Believe it, Beliebers: As part of his first-ever stadium tour across North America, Justin Bieber will perform in Denver on August 17, 2017, at the Sports Authority Field at Mile High. Bieber has kept a relatively low profile in 2016 (read: limited scandals), all the while collecting the most American…
Both recovering addicts and comedians, Mark Lundholm and Kurt Matthews, aka The Addicts, have built careers of making their respective recovery processes not only relatable, but funny. No, it wasn’t funny when Matthews got in a drunk-driving accident in 1984 and almost killed himself and the girls in the other car. Losing relationships and being arrested wasn’t necessarily funny, either. But both Lundholm and Matthews recognize the humor in their flaws. “The insanity is funny,” says Lundholm.
With the election mere hours away, we’re heading to the state capitol to catch up with Gov. John Hickenlooper during a Facebook Live today around 1:30.
Rob Rager had some time to kill between appointments, so, like anyone with a phone, he started scrolling through Facebook. A conversation occurring on the Denver Fugly Facebook page caught his eye. Fugly encourages discussion about design and architecture – mostly of the bad variety – and is followed by…
“It’s been a very good year.” Jay North, the state chairman of the Libertarian Party, is being modest. According to the latest voter-registration statistics, the number of registered Libertarians in Colorado grew over 26 percent since January. Republicans added about 4 percent, Democrats about 7 percent. We spoke to North…
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will square off tonight, October 19, for the third and final presidential debate. From 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, Clinton and Trump will probably bring up a lot of personal drama, definitely not shake hands, and, if we’re lucky,…
Though the hotel was mum on details, it’s safe to say Robert Redford and Jane Fonda were filming scenes for the Netflix-produced film Ours Souls at Night, which is based on the Kent Haruf book set in the fictional small town of Holt, Colorado, at the Brown Palace on Monday, October 17. …
Suite 201 of the Wellington E. Webb Municipal Office Building was bursting at the seams Tuesday, October 11, when the Board of Adjustments took up an appeal that argued the zoning department had erred when it permitted micro-apartments and a restaurant in the 1500 block of Humboldt Street. The board…
We might still be experiencing shorts weather along the Front Range, but the mountains are getting their first taste of winter. This week, snowmaking started on Copper Mountain, which opens to skiers at 9 a.m. on November 11. Why start making snow this early? “We try to start making snow as…
Last week we published a story that incited a lot of trash talk. We told you the city of Denver plans to phase out dumpsters by 2018, and some of you voiced strong opinions about the dumpster’s alternative: manual trash collection to cart-based trash service. So we condensed your questions and…
The Colorado Symphony announced it will perform yet again with singer-songwriter Gregory Alan Isakov, at 7:30 p.m. on January 13, 2017. This will be the symphony and Isakov’s third collaborative performance and comes on the heels of the successful 2016 release of the album Gregory Alan Isakov with the Colorado Symphony…
Some of Denver knows this all too well: Alleys are a mess. Trash pours out of dumpsters, attracting all kinds of critters and sometimes blocking the road. But that might not be an issue come 2018. By then, all of Denver’s 120,000 homes will have converted from dumpster or manual…
What has the power to register voters (and possibly bring about world peace)? Tacos, of course. Playing off a Donald Trump surrogate’s famous “taco trucks on every corner” quote, in which the co-founder of Latinos for Trump suggested that leaving immigration unsolved would lead to – gasp! – a taco truck on…
It’s something journalists and campaign insiders know on Election Day usually way before the public: outcomes of elections. Why, then, are the outcomes withheld? “I think it’s because one night in 1980 Congress flipped out and told the networks [releasing real-time results] was bad for democracy because there was some…
If Colorado seems exciting now, imagine what it must have felt like in the 1870s. We joined the Union that decade and saw the beginnings of the Colorado Silver Rush, during which about $80 million worth of silver was mined (and that’s 1870s money, mind you). That caught the attention of…
As any owner of a rescued pet will tell you, just who rescued who isn’t always clear. On Thursday, September 15, the Denver Public Library and the Denver Animal Shelter partnered to give dogs and humans some love and a little exercise. The shelter brought some dogs in its care…
Colorado has long offered its scenery to movies, and now thousands of lucky locals will get a chance to star in one. Casting directors are hosting an open casting call for Netflix’s adaptation of the Kent Haruf novel “Our Souls at Night.” Starring Robert Redford (!) and Jane Fonda (!), the…
The River North neighborhood has gone from industrial corridor to hipster magnate, full of bars, restaurants and apartment buildings. And this week developers of the area released a rendering of what the neighborhood will look like in four years (above photo), when at least fifteen projects currently in the works are…
Sometimes it may not feel like it, but much progress has been made in the fight for women’s rights. Take birth control. It’s hard to imagine now, but a hundred years ago it was illegal to even tell someone about it, much less try to practice it. A pivotal contributor…
Often it is the case that from bad comes good. For Natalie Brown, it took a few slipped discs, a natural disaster, the untimely death of a loved one and the Great Recession to find her calling: the Phantom Circus, the performance group she founded that will debut at the Oriental…
Raymond Garcia, a Republican running for a seat in the state House, says memes he’s shared on his personal Facebook page are jokes and a response to the politically charged material his “liberal” friends share on their feeds. In the last few days Garcia has shared a meme of Democratic…
The way things stand, obtaining open records from a government agency in Colorado and then going after said government agency if you feel as though you’ve been wrongly denied those records is tough. Jeffrey A. Roberts puts it more bluntly: “Litigate or give up.” That’s how Roberts, executive director of the Colorado…
