In addition to making feature-length flicks like STOP… Hammer Time!, Denver-based snowboard film crew SixEleven Productions releases weekly video episodes in its Ride With Us series every Sunday during snowboard season, which — now that Loveland, Arapahoe Basin, and Wolf Creek are all open — is officially now. This week’s…
There’s something wrong with the Les Paul. I fumble with the knobs that control the guitar’s volume and tone; I switch between the pickups; I try like mad to coax a discernible sound from the instrument. But it’s no use — as I plod through the chords of “The Streets…
Robots, soundscapes, bleeps, bloops, futuristic rhythms, bright blue hair, time-traveling sword fighters and you better believe a ninja turtle made an appearance too. Lost Lake’s usual Friday night Soulfax Remedy featuring the Fathers of Huey dance party took a Halloween-inspired turn for the intergalactic this Friday with their Sci-Fi dance…
While tickets to Saturday night’s showing of cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Landmark Esquire sold out more than a month ago, plenty of people still showed up looking for tickets. Westword photo intern Teal Nipp was one of the lucky ones with tickets to the midnight…
If you are 17 or younger, here’s a way to have your Halloween and get an education, too: The Denver Museum of Nature and Science has announced that it will offer any kid dressed like a “vicious fish or other Amazon creature” this weekend free admission to the museum, including…
It used to be that every November, for many years, you could begin to count the days until Chanukah, like clockwork, with the arrival of the Robert E. Loup Jewish Community Center’s Leah Cohen Festival of Jewish Books and Authors. But three years ago, the JCC’s in-house Mizel Center for…
I’m not going to lie; I am kind of over this whole haunted house thing. Enough of these cackling teenagers asking me to play games and telling me that I smell good. “Do ya wanna play?” Play what? It’s way too dark in here for Dungeons and Dragons. Oh wait,…
It’s been dumping at Wolf Creek, a perfect excuse to get your tricks and treats on the slopes this weekend: Saturday is opening day, and 10 inches of new snow in the last few days means the Treasure, Bonanza, and Nova lifts will all be running. Early season lift tickets…
Now that Denver’s hallowed annual 16th Street Mall Zombie Crawl has gotten the nod from the Guinness Book of World Records and we’ve surely become the Zombie Capital of the World, doesn’t it seem like a shame to just pack up your Zombie gear until next year? The Halloween streets…
We don’t know how Valerie Gaddis-Arellano, who works for the Sage Group’s Second Home Restaurant in Cherry Creek, finds the time to also be an artist. But she does, and Sage’s Corner Office, where she’s also worked, unveiled this six-panel Warhol-inspired installation, Warhol-Eyesed, that now graces the the sides of…
When it comes to campy-from-the-second-they-hit-theaters genre flicks like Monsters, a movie about aliens that come to earth in the form of glowing mushroom-like things but then are really large also, you basically know right off if you’re going or not. If you’re into the genre, you may. If you’re not,…
It’s not too often that you come across a play that is also a thriller, but the Curious Theatre’s world premier of Astronomical Sunset, by Robert Lewis Vaughan, is just that: According to Curious’ playwright-in-residence Meridith Friedman, it’ll make you “jump in your seat — and that’s really hard to…
It’s finally Halloween weekend, and there are hundreds of events going on this weekend to choose from. While a lot of these events will drain your wallet, it’s still possible to do Halloween on the cheap. If you’re not a fan of Halloween, we’ve got plenty of stuff to do…
Spoiler alert: Project Runway fan favorite and Denverite Armando T. “Mondo” Guerra finished second on the reality show to Gretchen Jones, as revealed on Thursday night’s season finale…
In the realm of annoying social networking games that clog up your news-feed with nonsense, it would seem that Mafia Wars, the game that encourages you earn points by stockpiling firearms and putting hits out on your virtual friends, would be the more dangerous. Ironically though, it was the cutesy…
Feeling a little Friday flu coming on? Tomorrow’s a perfectly good day for a sick day, with more than 33 inches of snow at Loveland since opening day on Sunday and Chair 6 opening tomorrow. Loveland opened Nix Nox and Spillway this morning, and will open Keno, Blackjack, Roulette, Straight…
It very well could be. Flickr user How Brown Met Blue has shared this photo of a Calvin and Hobbes mural with the world, and for that, we’re grateful…
In any marital dispute, sometimes you need a little outside input; you think you’re right, they think they’re right — you need someone objective to come in and make the call. Problem is, every time you call in somebody objective, you somehow end up pantsless, in handcuffs and covered in…
Denver Art Museum design curator Darrin Alfred relished the opportunity to reinstall the museum’s architecture and design galleries: It represented a changing of the guard for him and a chance to cast a fresh spotlight on all the collection had to offer. The resulting spread, What Is Modern?, opens at…
Perhaps more than any president in recent memory, and like so many truly terrible people, George W. Bush was fond of playing up his godliness — apparently, if you fold your hands and screw up your face like you’re solving a Rubik’s Cube for long enough, that’ll get you the…
Denver has some amazing coffee shops and some of the country’s best roasts to boot. Amazingly, people don’t seem to pick up on the connection as often as they should — many shops in town roast their own coffee. It might seem counterintuitive for people that hit up the chains,…
Yes, it’s true. Myspace is, amazingly, still around. The advertising dumpster of a social networking site has got a fresh, new look and some new features to keep the tweens busy in between facebooking and sexting and… I don’t know, does anyone between the ages of thirteen and nineteen do…
