Khyentse James, the woman behind the massive 1940s World War II Ball (held in early June) and the 1940s White Christmas Ball (held over Christmas) isn’t through. This year, she’s also throwing the inaugural Voodoo Island 1950s Tiki Exotica Ball to celebrate cocktail, tiki and exotica culture. And this party…
The show must go on — even as the clothes come off. “I have always been a musical theater junkie,” says burlesque star Tatiana TaTa, aka Adrienne Jadwinski. “Instead of listening to the radio, I’m typically found driving around listening to show tunes. And I have always wanted to produce…
Justin Long has had his hands on decks longer than some up-and-comers have been alive, so it’s no surprise that by this point, his taste for tunes and his ability to mix, match and master are nigh unparalleled. Long grew up in Chicago, performing alongside the likes of Daft Punk,…
Why Tip? By Josiah Hesse Last May, I was sitting in a bar in Spain, wondering why I was so relaxed. Beyond the typical high of travel — augmented by the Mediterranean lifestyle of beaches, naps and midday wine — I felt an ambiguous sense of peace in every bar…
The Pho 95 in the Streets at SouthGlenn isn’t quite the same as the original on South Federal Boulevard. For one thing, this outpost on South Vine Street has a full bar; for another, the kitchen here has been experimenting with dishes that expand on the pho and bun that…
Quinoa is one of the best sources of protein for a non-meat-eater. It’s a complete protein, and when you mix in black beans and veggies with a little lime juice and toasted cumin, you’ve got a salad mix that tastes quite a bit like a Chipotle burrito bowl and is…
Work week’s almost done. Feel like blowing off some steam on the dance floor? You’ve come to the right place. We’ve got you covered. There’s a full dance card this weekend with a little something for everyone. Drum-and-bass aficionados have their hands full this weekend at City Hall with Jungle…
The mission of Sleep Tight Colorado is simple: Meredith Gershberg raises funds to purchase sleeping bags for the homeless. She launched the organization in honor of an aunt who did similar work with friends in New York City. “But she never formed a formal non-profit, so I took it to…
DB (also known as DJ DB) is a drum-and-bass DJ, as might be expected from his moniker. Also known as DB Burkeman, he moved to New York City from London in 1989, well before the current explosion of electronic music hit the masses. DB was behind the hardcore breaks club…
Even on off-hours on most weekdays, the patio is half-full and there are several occupied tables inside the tiny restaurant — which indicates that Jerusalem is either near a university or is really tasty. Or, in this case, both…
The film Forks Over Knives has been called “vegan propaganda” by some and lauded as a truth-filled wake-up call by others. I haven’t seen it, but that didn’t stop me from picking up the official Forks Over Knives Cookbook as soon as it was available. This is an adaptation on…
It’s hard to believe that we’re already halfway through August — so do what we’re doing this weekend and don’t think about it. Instead, hit the dance floor. If you’re not heading to Red Rocks for Pretty Lights’ sold-out, two-night run, there’s plenty of options for you back here in…
Artist and master of funky, dirty tech-house Santé is closely tied to his label, Avotre, in more ways than one. For one thing, the name itself is a play on his chosen moniker (“À votre santé” is French for “To your health” — their version of “Cheers!”). For another, he’s…
Sweet Action won an award in the 2011 Best of Denver issue as Best Ice Cream for the Milk-Averse — and for good reason. We can’t think of another spot in Denver that offers ice cream (yes, actual ice cream) for vegans, aside from Cows Gone Coconut. So when we…
Yes, an eggless quiche is possible — and quite delicious — if you’re daring enough to try to make one. This easy recipe features a pressed quinoa crust for extra protein — and make sure you’re using organic tofu so you don’t get any GMO nastiness. See also: – Falafel…
Ah, yes, the work week is coming to a close. Time to party and dance yourself silly — some of us here already have a head start. Don’t judge. We’re simply following the decree passed down by the all knowing metal god Ratt (Dance! Dance! Dance!). Anyhow, where were we?…
This year, yoga advocate Erik Vienneau is taking his flagship event, Yoga Rocks the Park, to a whole new level. But current fans of the weekly yoga practice and concert have nothing to fear: The core idea, rotating instructors and musicians who provide a different vibe every week, remains the…
When east meets west, it usually results in a clash of creative energy, and that’s exactly what’s in store for attendees of Saturday night’s East Meets West bash at NORAD. Headlining is New York City-born and -bred Manik, who was named on DJ Mag’s “Hot to Watch 2011” list and…

Although Colorado is home to some veggie-friendly chains (Chipotle, Garbanzo, etc.), we’re never sure about chains that originate in other states. Which ‘Wich?, which got its start in Dallas, was one of those unknown quantities — but now we’re happy to report that it offers more than one vegetarian version…
If you’re looking for a good online (vegan!) recipe bank, then the Humane Society’s Meatless Monday recipe of the week is an excellent source; we made this week’s falafel with the accompanying tahini sauce and served it in pita bread with fresh greens. Yum!…
“There are two kinds of people in this world: people who love books and people who don’t really care about books,” muses Dana Cain. The difference between the two will come into sharp focus tonight and tomorrow at the 28th annual Rocky Mountain Book & Paper Fair, which will serve…
