It was a busy weekend for Westword.com. Hope yours was relaxing though. Here is a round-up of our weekend coverage.
- On Friday we published our "100 best nightlife photos of 2010" slideshow, which showed off the dancing, drinking and sexy partying that went down around Denver over the last eleven and a half months or so.
- Hey! Drop Dead, Gorgeous want you to know they haven't broken up. Which means that Friday night's show at Summit Music Hall wasn't the band's last. Aaron Thackeray brings back these photos from Drop Dead, Gorgeous at Summit.
- On Saturday, we recapped the previous night's scene at Bar Standard, which holds the weekly "Female Trouble" party.
- Also on Saturday we published a review of Mark Farina on Friday night at the Gothic Theatre by Amber Taufen, as well as a slideshow from Farina at the Gothic by Jonathan Shoup.

Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
