Did you know Denver has an indoor professional lacrosse team? Of course you did! Which is why the ticket gods have bestowed upon us three sets of four tickets each to the Colorado Mammoth’s opening game of the season, against the Washington Stealth…
Leading today’s Denver Blogs round-up is a post that not-so-subtly explains the realities of paying for graphic design. You can have great and fast graphic design, but you’ll get what you pay for, opines the Denver Egotist, but originally created by graphic designer Colin Harman on his blog…
It’s your Monday edition of Denver Blogs, with a trio of interesting blog posts from around town. First up, a crack dealer selling to the people he was hired to protect: Jared Jacang Maher of Face the State (and formerly Westword) brings us this story of Lee Wright, a security…
Because most of us can only stand the talking heads of the NFL pre- and post-game shows in two- or three-minute increments, we asked Broncos fans leaving the 33-28 loss to San Diego on Sunday at Invesco what they thought of the season. In three words or less. Photos and…
Back at work this morning but not quite ready for it? Perhaps you’re mourning the Broncos’ season. At least you’re not a Rams fan; last night’s collapse was much worse than an entire season of abject failure. Anyway, kill some time by checking out our weekend coverage…
We’re ready to hit the lights and hit the bars, or something like that, for New Year’s Eve. But first we’ve done some heavy blog reading today and present these three fascinating stories…
Before the Nuggets beat the Timberwolves 119-113 last night in Minnesota, Nuggets head coach George Karl said his team considered trading for hot-shooting Timberwolves star Kevin Love this past summer. According to reports, Karl said the organization asked about a possible trade for Love, a 6′ 10″ power forward…
Sound Tribe Sector 9 opened up the first of a three-night residency at the Fillmore Auditorium last night, selling out the venue. If you don’t get tickets for tonight’s show, you can’t blame us! (New Year’s Eve is sold-out.) Photographer Aaron Thackeray was at the Fillmore last night and brings…
If you’re up this early, you likely weren’t at the “old school” industry holiday party at Jet Hotel & Lounge last night, hosted by Greg Bloom. Which is why you can check out these photos from last night without a single twinge of morning-after regret or under the effects of…
Frank Bush, the man who oversees the worst passing defense in the NFL — that of the Houston Texans — saw his squad defeated by Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos on Sunday, and a writer at our sister paper in Houston is taking Bush, and his boss Frank Gary…
Last week Westword published “Apocalypse No,” an Off Limits piece on the 2012: The True Mayan Prophecy, a documentary recently released by PeaceJam founders Ivan Suvanjieff and Dawn Engle. In addition to the story, Westword presented the documentary in its entirety at westword.com/2012truemayanprophecy, viewable if one makes a $1.99 donation…
Christmas night is a big bar night for some people — those folks who are back in their home town and who’ve maybe had just a bit too much quality time with family — which is why many bars throw special parties on the 25th of December. Nightlife photographer Aaron…
We’re going to announce our pick for Shmuck of the Year for 2010 on January 3, but before that, we’d like you to cast your vote for your favorite shmuck…
Memorable Christmas gifts are made with love, and in the case of this gent, his Christmas gift is infused with a rap-metal logos of the ’90s and early 2000s. Many of the classic T-shirts are there: the Korn Adidas rip-off and 40 ounces, the Coal Chamber ice cream truck, the…
There will be a few posts between now and next week, but we’ll officially see you back here on Monday, December 27. To play you out, here are two versions of “Blue Christmas,” as requested by Westword food critic Laura Shunk…
A man in his 20s is dead after being shot while in a car this morning in the 2900 block of North Pontiac Street in northeast Denver. Denver Police responded to a report of a shooting at 9:58 a.m. at 2915 North Pontiac, to find a black male in his…
While they’re pretty funny for a few weeks every year, there’s very little about an ugly Christmas sweater that’s going to make you seem “cool” to the opposite sex. But God love ’em, a few people donned sweaters last night at Suite 200, perhaps as some strategic holiday peacocking. Jonathan…
Not to toot our own horn or anything, but it’s already time to start gearing up for Westword’s Artopia on February 19, that epic, five-venue block party of art, music and awesome. This year, the folks over in marketing have told us we can put a pair of people on…
To those of you who have the wherewithal to take photos like this in a bar, thank you. “Drunk octopus wants to fight you” is an example of the kind of observant commentary the best drinkers make while drinking…
On Sunday, Nuggets Center Chris Andersen magically appeared at the J.W. Marriott in Cherry Creek North, dressed as probably the most blinging-ass Santa ever. Here, the Birdman interacts with a young fan. But look a little closer. Is Birdman offering some sage advice to this little emulator? Or perhaps staring…
Some breaking news for you in our Denver blogs daily post. Traffic in both directions on Interstate 70 has been closed at the Eisenhower Tunnel due a spill of an estimated 1,000 pounds of a liquid blasting agent. Look out below!…
An employee of the Monaco Grocery on East Colfax is dead after being shot last night during an attempted robbery…
