Take This and Keep Warm, Year Three
Sunday, November 12, noon
Civic Center Park
Donations
While Civic Center Park is always great for holidays and festivals, it's impossible to ignore that the grounds also serve as a hub and habitat for people experiencing homelessness. And as the mercury drops with winter's arrival, an already heartbreakingly dire living situation can quickly become a matter of life and death. Inspired by a nationwide movement, the mission statement of Take This and Keep Warm is fairly straightforward. Donors place scarves, hats, gloves, jackets and other winter gear in trees with a note attached, reading, "I am not lost; please take me and keep warm.” The local organizers, who are holding the event in honor of their late father, also suggest putting together bags of toiletries and hygiene products for those in need. The loosely organized acts of empathy start at noon on Sunday, November 12. Find out more on the Facebook events page.

Lady Lavender's Brunchlesque Pajama Party

El Charrito

As anyone who's waited ninety minutes for some damn eggs can grumpily attest, Denver's brunch craze shows no sign of abating. However, few late breakfast outlets offer the unique combo of vittles and titillation that Lady Lavender's Brunchlesque Pajama Party ladles out in spades. November's showcase, "Smarty Pants-less," includes the saucy yet scholarly routines of burlesque favorites such as Chakra Tease, the Plastic Fantastic Ken, HypnoAmber, and Dagny Vanderlust. Brunch kicks off at the hangover-friendly hour of noon, when guests can enjoy the underrated culinary offerings of the Ballpark neighborhood's "Five Star Dive Bar." Get tickets, $5 to $20, and more details on the Brunchlesque Eventbrite page.

Organ and Choir Concert
Sunday, November 12, 2 p.m.
Trinity United Methodist Church
Free
Standing tall for over a century, well before being dwarfed by surrounding skyscrapers, Trinity United Methodist Church is one of downtown Denver's most historically significant buildings, as well as the home of a world-class Roosevelt pipe organ. Join Trinity's skilled staff organist Norman Sutphin, along with special guests the Chancel Chamber Choir, for an unforgettable evening of music so enchanting even non-believers may have epiphanies. The program includes Howard Hanson's "Song of Democracy," Maurice Duruflé's "Suite, Op. 5: Prelude, Sicilienne, Toccata" and Johann Sebastian Bach's "Prelude and Fugue in E minor." One simply can't have a proper organ recital without a little Bach — and more. Find more details on the event's Facebook page.
