Propaganda at Lannie's Clocktower Cabaret (Monday)Lannie's Propaganda comedy night is moving to Monday this month, and it will also be absolutely free. The Grawlix's Adam Cayton-Holland, Andrew Orvedahl and Ben Roy, along with Los Angeles comic Rory Scovel, will all be performing during an evening of laughs in the lavish, red-curtained setting at Lannie's. A surprise guest is also supposed to grace the stage tonight -- although the ones already billed are reason enough to go.
Holiday Spectacular at El Diablo (Wednesday) Ring in the beginning of the holiday season at the annual lighting of the historic First Avenue Hotel. El Diablo and Sketch Food & Wine Bar are throwing a giant bash, complete with food and drink specials, holiday decor, and even a free reindeer petting zoo. You say the neon lights are bright on Broadway?
CorePower Yoga Cares at various CorePower Yoga studios (Thursday)Prepare for your big Thanksgiving meal today with some exercise and meditation at CorePower Yoga. At various studios around Denver and Boulder, CorePower will be hosting donation-based yoga classes for the holiday. Chaturanga, down-dog and high plank your way into Turkey (or tofurkey) Day. And even though the sessions are free, all donations go to the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless -- so consider dropping some dollars for a worthy cause.

Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
