There’s no telling whether Al Stults Jr. was being straight or making a double entendre when he pointed at the chicken breasts and told a Safeway clerk he liked “the large ones,” but one thing is sure: When he got 86’d out of said Safeway, the situation became ridiculous. And…
The Bag Monster is a shameless ham. Speaking with an affected Cookie Monster rasp and standing in the midst of an installation of about 45,000 disposable plastic bags–the amount of bags one person will typically use in a lifetime–in Skyline Park, he’s not shy about confronting passers-by with his cause…
Food, music and a movie, right here in central Denver: What’s not to like? It’s all interrelated at the SoCo Nightlife District’s Moonlight Movie Mondays outdoors in the City Hall amphitheater, 1144 Broadway. Doors open at 6 p.m. for music (tonight, that would be the eclectic Yuzo Nieto), food by…

Everyone is driven by sex. I am, you are, your parents are (or were, at least). Advertising firms know this all too well, and they use sex to sell everything from toothpaste to doggy-poop scoopers. As a society, we’ve come to accept this as a necessary evil in exchange for…
It was damn hot on Saturday, but it felt like a good day to wander, so my friend Cathy and I moseyed over to Tennyson Street to see what we could see. More than just about any other neighborhood shopping district in Denver, Tennyson seems to retain that sleepy, retro…
The entertainment industry is well attuned to reaping the benefits of new technology whenever possible. It’s also well known for its ability to exploit the same technology. Case in point: if you own an iPhone you’ve undoubtedly come across some celebrity-centric apps, ranging from RSS feeds to dedicated Twitter clients…
It’s Monday, and, like Garfield, you hate Mondays. And because the only thing that can cheer you up is either lasagna or a good chuckle at the misfortune of others, we’re bringing you yet another cat-related moment of lulz. In this one, we’re not so much laughing at any actual…
Like some kind of bizarre cross between Braveheart, the original Woodstock and the most flamboyant boot camp of all time, The Warrior Dash in Copper Mountain brings together 350 hyperactive children in adult bodies to don their best Agamemnon-wear, run a formidable obstacle course and get really, really muddy. It…
Like horror movies in general, the trailer of Pirhana 3D, yet another B-flick devoted to America’s favorite scary flesh-eating fish, starts out strong: with ominous music and the old sudden-and-startling-loud-noise trick, it creates a suspenseful mood that builds until about minute one — and then, as all horror movies eventually…

When I first moved to Denver 12 years ago, one of the best things about being a transplant to a new city was the process of discovery: Getting away from the big tourist destinations and digging into the nooks, crannies and far-flung neighborhoods, finding out the kinds of things you…
Denver’s about to experience the best of Vegas, when the legendary Get Back Vegas soul dance party treks from their Beauty Bar to our Beauty Bar, 608 E. 13th Avenue, beginning tonight and continuing every third Friday in the future. Think honkin’ big afros, old-school chic and the best dance…

Yes, please.). Today and tomorrow, you can pick up free raffle tickets…
Denver’s a great place for fans of the big five of genre film (that’s sci-fi, fantasy, horror, exploitation and cult), as every week we get a generous helping of selections to choose from. As usual, we’re rounding up your options for the weekend to come and the following week, and…
The RIP-COREFX — an asymmetrically loaded resistance-training tool being marketed to the masses at tomorrow’s Rip in the Park Event at 9 a.m. in Washington Park — is, according to chief operating officer Jeff Huling, developing into, “a cultural phenomenon, like a cult almost.” Scary. Just in time for that…
Yeah, yeah, I know it’s not even Labor Day yet. But Denver schools are back in session this week, and as far as I’m concerned that means Summer’s over. Which, of course, means it’s time to start thinking about snowboarding.If you’re right there with me, check out Woodward at Copper’s…
Besides having the unlikely ability to simultaneously engage in tennis and espionage, dispensing sage life advice to Theo and Rudy and and being a formidable expert in Jell-O, Bill Cosby knew a thing or two about kids saying the darndest things — but even old Cliff Huxtable might be surprised…
The sign may read “College Fund”, but right now street guitarist Dillon is just trying to pay his rent. He’s only been on the streets of Denver for six months, but plans on spending the rest of his life following his dream of becoming a musician. Editor’s note: Dillion’s story…
Colorado has a long, strange connection to LEGO blocks. In 1965, Denver company Samsonite built the first U.S. LEGO manufacturing plant in Loveland, and now the Louisville-based NetDevil is putting the finishing touches on the massive online game LEGO Universe. Our LEGO lovin’ continues with a special event starting tomorrow…
They are the weird little in-jokes of the Internet, phrases that for whatever reason get latched on to and paired with random images that make them hilarious. We’ve all seen them. Even for the casual, non-troll Internet surfer, memes pop up in the cultural consciousness and, if only for a…
