Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Shortly after news broke about the Aurora theater shooting at a screening of The Dark Knight Rises, Playboy model Tricia Evans tweeted, "I heard the new Batman movie is really 'to die for'! Too soon?" The answer to that question was "definitely" for Deadmau5, an electronic-dance music titan who's a big Colorado favorite. The resulting Twitter back-and-forth reveals plenty about the cultural impact this horrible event is having nationwide. Get the whole story in Dave Herrera's "Deadmau5 disses Playboy model Tricia Evans for her tweet joking about Batman shooting" on our Backbeat blog.
