The death of David Bowie last Sunday night has inspired a glittery torrent of online appreciations and remembrances. Facebook quickly became the venue where we could face the strange change of a world without the cultural icon, but once we’ve finished reading the heartfelt reflections and ogling old photos of Bowie…
We’re hesitant to tell you about Pon Pon, because once you know about this boozy, beautiful, artistic spot at 2538 Walnut Street, it will be harder for us to get a seat at the bar. Still, the place is so great we can’t resist sharing the news. Paul Garcia and…
Last month, the Open Media Foundation celebrated its twelfth anniversary with an expanded version of its usual first Friday Open Music Sessions.

A Denver-centric art exhibit opens tomorrow at the historic Crystal Palace in downtown Aspen, and it could be the coolest show ever in that mountain town. ALL THE FEELS will feel a little something like the “nostalgia of music that still tickles the hair on the back of your neck, the…
We stepped onto the rooftop of the Sheraton Downtown recently to see the New Year’s Eve fireworks, all lined up in careful rows, excitedly awaiting their chance to blow. The roof was unforgivingly slick, and clear tarps were put down to protect the massive amount of pyro-technic engineering marvels that…
This list involves a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. The artists who ignore the gallery and take to the streets to paint their murals are among the most hard-working in the city. Narrowing it down to ten is a near impossible task, but subjectively, we have chosen our favorite…
Mary Christmas! With the holidays just around the corner, it’s definitely time to to get a few gifts to stuff in the stocking of that special stoner in your life. And we’ve got some ideas, just in case you forgot. Again. From socks to cannabis shots to gold rolling papers,…
2015 was one hell of a year for concert fans in the Mile High City. We saw alternative hip-hop make big venues home, bore witness to The Tank, an acoustic miracle in the middle of the Colorado desert, saw more shows at Red Rocks than any season in history, even…
Stepping into the historic 715 Club, at the corner of Welton and 26th in Five Points, is like stepping into another era. The entire bar is a museum of old Denver, with mementos from the past of both the city and original owner Charles Cousins hidden beneath a thirty-year-old layer…
A jovial group of marijuana smokers and comedy fans romped their way through town last night on the maiden voyage of the MassRoots Tacky Light Tour, a more organized (but not much more) version of the impromptu light-and-light-up tours that Coloradans have taken on their own for generations. Sam Tallent and Aaron…
Talk about a sign of the times! Like modern poets, some marquee writers are masters of minimalism, capturing our culture in a few giant, black block letters. Others create the equivalent of urban fortune cookies that we must crack. No matter the motivation, we always enjoy stumbling on clever marquee…
Trev Rich will perform at his first headlining show this Thursday, December 10, at the Bluebird Theater. Coming off of the success of his fourth studio album Heights 3, Rich just returned home to Denver from a U.S. tour with Joe Budden. Formerly known as Rocky, Trev Rich is a local…
In your high school ceramics class, the teacher was always watching to make sure that students weren’t crafting pipes or ashtrays, but this workshop encouraged it. The first-ever Puff, Pass & Pottery class was an experiment in art and cannabis consumption, with the goal of creating an an ashtray comparable…
Many Denverites got the same chill yesterday watching the official video premiere of Those Who Can’t — the new show on TruTV from the Grawlix, the comedy squad comprising local heroes Ben Roy, Adam Cayton-Holland and Andrew Orvedahl — as they did watching Rateliff and the Night Sweats on Fallon: It’s…
Thanksgiving makes us all sentimental about our home state, and we felt it was our duty to show all the transplants what to really be thankful for in Colorado. With everything from landscapes to sunsets, fixies to craft beer, mountains to Broncos fans, city skylines to street-art…and legal cannabis, of course,…
Street art beautifies Denver in a significant way, taking some of our city’s ugliest spaces — including problem graffiti walls — and transforming them into public art galleries that are respected and revered by the community. Although the street-art season will come to an end with the colder weather, the scene is…
It ain’t easy being a weed icon. Okay, maybe it is. In the spirit of stoner celebs making regular stops in the Mile High City, Redman and Ky-Mani Marley will be performing at City Hall For Three A Light growers’ manual book release this Friday November 20. Illegal Pete’s will be catering…
“I met my daughter this year,” Chance the Rapper told the crowd last night at The Fillmore. The crowd responded with love vibrations that shook the street. His current tour, called Family Matters, is chock-full of sentiment from the 24-year-old Chicago rapper, as he welcomed the birth of his daughter…
The best Sunday possible in Colorado: You arrive at a remote farm location, drink tea, do over an hour of yoga with a hard-core instructor, then eat a delicious, locally-sourced brunch cooked by a top chef — and smoke weed. In their second too-good-to-be-true event, Mason Jar Event Group, Headquarters…
Nick French has a dozen beehives on seventy acres of a Colorado hemp farm. With these bees, he has harnessed the power of three super foods to create his Colorado Hemp Honey. Containing whole CBD hemp extract, as well as essential oils for flavoring and aroma therapy, the locally grown…
It couldn’t be done, they said. It’ll be a blizzard, and kids will be sliding down the ramp, they warned. Well, surprise, surprise — it has yet to snow in the metro area and the first ever Red Rocks show on October 31 was held in beautiful, mid-50s degree weather…
It’s that time of year again! Halloween costumes say a lot about the type of person you are: You can dust off your old witch hat and take the easy route, or try something new and daring. But be careful: It’s easy to make a mistake that could haunt you…
