You’ve seen them snaking down the sidewalk conducting impromptu open-air orchestras to the delight of unsuspecting listeners. Or perhaps you’ve seen them take over a show already in progress with guerrilla-style marching-band tactics. Now, with this five-minute documentary, which was made in five days for this year’s edition of the International Documentary Challenge, you can get some rare insight into the mythical Itchy-O’s machinations.
We’re thankful for you. Are you thankful for us?
We feel thankful for our staff and for the privilege of fulfilling our mission to be an unparalleled source of information and insight in Denver. We’re aiming to raise $50,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community.
Help us continue giving back to Denver.
Catch Itchy-O next on Friday, June 7, at 3 Kings Tavern, with Simon Cheffins of Crash Worship and Extra Action, Jon Weiss of Guantanamo School of Medicine and Ween, and Loto Ball with Phillip Haut of the Centimeters, and Ariel Pink. Tickets for the show are ten bucks in advance.
