Lately, there’s been no public progress in trading Carmelo Anthony, making it difficult for fans to commit to the Nuggets despite the team’s recent victory over Kobe Bryant’s Lakers. Meanwhile, Melo’s still sending mixed signals over whether he prefers to move to a winner or ink with a struggling franchise…

We have a goal — to brighten up your week by giving you a chance to win one of five pairs of tickets to see your Colorado Avalanche take on the San Jose Sharks, last year’s playoff opponent, on Wednesday night. How can you qualify? By telling us in the…
Moments from now, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office will return hash it seized from medical marijuana patient Gregory VonAlmen — and Von Almen’s attorney, Rob Corry, believes the decision sets a precedent by establishing that marijuana concentrate and other related products are also protected by Amendment 20, which legalized MMJ…
Our post yesterday about a stage 4 cancer patient whose medical marijuana application was rejected — and then presumably reinstated — because of a new health department policy drew a fiery response to one reader, who decried the sort of bureaucratic decision-making that can leave suffering individuals out in the…
The fall edition of the Caregivers’ Cup is set for this weekend, and the event keeps growing and growing. Organizer Tim Tipton predicts a crowd of 2,000 will attend the extravaganza. But he’s already been caught off-guard by a controversy within the medical marijuana community about the original flier used…
Last night, Aurora Police report that an adult male was shot to death on the 900 block of South Joliet Street, continuing a very bloody period in metro Denver history. By our count, the homicide is at least the sixth since the beginning of November. Check our Mile High Murder…
Chef and Tell, Lori Midson, November 4 A Cry for Yelp Congrats to Lori Midson for her work with Chef and Tell; her positive views of local chefs are usually fun to read. But the profile of Scott Parker, cook at Table 6, misses the mark, however well-intended. Parker’s food…
Returning to Denver Monday, our Off Limits operative hopped on the train at DIA and heard the usual bossiness from Adele Arakawa about how she was “delaying the departure of this train” and Alan Roach cautioning everybody to “hold on.” And then, as the train closed in on the terminal,…
DJ Rockstar Aaron Hooters 1390 South Colorado Boulevard Like most professionals, DJ Rockstar Aaron goes to work every morning. But since his office consists of the entire city, he can be a little tough to track down. You might find him getting his nails done (pink this week) at Posh…
The Hydra, the roller skate-shaped trophy bestowed annually upon the best roller derby team in the country, won’t have far to travel in 2011. It’s now on display at the Denver warehouse that’s home to the Rocky Mountain Rollergirls, who won the 2010 Women’s Flat Track Derby Association Championships –…
When two Austrailian snowboarders robbed a bank in Vail on a whim in 2005, then tipped a cabdriver $20,000 in the midst of a lame and ultimately unsuccessful getaway, the inept heist provided fodder for talk-show monologues for weeks. But the ordeal was no joke for teller Jessica Gunther –…
Let’s start the week with these three Denver blog posts. Denver Stiffs’ fan poster SPORTSFAN encourages readers to sign a petition urging Carmelo to accept a contract extension. Over 200 signatures as of noon… Denver Egotist shares fashion snaps from Christina Kiffney. Colorado Pols shares an e-mail from Dan Maes…
Today, the American Civil Liberties Union announced a formal administrative complaint against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) over an April incident during which dozens of Spanish speakers aboard a Denver charter bus were detained under suspicion of human smuggling. Turns out the riders were citizens on their way to an…
Yard Arteology: The study of neighbors through lawn decoration… Yale Avenue is the dividing line between liberal Harvey Park and conservative Harvey Park South. South of Yale, the faith in conventional values can instantly be seen in the Disneyfication of neighborhood yard art. The Minnie and Mickey Mouse yard art…
This just in: Gorgeous women tend to congregate around rock stars — and judging by Westword photog Aaron Thackeray’s shots, this weekend’s Circa Survive gig at the Summit Music Hall was no exception. Also check out images of bison butchering, H Burger food porn and more on our full-to-bursting slideshow…
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s recent rejection of nearly 2,000 medical marijuana patient licenses over a quiet rule change caused such an uproar that the department promised to temporarily reinstate licenses for around 1,300 MMJ users — among them Larry Shurtleff, who suffers from stage 4 cancer…
We’re busy preparing for tomorrow’s debate between Tom Tancredo and “Ask a Mexican” columnist Gustavo Arellano — and so are many readers requesting tickets. (Click on the link above for more info.) One, however, worries that Immigration and Customs Enforcement might attend the event, too — and if so, a…
The phrase “getting caught red-handed” wasn’t invented specifically for David M. Flores, 48, but it certainly seems appropriate to his situation. Following a Highlands Ranch bank robbery, Flores was busted on an aggravated robbery charge after handing a Walmart clerk red-stained bills with red-stained hands — a color presumably caused…
On Friday, we published ten great Broncos video moments against the Chiefs in part because we feared there might not be any on Sunday — but we needn’t have worried. The Broncos’ 49-29 stomping of the K.C. crew featured more highlights than the rest of the season combined (see a…
One of the annual oddities of the Starz Denver Film Festival is the scheduling of the closing night film (this year, the unintentionally hilarious Black Swan) on the event’s second-to-the-last day. As usual, Sunday, the day after, featured a full slate of cinema, with The People vs. George Lucas proving…
The Starz Denver Film Festival has lately gotten very good at choosing future Academy Award nominees or winners to spotlight on its highest profile evenings — and given the Oscar buzz surrounding Black Swan, Saturday’s closing-night offering at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, that streak is likely to continue. Still,…
