So …I love city and state rankings. I even wrote a whole ode to them once. I’m fully aware that they’re complete bullshit, just bait for us desperate blogger-types to suck down and spit out in the form of free publicity for whichever company pulled the alleged statistics out of…
I must admit I had zero idea there was a band called Kidz in the Hall, and was highly disappointed when our photographer told me they had played Cervantes last night. My favorite Canadian sketch group added a ‘z’ to their name? How totally un-Canuck-y of them! Turns out it’s…
Another Monday. Ugh. Not sure if reliving the weekend will make it better or worse, but we don’t have much of a choice, do we? So, without further ado, some shit that happened between last Friday and now: • Kate Levy threw down at the Wrangler’s Sunday Beer Bust. •…
I always liked Georgetown. Pretty campus, cool uniforms, lots of history — what else do you need to know about a team to deem it Elite Eight-bound? But then the tournament started, and Georgetown decided to wet itself against a team that, eighteen hours later, I can’t even remember their…
Are you drunk yet? Well, you should be, presuming your name is Jimmy and you like being hammered before Kathie Lee and Hoda even hit the airwaves. It’s St. Patrick’s Day, after all. You can find tons of shit to do on our St. Paddy’s day event listings. Or, if…
Band of Horses • Co. • 03.16.10 | Ogden Theatre There are certain tricks storytellers use, moves that keep the audience’s minds or livers from getting anxious and hitting the bar. Band of Horses owns a heavy arsenal of those tricks — but we’ll get to that shortly…
I had lunch with my fiancee today, which is good and bad. Good because she for some reason is convinced she wants to marry me. Bad because she always wants to split things. She has this idea that eating an entire cheesesteak sando and french fries in the middle of…
What’d you miss this weekend if you spent the whole time at home Googling “‘Brady Quinn’ and ‘single'”? A lot. Check it out below:…
Bender’s hosted “March of The Zombies II” Fashion Show, with music from Arms Raised, MF KAAOS and Throwaway Sunshine. See photos by Coleen Whitfield on the slideshow page…
The state’s job losses were more gruesome than previously thought, the Post reported yesterday, as updated stats showed an additional 17,000 lost jobs last year. So that’s depressing — especially if you’re one of the people out there looking for work. I meet more and more such people every week,…
Breathe easy, Team Coco: Conan O’Brien’s “Suck on This, NBC!” tour will stop in Denver/Boulder. Conan will do two shows in May: Sunday, May 9 at Boulder’s Macky Auditorium and Monday, May 10 at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, both at 8p.m. From the press release:…
Juliet Wittman writes this week about Slow Food Boulder. On the slideshow page, see photos by Mark Manger from a Slow Food event at Boulder’s Arugula restaurant…
You could practically taste the skepticism when Jason Sheehan wrote about the arrival of Daphne’s Greek Cafe (575 Lincoln Street) in 2007: Denver will get its first outpost of Daphne’s Greek Cafe, a California-based fast-casual chain, on March 19. Since most Greek restaurants are pretty quick and casual, how will…
It was a spring-esque weekend in Denver, but that didn’t stop Nederland from celebrating its favorite Frozen Dead Guy. See photos from that, an Oscar party, and Babes Around Denver on the slideshow page…
See photos from Babes Around Denver’s anniversary party, plus an Oscar party at MCA, on the slideshow page…
Enduring the ear-drum-shattering sounds of a freshmen band is bound to drive any man crazy. And it seems to have done just that to Kent Jones, the band teacher at Louisville’s Monarch High School. According to the Boulder Daily Camera, police are investigating allegations that Jones — fed up with…
In this week’s Westword, Stephen Crout writes about a trip to Phoenician Kabob by the Foodies Eating Diverse and Unusual Platings (FEDUPs). See more photos, by Mark Manger, on the slideshow page…
Do you long to get super hammered after work, loosen your tie, eat half-priced wings and hit on an unsuspecting a totally suspecting bartender until the drink specials run out and it’s time to swerve on home? Well, it’s your liver’s lucky day! Village Voice Media — owner of Westword…
Relive February with some of the best of Aaron Thackeray’s nightlife photography at westword.com/slideshow…
Another busy weekend in Denver, especially for men with unruly facial hair. They gathered at Vine Street Pub for the Denver Chop Month Competition. Photographer Aaron Thackeray was there. Elsewhere, Cobraconda played a burrito place, while Sun Red, Old Radio, Paean and Night of Joy hit the Meadowlark. Happy Monday…
Why drugs? Because they caused this guy to shimmy out his bedroom window and hit a cop with his car when police showed up at his door. They inspired this crazy bitch to deprive hospital patients of vital medicine and infect those same patients with Hep C. And, perhaps worst…
We dispatched Aaron Thackeray, our trusted nightlife photographer, to the Gothic on Thursday for the Alkaline Trio show, and to the Church for a Red Bull-sponsored DJ contest. He came back with photos of strippers on stripper poles. Typical. Thankfully, he also shot what we asked, and the sweat-stained fruits…
