Starting with the opening of Beaver Creek last week and ending with shows at Rhinoceropolis and the hi-dive, it was a long weekend in Denver. See photos on the slideshow page, reviews on the Backbeat blog and more photos at On the Edge…
Beaver Creek opened last week, much to the chagrin of the dude above. Photographer Soren McCarty captured the fun. See more photos after the jump…
Emerging from the sweet-smelling smoke cloud left by the medical-marijuana explosion is Toke of the Town, a new national blog dedicated to all things weed. The blog is powered by Village Voice Media, Westword’s parent company and the engine behind geek blog Topless Robot and crime blog True Crime Report…
It’s that time of year again: Time to gather around a table of people you don’t know or don’t like, shovel uninspiring food into your face and then retire to the couch and wait for the Tryptophan to get working. But what if it wasn’t that way? What if you…
The lifts started turning at Vail on Friday, and photographer Soren McCarty was there. See more photos after the jump…
We stopped by the Art Institute’s Rail Jam on Saturday, and it was pretty sweet: Lots of people, lots of rail-jamming, and a festive atmosphere, as evidenced by the photo above. For more such photos, check out Aaron Thackeray’s slideshow…
The Rail Jam took over Cap Hill, Metroboom partied for charity, Puscifer rocked the Paramount, and on it went. See photos from a busy weekend in Denver on the slideshow page, and read reviews of Puscifer and Sun Circle on the Backbeat blog…
You don’t expect much from your daily-newspaper sports columnists these days. Sentences that make sense, some well-placed punctuation, maybe a bad pun or two. But while our expectations have been lowered over the years by the likes of Woody Paige and Skip Bayless and whoever else shows up in the…
ESPN Sports Guy and Broncos bandwagon driver Bill Simmons is in Denver tonight, for the last stop on his fall book-signing tour. If you have or want a copy of his new tome, The Book of Basketball, get to the LoDo Tattered Cover sometime before 5 p.m. and stand in…
We’re sitting on two more tickets to tonight’s Littleton screening of Warren Miller’s new flick, so it’s time to give them away. In honor of yesterday’s list of the best ski movies of all time, leave a comment on this post — including a valid email address — saying what…
There was a time when a town’s sports geeks would line up only for the stars themselves. In the age of Internet stardom, though, it’s the guy who tells jokes about the stars who attracts the Sharpie-wielding masses — like tonight, when Bill Simmons, ESPN’s Sports Guy, stops by the…

Next Thursday, just as you’re waking up from your turkey-induced coma and reaching for your fourth piece of pie, the Broncos will welcome the New York Giants into their homes and then try to slaughter them. (Just like the pilgrims! How fitting!) But while the Broncos are surely glad to…

On the Edge was on the scene at the Ski and Snowboard Expo this weekend — and not just to shoot our mouths off and shoot photos. Our street team was busy handing out raffle tickets for a pair of new (although last year’s model) K2 Apache Xplorers and Marker…
The Micro Wrestling Federation threw down at the Oriental on Friday night. See Aaron Thackeray’s photos on the slideshow page…
Because that would have been swell. Either way, it was a wild weekend in Denver, with midgets wrestling and people trying out for The Real World at Hooters and bodies flying at the Ski Expo and dance-music kids dancing at Cervantes and lots of other shit we don’t even know…

The RE:CONVERGENCE dance-music fest took over Cervantes this weekend. See Aaron Thackeray’s photos on the slideshow page…

Pilots are casual enough as it is. Whether explaining why you’ve been sitting on the tarmac for 45 minutes or forecasting the Hail-Mary-inducing turbulence ahead, they’re always so relaxed. It’s as if they’re unaware that they’re guiding a massive piece of metal through the sky. And now we know they’re…
