansion yesterday for a roundtable discussion of one of his major priorities for 2010: job creation. But Ritter had already given job creation a major push the day before, when his official announcement that he would not run for reelection triggered a sudden scramble of people looking not just at his job, but at the job of Denver mayor. And at all the jobs involved in multiple mayoral campaigns.
January 8, 2010John Hickenlooper to run for governor, multiple reports say
"It was only a matter of time."At this hour, multiple news agencies, including Channel 4 and the Denver Post, are reporting that Denver mayor John Hickenlooper will run for Colorado governor, with an announcement anticipated this afternoon. The move is the biggest surprise since the sun came up this morning. It's been abundantly clear that Hickenlooper was the Democrats' man since at least last Thursday, when Interior secretary Ken Salazar formally endorsed Hick in his own declaration of
January 12, 2010Say goodbye to Mayor Hick and hello to Governor John Hickenlooper -- he hopes
He didn't ride up on a scooter and he didn't sky dive out of an airplane. He wasn't wearing his pajamas or a crazy green bow tie or even a cowboy hat. Mayor John Hickenlooper had declared Tuesday "Dress Western Day" in honor of the National Western Stock Show. But for him, it was Dress Like a Governor Day. "My name is John Hickenlooper and I want to be the next governor of Colorado," the mayor, garbed in a suit, red and blue striped tie and overcoat, told a crowd of several hundred peop
January 12, 2010Wake-Up Call: Whoa for all those would-be mayoral candidates after John Hickenlooper's job
It may be "giddyup" time for John Hickenlooper, but his announcement that he does not plan to resign as Denver mayor in order to run for Colorado governor put a major "whoa" on all the dark horses already preparing for a run at the top slot at City Hall. And that's a good thing. Here's why: Under city charter, if Hickenlooper gave up his office, Denver would have to hold a special election for his seat within 120 days of his resignation, and that could cost Denver a half-million bucks.
January 13, 2010John Hickenlooper staff trying to figure out how to drive mayor/gubernatorial campaign hybrid
"Allow me to introduce myself, rest of Colorado."John Hickenlooper's declaration yesterday that he will run for governor even as he keeps his job as Denver mayor creates a challenge for his mayoral staff, as mayor's office spokesman Eric Brown acknowledges. Yesterday, for instance, he helped set up the Hick announcement -- a task that had nothing to do with city business. So, in order not to rip off Denver taxpayers, he took the day off, at least technically. "Yesterday was a full vacati
January 13, 2010Diana DeGette John Hickenlooper = Ellen DeGeneres
An early strategy being used to undermine John Hickenlooper in his run for the governorship is actually an old favorite -- portraying him as too liberal. That's the theme of the video above, put together by WhoSaidYouSaid.com, a humor-oriented political website overseen by Republican stalwarts Kelly Maher and Mary Smith, in which a quote about Hick by Diana DeGette -- "If you look at some of the things he's done, he's probably at least as liberal as me" -- is illustrated by morphing her photo w

Mayor and chef John HickenlooperWhen Ray LaHood, secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation, stood up to address the U.S. Conference of Mayors last week, he gave a special shout-out to John Hickenlooper, who'd met with him in Denver the week before when LaHood was in town for a job summit -- and cooked dinner for him at his Park Hill home. Denver's mayor, a former restaurateur, really knew how to cook, LaHood told the crowd, raving about the surf and turf (salmon and steak from
