Editor’s note: This blog marks the debut of Five Cool Things, a new feature by Susan Froyd. Once a week, she’ll muse on five Denver happenings worth celebrating. Don’t let them slip through the cracks.
• Local actor Mare Trevathan on body image in Eve Ensler’s one-woman show The Good Body: September 18-October 11, Aurora Fox Studio Theatre, $20.
• Lauri Lynnxe Murphy‘s fundraising project: Murphy is bucking the arts-funding bureaucracy by seeking to raise funds for Strange Fruit, a proposed large-scale public art project for Denver’s 2010 Biennial of the Americas, through Kickstarter, a fundraising website where it’s easy to make a pledge in the name of art. She hopes to raise $10,000 by the December deadline. Yee ha, Lauri! That’s taking the bull by the horns! Will others follow suit?
• EndOtrend Explosion: Benefit for Bands for Lands, with OdAm fEI mUd, the MOTOMAN Project, the Construct and more, September 19, 8 p.m., at Motoman Project, 3505 Ringsby Ct., Bldg. B, $10.
