If Boulder is the “foodiest” town in the country — a declaration made by Bon Appetit magazine — then can its cocktail scene be far behind? You’ll have the opportunity to judge for yourself tonight, when bar stars from Aji, Hapa Sushi, Oak at 14th, the Pinyon, the Kitchen, Riff’s…

Mondays at the Denver Botanic Gardens are worth savoring. It’s quiet and still, and you just might have the whole place to yourself (unless you’re overrun by a school group, which should be considered an act of God). This time of year, of course, you could be confined to the…
There isn’t really a prize, at least in the traditional sense, for winning the Comedy Works Funny Final Four, a competition that pits four teams of Denver comedians against one another in a series of one-night shows. “The prize is you get another show,” explains Jodee Champion, captain of Team…
In an age when film has become a commodity easily bought and traded online, it’s nice to be able to appreciate a classic work as it was meant to be seen — on the silver screen. That’s the real beauty of the Denver FilmCenter’s ongoing Rare Imports Series, which features…
What’s the most definitive Disney film musical? Many would say Beauty and the Beast, which is why it’s no surprise that the prettified fairy-tale-with-music turned into what’s probably the most successful attempt to adapt Disney to the Broadway stage. It’s a downright classic — from its near-perfect Menken and Ashman…

Mondo got robbed. Pretty much everyone who followed Season 8 of Project Runway agrees: Denver designer and runner-up Mondo Guerra should have taken it all, especially after breaking our hearts with the on-air revelation that in addition to being an incredibly talented, lovable character, he’s HIV-positive. His loss didn’t dampen…
Mary Horrocks, curator of visual art and education at the Dairy Center for the Arts in Boulder, is fascinated by the way her fellow Coloradans merge sport, pastime, recreation, transportation and art in their daily lives. This month, she’s made the Dairy into a temple to the most beloved symbol…
It’s always a happening when Super Ordinary Gallery throws a show, but in the case of New Gothic, an exhibit of collages by Mario Zoots featuring work most commonly seen in cyberspace, it’s maybe just a little bit more so. Though the DIY renaissance man is also known for video…

Set your DVR to record the Red Bull Signature Series on March 24 at 11 a.m. MST, when NBC will air footage from the Red Bull Cold Rush freeskiing competition. The event concluded yesterday at Silverton Mountain, and the photos and video teasers from the last two days have us…
Because I grew up in a time when we listened to music by the album side, the idea of the rock musical — essentially a string of related songs hung loosely over a plot — is easy for me to accept. Still, you have to wonder, as I did while…
The sell-out crowd at yesterday’s 25th annual Colorado Business Committee for the Arts annual awards luncheon was treated to planned entertainment by local arts organizations, as well as some unscripted entertainment from Governor John Hickenlooper, whose introduction of Mayor Michael Hancock turned into an R-rated joke about showers…or something. But…
Stan Yan always had a fascination with comics. Even before he understood what they really were, he would draw stick figures in frames. And since then, he’s been a bit obsessed. “All of the stories I think up in my head are in comic form,” he says. Yan recently took…
