Welcome to Denver! Click here to see highlights from Sunday afternoon. Between 300 and 500 self-proclaimed anarchists associated with the far-left group Unconventional Action weaved through downtown Denver for several hour this afternoon, in an unscheduled march that blocked numerous streets and intersections. It began around 2 p.m. in conjunction…

At about 11:15 a Denver Department of Corrections bus — the same type used last year to haul away arrested Columbus Day Parade protesters — drove by the Westword offices with a police escort. The windows were covered with mesh, but about a dozen people could be seen in the…

This camera can see a lot more than the Pepsi Center. Do you ever get that funny feeling you’re being watched? Well if you’re anywhere near downtown Denver during the Democratic National Convention, you probably are. Over the past three weeks, the Denver Police Department has quietly rolled out an…

On Monday, the fenced lot in front of the Denver Police Academy at 8895 Montview Boulevard was empty. On Wednesday it was filled with 50-or-so large vans with license plates ranging from California, Nevada and Florida. None of them were marked as police vehicles, but don’t be surprised if they’re…

“You stop that protesting right now or I will turn this press conference around!” This email just came from Westword Editorial Operations Manager Jane Le: I attended the Nancy Pelosi book signing at the Tattered Cover yesterday, and there were PROTESTERS there. The first one was whisked away so quickly…

Thinking of checking out Colorado’s gorgeous scenery this summer? Maybe some mountain lakes? Elk? A raging river or three? Go ahead. Have fun. That’s exactly the type of thing THEY want you to do. They being the pleasant little folk known as the CIA, the Illuminati, the corporate/alien overlords and/or…

The Sheriff of Gitmo on the Platte, Bill Lovingier The temporary detainment facility erected for the DNC – Gitmo on the Platte, as it has been dubbed – was opened up for members of the media this morning in a special tour led by Denver Undersheriff Bill Lovingier. As workers…

Another amusing/terrifying item I noticed in the amusing/terrifying Denver Auditor’s report I read after my amusing/terrifying experience getting chased by a black truck after taking unauthorized photos of Gitmo on the Platte: there’s a secret tunnel that leads outside the (once) secret DNC protester prison. It’ll be just like that…

You’ve got to fight for your right to wear cool protest shirts. A few local anarchists who are helping to coordinate planned disruptions of the Democratic National Convention have been raising funds by selling off these spiffy “Defend Denver” T-shirts. I picked one up myself after being approached by the…

Actually, there were only four Yippies — one for every two journalists desperately trying to fill their DNC quota. The sixty or so younger activists who had also attended the “consulta” gathering of DNC protest groups at the Tivoli center earlier on Sunday wanted nothing to do with the Yippie…

The new issue of Newspeak, Colorado Springs’ alt-alt-publication, hits the stands today with a great Obamaham Lincoln painting by Ron English on the cover. Nice. –Jared Jacang Maher…

Who wants some s’mores? When Judge Marcia Krieger ruled yesterday that the city’s plans for protesters are A-okay, convention planners no doubt breathed a huge sigh of relief that they wouldn’t have to dismantle the massive media tent they’ve erected between the demonstration zone and the Pepsi Center. But the…

Discussion of The Denver Doo Doo Accord is burning up the web-o-sphere! Read about it at Michelle Malkin’s blog, the Denver Post, 5280 Magazine’s blog, the Slapstick Politics blog, and, of course, The Drunkablog. Also, The Rocky Mountain News’ story about the accord that was placed on the paper’s site…

Help! Let us out! It’s so wonky in here we can hardly breathe! The above photo was taken Monday inside the Pepsi Center, during the media walk through. More after the jump. — Jared Jacang Maher…
