The 2007 Sierra Mist Major League Soccer All-Star Game, taking place tonight at 7 p.m. at the splendid Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, was supposed to trumpet the arrival of Sir David of Beckham to America. Though this rumor was never confirmed, it was widely reported, and many assumed it to…
It’s hard to believe that pink ceramic penguins and fuzzy hyper-colored landscape paintings could contribute to a topic as weighty as global warming.

Don’t dismiss Fergie as just another dopey pop star.

Last month she signed a $4 million deal with Candie’s clothing that reportedly calls for her to drop the…
Shawn Lukitsch, co-owner of the North Carolina independent production company Agency Films, will never forget the first time he hopped a train. He was in Milwaukee, and his roommate had just skipped town with the rent money. So Lukitsch went down to the snowy railyard and jumped on a train…
Gravel-voiced street musician turned stage artist Jason Webley oozes a Tom Waits vibe, but don’t tell him that. The busking accordionist is clearly his own creation, known for leading Andy Kaufman-style audience-participation parades (one Webley-led public takeover of a Seattle water fountain got him banned from Bumbershoot), using a coin-filled…
Who doesn’t love Frida Kahlo? The woman was an icon, born to produce beauty, so it’s only fitting that Denver steps up to celebrate what would have been her 100th birthday, had she not died in 1954. Studio Bead’s celebration — Beads, Braids, Brows — took place on Thursday and…
“It’s not your typical fashion show,” says Indie Six’s Angela Dixon — which may be the understatement of the year.

“The truth of the matter is that history really does repeat itself,” says Elizabeth Cook-Lynn, a Crow Creek Sioux writer and scholar. “America has become a place where there is no middle ground. There are many dangerous countries in this world. America is now one of them.” She’ll explain why…
Although I moved to Denver for the mountains, my daily life tangles me up often enough that I rarely make it past the city limits. Sadly, I don’t even think about what I’m missing until something like TrailFest 2007 comes along. Starting today at 7 a.m. with a pancake breakfast…
“Do you believe in fairies? Say quick that you believe. If you believe, clap your hands!” One can only imagine what response Peter Pan’s famous lines will evoke when they’re uttered on screen under the stars of Cheesman Park during tonight’s city-sponsored Movies in the Parks screening of the fanciful…

The magical hour is almost here, and everyone is itching to know what happens. Is Severus Snape an evil double agent who murdered Albus Dumbledore in cold blood, or is there some greater reason for his betrayal? What will happen to Hogwarts? For that matter, what will happen to Harry,…
The worst thing anyone can ever say about Aurora’s annual KidSpree outdoor festival for children is that it’s hot out there — but if you bring plenty of water and sunscreen, you should be fine. Offering more than sixty activities for all ages on a generous spread in Bicentennial Park…

The over-thirty crowd loves to complain that members of the younger generation have no clue what’s happening in the world — but when one of the junior contingent actually pays attention to the news, there can be hell to pay. I learned this lesson after my wife, Deb, and I…
“You’ve got to pick a good mix of rockin’ and something that will please the crowd,” Pavlo tells me. “It’s not about how good you can sing; it’s about getting the crowd’s attention and rocking it.” I ask him what he’s going to sing, and he tells me it’s a…
Summer survival depends on barbecue. The grill sits there every day, luring you from your hot kitchen and complicated recipes. Marinated steaks, chicken breasts on the bone, ribs, kabobs, salmon, swordfish — mmmm. Barbecue is a rite of passage, and the Cook Street Culinary School of Denver will take avid…
No one could ever master the 7,000-foot ascent of the Mount Evans Hill Climb like Bob Cook. The tall, skinny cyclist with wire-framed glasses and even more wiry legs won the race for five consecutive years. At the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, he had the highest oxygen intake…
Tonight Denver’s hotties and high-rollers will all converge in one place: Riverfront Park, at 16th and Little Raven streets.
