When two people somehow switch bodies with a little help from a magical fountain, high-jinks must ensue, and those high-jinks must be followed by life lessons about love and friendship. It’s a formula as old as time — which is not to say it can’t work, and if there are…

We unequivocally love the Berkeley district’s Horseshoe Market for a myriad of reasons, but mostly it’s a matter of the spirit of the thing, which is old and modern all at the same time: Its mix of vintage wares, unique handmades and trendy food and drink on wheels fits the…

It’s the beginning of August, which also means it’s the start of the end of summer. In just a few short months we’ll all be hunkering inside complaining about how cold it is, completely forgetting that just a few months prior we were doing the same thing, complaining about how…
Geeks, as we all know from Anthony Michael Hall’s romance outcome in The Breakfast Club, have a hard time getting the girl.

Denver artist Marie Vlasic is no Shrinking Marie, and it shows in her striking work: full frontal, super-real portraits that don’t shy away from anything, make your jaw drop and sing the body electric.

Even a reporter for a high school paper will tell you, it’s kind of a basic rule of journalism: Get more than one source and don’t just print anonymous rumors. It’s what separates a news source from your gossipy aunt. But for some reason, sports journalism is more than happy…
The ’80s were not a kind time to James Bond. Always an actor-driven franchise, it rolled into the decade in the waning years of Roger Moore, who would from The Spy Who Loved Me on through Octopussy and A View to Kill, his last entry, see declining profitability in the…

There’s no denying that what Crested Butte couple Erica and Mateo Hogan is doing in Costa Rica is pretty cool: Spurred by their love of the rain forest, they bought up some 300 acres of it and created a fully sustainable Swiss Family Robinson-style tree-house community complete with zip-lines and…
We all know enough to expect the standard-issue turgid pectoral muscles and flowing locks from romance novels — but what if the romance also involves vampires, war and action of the not-necessarily-hot-and-sweaty variety? It will tomorrow at Fresh City Life’s Mucho Mojo, where urban fantasy writers Nicole D. Peeler, Kimberly…
