Come April, Boulder’s renowned Frequent Flyers Productions aerial dance troupe will stage The Fabulous Freaky Flyers and their Flying Machines, an up-in-the-air homage to the ’60s, at the Lakewood Cultural Center. But while you’re waiting, rabid baby boomers and retro-fanatics, the company is offering die-hards an opportunity to bid for…

Last week we met up with the old crew and were introduced to Deena, the “dirty chihuahua” (Sammi’s nickname, not ours) who came attached to Snooki. This week we pick back up with the Jersey Shoreans mid-fight, with Jwoww and Sammi coming to actual blows as Ronnie and MVP (Michael “The…
Keeping Enemies Closer, the first novel from Littleton writer L.D. Stevens, is billed as a thriller, but it’s arguable that it’s closer to a fantasy.

The 68th Golden Globe Awards will be handed out this Sunday. It’s a contractual obligation that all televised awards shows do not reward quality, and this will be no different; plenty of shitty movies will wind up being allowed to slap Golden Globe Winner on their DVD packaging. Of course,…

I don’t know about you, but when it finally got cold this winter, I had to pull all my sweaters out of mothballs or, rather, lack of mothballs. Which means that some of them came out of storage holey. Do you have holey sweaters, too? Or a favorite woolen scarf…
If you’ve ever been to a Burlycute show, then you pretty much know what to expect when these burlesque beauties put together a production: Sheer insanity. Also, hot girls taking off their clothes amidst the sheer insanity. And madame/emcee Cora Vette (aka Reyna Von Vett) is the glue that keeps…
The Festivus Film Festival is getting ready to kick off tonight at the Bug Theatre, and we figured it was as good as time as any to dig into the festival schedule and try to find some stuff worth seeing. With somewhere around 60 films on display, there should be…

Breck’s Ullr Fest Parade is an annual winter spectacle dating back to 1963, and it’s one of the craziest events in Colorado. This year’s parade theme? “Still Crazy After All These Years.” When the parade gets underway on North Main Street today at 4:30 p.m. watch for half-naked revelers freezing…
The Flying O.H.N.O. Twins do a lot of things, but it’s also kind of hard to explain exactly what they do. Since the end of September, Donald Fodness and Alvin Gregorio’s (they’re the twins, you know) installation Shut Your Face Off has been intriguing and mildly confusing people at the…
Riva Sweetrocket’s lush pastels on paper — which look like oil paintings to the untrained eye — have been delighting Denverites for years.

As anyone who’s crawled the Art District on Santa Fe on First Friday knows, the stretch of Santa Fe Drive between Alameda and Twelfth avenues is filled with talent. So when Dana Cain started planning the second annual Art District Best of 2010, she wanted a discerning eye to judge…
