Life is short. For instance, even if you live to be ninety years old, that’s only 4,680 weekends. And until you’re a teenager, most of them are wasted on cartoons, sugary cereal and picking boogers. So, now that you’re older, don’t forget to live it up any chance you get…

We survived the snowiest February on record, and while it’s still cold outside, activities around town are starting to heat up. This week you can celebrate your city, meet an author and laugh with some ladies over Cosmos — all for free. Go to the Westword calendar for more events…

Can you believe we’re already two months into 2015? Time flies when there is so much see and do in this town. This weekend you can get fit, learn new things, hear cool riffs, celebrate dirty minds, see sexy dancers and so much more. If that’s not enough for you,…

Artopia 2015 is over (Cody Chesnutt was there — how cool is that?), but the fun will continue to heat up this week. The hot events include another chance to see Westword MasterMind and Whiteout designer Deb Henriksen, a primer on cosmic travel and some good laughs — all for…

We’ve been a bit spoiled with the weather in Denver the last couple of weekends, but winter may rear it’s cold, ugly head again this time around. Still, it shouldn’t stop you from having a good time. If you’re not going to Artopia — Westword’s annual festival of fashion, arts and culture…

Although the official holiday is today, this is also Mardi Gras week, which calls for some real celebration. So we’re going to let the good times roll as we to kill some brain cells, take a look at our bodies and mark  a reason to wear a tuxedo — or…

Love is in the air this weekend, and that’s just kind of the way it is. If you’re going to treat your sweet to a nice weekend of love, by all means save a little money on activities so you can spend the rest on chocolate. And even if you…

One of the best holidays of the year is coming up on February 11: National Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk Day. To help you get in the spirit, we’ve rounded up a few free events that should help you celebrate things big and small. For more event listings, check out…

Just because Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, doesn’t mean we need to hide indoors this weekend. Sure there might be six more weeks of the season that is not spring, summer or fall, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a good time. This week, we’re swapping, hopping, hooting and…

Since you’ve already sent off your rent check (if not, remember that we’re a month into 2015), you’ll want to save money this week — but still have fun. Over the next few days, you can check out some hot art, meet a brilliant writer and hustle your way into…

It’s Super Bowl weekend, which is cool, except for the fact that our boys in orange and blue won’t be there. And after last year’s Super Bowl, taking in a game featuring the Seattle Seahawks is like watching your ex-girlfriend go on a bunch of Tinder dates. To take your…

If things go the way the local weathercasters are predicting, this last week of January is going to feel a lot more like March. Take advantage of that and get out of the house to experiment with film, be a rock god or eat food made by a comedian, all…

Hard to believe that we’re already in the fourth weekend of the new year. Hopefully everyone is keeping up with their resolutions, but if you’re not there’s not a lot going on this weekend that will be bad for your health or hard on your finances. Lose your voice to…

This may be a short work week, but it’s long on free fun. After you march in this morning’s MLK Marade to celebrate the reason we have the day off, continue the discussion at Black Lives Matter at the McNichols Building. Then it’s on to Night Brunch, movies and other…

Most of us get to take a break from the typical Monday due to the celebration for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. With that extended weekend, make it a point to pack in as much as possible. This weekend, you’ll find free beer to be had, specific karaoke to be…

Life is getting back to normal (boring) now that the distractions of the holidays are behind us. Don’t be depressed, though, because there is always plenty of hip-happening things to do in Denver.
