As people who think about, talk about, write about, listen to and make music, it shouldn’t be surprising to find that the most common (and mutually favorite) topic of conversation among us is the same: “What are you listening to right now?” Stick a quarter in us, and, boy, wouldn’t…
The lovely old building a 777 East 17th Avenue has been home to many restaurants over the past few decades: the French Quarter (which explains the New Orleans look), the Peacock, the Dome, Majorca (where the owners commissioned an exorcism), Toby’s and, finally, J.R.’s, a legendary gay bar in town…
Another week, another batch of great shows on tap. We’ve got all of the shows listed in our concert calendar if you’ve prefer to take a more hands-on approach to planning your itinerary. If you’re looking for a more curated experience, however, as always, we’ve put together a list of…
Welcome to the weekend! We made it. And as we already noted in Dance Card, there’s an extra hour for you to enjoy. Depending upon how hard you go, this will either give you more time to imbibe or an extra hour to sleep off the effects of the night…
The old house at 1515 Madison Street has gone through several incarnations since it was the elegant Normandy, a French restaurant run by Pierre Wolfe. Among other ventures, it housed both PS 1515 and the Pink Elephant — where cops busted burlesque dancers. Recently, there were plans to open a…
Think back on last night — or even better, last weekend. How did you spend your Halloween? Was it wild? Wonderful? Just weird? Chances are you probably invoked a bit of all three holiday spirits during your costumed festivities, and maybe you attracted some attention along the way. These people…
There’s been a lot of buzz about Tom’s Urban 24, the 24-hour restaurant at the edge of Larimer Square that opened just in time to become a hip Halloween haunt. But that was far from the only development on the dining scene in October. More than a dozen new restaurants…
So you’re a beer fan — but are you a connoisseur? If you not only drink good beer but revel in the art of craft, keep reading. In conjunction with the 2012 Denver Web Awards, Westword’s annual celebration of the best and brightest projects in digital Denver, we’re launching a…
We here at Show and Tell never expected — not even in our wildest dreams — to type the words “sexy Lorax” anytime soon. But that’s what just happened. And you know why? Because “sexy” is the costume trend that will never die. Not even your sweetest, most sacred childhood…
As people who think about, talk about, write about, listen to and make music, it shouldn’t be surprising to find that the most common (and mutually favorite) topic of conversation among us is the same: “What are you listening to right now?” Stick a quarter in us, and, boy, wouldn’t…
Halloween is the time where it’s acceptable to wallow in the creepy, the crawly, the dark, and the macabre. Sounds like the themes of heavy metal, year-round! Here then, are those most spine-tingliest metal album covers, for your All Hallow’s Eve viewing pleasure. Step inside… See also: – The 25…
Update: Congratulations to Cerealluna and salmonavenger. You’ve each won twenty tickets to Hollywood Theaters. Fore the rest of you, keep your eyes out: This will be a regular contest in the future. Original post: We’ll cut straight to the chase: Movies are one of this planet’s greatest pleasures, and there’s…
Rockbar closed its doors after last call on Saturday night — after an epic party full of costumed customers. After more than six years, the hipster hangout — whose liquor-license renewal was denied — rang out its final night in style, with hundreds of patrons lining up outside for a…
Every year, this city goes ape over the Denver Gorilla Run. The annual event raises money for the Mountain Gorilla Conservation Fund by pairing humans with gorilla costumes and setting them free on foot. Photographer Brandon Marshall was along for the fun on Saturday, and brought back these photos of…
The genius part of the Church’s Friday-night party theme — Naughty Tricks and Sexy Treats — is that the majority of Halloween costumes can be adapted to fit it. And they did: Hundreds of costumed party people flocked to the nightclub to dance, drink and enter the Church’s $1,000 costume…
Triad Dragons know how to throw a party. Over the weekend, they threw a small country. The massive annual costume party that is HallowFreak’nWeen took over the National Western Complex on Saturday with more than forty electronic acts and thousands of dressed-up (and dressed-down) ravers celebrating both sin and salvation…
Lola celebrated its tenth birthday on Saturday with a combination fall fiesta/Halloween bash. Sadly, the promised donkey was a no-show; too bad-tempered, we hear. But everyone who made the party — complete with a pig roast and plenty of live music — was in good, if spooky, spirits. See also:…
At Halloween, what’s better than a haunted house? How about a haunted hotel? Over the weekend, Kevin Larson Presents took over the Hyatt Regency in the Denver Tech Center for the fourth annual Haunted Hotel party. Spread across multiple floors, the spooky celebration featured live music and art as more…
Happy Monday, amigos. Hope you didn’t go too hard this past weekend — though, judging from the pics from Rockbar’s last call, some of you apparently did — because there’s at least four truckloads of shows (including Ryan Adams acoustic set at Boulder Theater tonight) going down this week, which…
Less than a year after Ambria opened on the 16th Street Mall in the former home of Ling & Louie’s, the last vestiges of its time there are about to disappear. It was a wild twelve months for Ambria, which opened last November, kicked its starting chef to the curb…
Installing a water softener is supposed to improve the quality of the wet stuff flowing into your house. But that’s not the way it worked out for Nick and Roxanne Cattaneo. After paying for a new system, they felt that their water had an unpleasant smell — and no wonder,…
Welcome to the weekend, amigos! Ah, yes, we finally made it. Is it just us, or has this seemed like the longest week ever? Ah, maybe it’s just the weather. Whatever the case, it’s in the rearview now, and it’s time to blow off some steam. Drinks are on the…
