Though Thrill the World dance events circled the globe last October (and in L.A., as our cousins at the L.A. Weekly reported), there’s no doubt that Michael Jackson’s untimely passing this year will spark even more interest among people who want to emulate MJ’s famous Thriller moves in public while…
Last Wednesday, we told you about the first tent to pop up outside the Sports Authority branch formerly known as the Gart sports castle a full ten days before the beginning of the annual ski sale known as Sniagrab. Shortly thereafter, the occupant of that temporary structure, Reba Stoner, received…
Ken Levine, the host of the Los Angeles Dodgers post-game radio show called Dodger Talk, is a comedy writer whose TV credits include Cheers, Frasier and The Simpsons — good shows all. But Denverites may not be terribly amused by his latest offering, a blog headlined “Things To Do in…
A baseball card collection featuring Colorado ‘s boys of summer (dresses) sporting the fashions of Denver designers. Dexter Fowler is the first Frockie to hit a home run off in a perfect bridal gown by Janet White……
The Denver Post apparently has a policy against having any fun on the subject of Denver Magazine. The September edition of the glossy featured a cover shot of Channel 31 anchors Libby Weaver and Natalie Tysdale in a naughty-lesbos pose that could have doubled as a strap-on ad. But instead…
Back on August 4, the conservative Face the State website (which is currently in limbo as it attempts to restructure), went out of its way to slap Congresswoman Diana DeGette for scheduling only one healthcare town hall — over the phone. At the time, a number of congressional reps on…
For an elected official to try to brush aside term limits might seem a little self-serving. That’s probably why the effort currently underway in Adams County to ask voters to allow county incumbents to seek an additional term, on top of the eight years they’re now allowed, has such a…
Coming in to the 2009 season, the Denver Broncos seemed set at the quarterback position. (Pause for peals of laughter.) Now, things are considerably more unsettled — sort of like passengers on the Titanic. As you may have heard, Jay Cutler is gone; Kyle Orton, the man traded from Chicago…
The Denver Art Museum, designed by Daniel Libeskind, is an architecturally striking building on any day. But lately, it’s been even more eye-catching than usual due to a noteworthy visual element: crews of repairmen walking gingerly on its radically slanted roof in order to avoid shooting off the edge and…
Most Denverites probably don’t know that the American Humane Association’s national headquarters is located in these parts — specifically Inverness Drive East in Englewood. And while the AHA also has a film-and-television office in Los Angeles (as well as a public-policy branch in Alexandria, Virginia), folks here are behind an…
What does a heavy equipment auction say about the U.S. economy? Plenty, according to a report by Colorado Public Radio producer Zachary Barr that’s airing on National Public Radio stations across the country today. At the event, which took place in Longmont, there were more sellers than buyers, with an…
With Democrats worrying about a possible challenge to Senate appointee Michael Bennet by former Colorado Speaker of the House Andrew Romanoff, Republicans ought to like their chances in the race for that seat, slated for 2010. Instead, they can’t settle on a viable candidate. Announced contestants such as Ryan Frazier…
Michael A. Kincade, dubbed the Shaggy Bandit, must not take that whole you-have-the-right-to-remain-silent thing very seriously. Shortly after he and an accomplice, the nickname-challenged Christopher Lee Richardson, were captured last week, Kincade gave a jailhouse interview to 9News. And the criminal complaint written out against him by the U.S. Attorney’s…
The strange case of Maurice Schwenkler has entered a new phase now that the Denver District Attorney’s Office has formally charged the far-left trangender activist also known as Ariel Attack with criminal mischief in the smashing of eleven windows at Colorado’s Democratic Party Headquarters. But the political fallout continues, with…
Time to put on the feed bag. Today in Cafe Society: • Ask the Critic: What is Denver’s food scene missing? • India’s reopens in Tiffany Plaza. • Milking It: Corn Flakes Touch of Honey/Toque de Miel. • Tonight: It’s all about wine and chocolate. • Talkin’ ’bout food, booze…
Our daily blog round-up. You may have a case of the Mondays, but the blogosphere does not. The upside of a Bennet-Romanoff primary. (Colorado Pols) Brandon Marshall: Turns out he’d make an excellent blogger. (5280) Colorado: Your go-to state for ponds full of cancer-causing coal-ash! (Colorado Independent)…
You want to know what’s hot right now on social media? Just ask OneRiot, a Boulder-based tech company aiming to offer a new way to search the web. As opposed to Google, which tries to provide the authoritative result to any search query, OneRiot is more interested in providing the…
Bingo takes on a mystical tone in the Mexican version (known as loteria), for which folkloric symbols replace numbers on the cards. And that turns bingo into a whole new beisbol game, mis amigos — one with a tale behind every square on the card, from La Luna, the moon,…
When the University of Colorado at Boulder insisted on staging this year’s “Rocky Mountain Showdown” with the Colorado State University Rams at Folsom Field — supposedly to guarantee that at least six games would take place at CU’s stadium this year — many observers feared the Buffs’ thirst for revenue…
In a blog last Thursday, I reported that the Fort Collins Coloradoan was advertising for a new photojournalist mere days after having laid off nine people. Moreover, the Gannett-owned paper’s item about the latest downsizing move pointed out that the current staff is roughly half the size it was in…
For the past several weekends, The Truth, at 101.5 FM, has broadcast music, as opposed to offering the sort of right-wing syndicated blather that dominates its airwaves Monday through Friday. But this particular aspect of its format has already gone through as many personalities as the famously three-faced Eve. First…
The study of neighbors through their lawn ornaments…. Figure 32. Stapleton: Daring display of personality dangles on TV dish Stapleton is Denver’s newest neighborhood, and every detail, from family pharmaceutical profiles to pocket-park playground-equipment color, has been painstakingly planned to maximize the financial investments of all involved. This is less…
