Fall comes on under a curtain of darkness and, conversely, a celebration of the harvest and beautiful angled sunlight; this week’s calls for entry occur somewhere around the place where it all intersects, suggesting Halloween, colorful ofrendas, wine labels and sharp visions from behind the lens…
On Sunday night, R-U Engaged covered Boulder’s eleven B-cycle kiosks in “yarny knitted goodness,” as organizer the Man in Black describes. The group’s mission is to bring greater awareness to good causes via yarn-bombing. They’ve also set up a QR-code scavenger hunt in which participants can win one of five…
Lil Wil first told us about his Dougie way back in 2007. Then last year, Cali Swag District promised to teach us how to Dougie — but the thing is, they never really did. They just sang about how the dance could get ladies on your jock and whatnot. This…
If, like us, you spent some of your Labor Day weekend trying on winter gear in stifling heat at the Ski Rex and Sniagrab sales, here’s a quick reminder that the day after Labor Day is a great time to buy summer gear. Gotta love living in topsy-turvy Colorado, right?…
Consensus can be a tough thing to find among the disparate factions of the cycling community in Denver — Critical Mass, the Cherry Creek bike trail and the use of gears are some common areas of contention — but it appears there is at least one thing we all can…
We told you last week that things were about to pick up, so hopefully you didn’t blow all your hard earned cash on mimosas this weekend, because there is a ton of great content to highlight this week. We’ve got not one, but two different pieces of zombie media –…
For a couple of years running, there has been, bar none, no cooler holiday light display in town than Lonnie Hanzon’s Hudson Holiday extravaganza — and certainly none even close to capturing the mod psychedelia of Hanzon’s efforts — so when we got word that the show can’t go on…
One artist in the RiNo Art District helped continue the recent wave of creativity coming out of River North on Friday night. Megafauna, a newish boutique shop that caters to local artists, opened just shy of four months ago at 27th and Larimer streets just above the Meadowlark. On Friday,…
If you’re anything like me, there comes a point during the summer where you pretty much stop giving a shit what you look like. It’s too hot to wear anything but those jean shorts you cut off around May that are now so thin that people can see your actual…
Word’s come down that the annual Hudson Holiday lighting extravaganza, designed by Lonnie Hanzon and bankrolled by the Museum of Outdoor Arts, is no more — and I’m telling you, I am crushed. That’s because I’m not only a holiday light-show junkie, but also a lover of the arts, and…
We generally try not to let our hipster cynicism and pessimism override us here at Show and Tell, but there’s no way around the truth of hindsight. Now that it’s September, and the official Summer movie season is over, we know: The tentpole Summer movies of 2011 sucked, and sucked…
Denver’s public pools have been closed for almost a month already, and if you don’t wanna fork over the cash for one last hurrah at Water World, what do you do? Baby pools in the yard suck, and chances are, if you have your own actual pool in your yard,…
We all know that radical Islamic Muslim extremist terrorists hate freedom — but do your children know? For any child born after 9/11, there’s the danger not only that they might forget, but that they might not even know how to hate and fear other cultures, and for that problem,…
!xeR ikS dna bargainS You know you’re a Coloradoan if the recent late summer temperatures approaching triple digits have you dreaming of powder days and wondering if your ski pants still fit. Join the club at either Sniagrab or Ski Rex this weekend for discounts up to 75 percent off…
Perhaps because of our dependence on sight to warn us of oncoming danger, humans have an elemental fear of the obscured; you may have overcome your anxieties about what lives underwater and of the dark separately, but if you think you’re over it, I invite you to take a nice…
September is finally here, and we all know what that means — well, nothing, really, but it does mean the changeover to fall is just a few weeks away. In itself, that’s nothing to worry about, but if you’ve been holed up all summer and haven’t gone out for some…
You know that scene in “Serial Mom” when Kathleen Turner’s character beats the juror to death with a phone receiver because she’s wearing white shoes after labor day? Well, things are luckily not that dramatic at Sunday’s Labor Day Annual White Party thrown by 3Deep Productions and a slew of…
GrowHaus, the community farm in Elyria-Swansea, just unveiled its state-of-the-art hydroponics farm. Once it’s fully installed, the organic (though not-yet-certified) greenhouse facility will grow a thousand heads of lettuce a month. It will be the largest lettuce growing facility of its kind — an organic, soil-less system called NGS, short…
Some people. One minute, you’re on the Cherry Creek Path enjoying a leisurely commute on your bicycle, the next you’re inches away from getting mowed down by some prick in Spandex without even the common decency to announce his presence. It happens to Bree Davies almost every day, and clearly…
If you nerded out on the EpicMix app while skiing or snowboarding at the Vail Resorts last season and love to boast on Facebook about just how sick your “sick days” are by posting photos and status updates from the mountain, then EpicMix 2.0 is just for you, adding EpicMix…
Nobody is really a fan of Netflix’s rate increase, but if you’ve been holding off selling the children into slavery for the price hike, you might want to start hitting up Craigslist, because it’s about to hit you hard. Thankfully, you’ve probably still got a little time before your bank…
It’s finally here: The footage that Ken Kesey and his band of Merry Pranksters shot on their 1964 coast-to-coast trip on psychedelic bus Further has been made into a full-length film. Magic Trip: Ken Kesey’s Search for a Kool Place screens on Thursday, August 30, at the Boulder Theater; we…
