Colette was one of the reasons that Chicago house garnered such a feverish following in the 1990s — and today she remains one of the reasons that the world at large hasn’t forgotten the Windy City’s contributions to that subgenre of electronic music. She was a pioneer of the live…
No one’s saying you have to go meatless just because it’s Monday — but as incentive to join the growing movement, every week we’re offering an animal-free recipe. This is a fast, easy substitute for tuna salad that requires no cooking and harms no fish. We served it up on…

Plenty, and one of the most intriguing options is Lulacruza, a duo that fuses Latin melodies with funky electronic drumbeats, soaring female vocals and elaborate guitar lines.

Hops & Pie is an ideal neighborhood establishment: simply furnished, small enough to have a strong sense of intimacy — but with a big beer list. As a bonus, the kitchen offers not just several vegetarian options, but also vegan dishes. One look at the menu, and moving to the…

There are a lot of marijuana-related goings-on tomorrow, what with it being 4/20 and all, but this event looks like a definite hit. Burlycute, the burlesque production company run by Cora Vette (aka Reyna Von Vett), happens to be booked on the third Friday of every month at Bar Standard,…

And for twelve years now, MESA has hosted the Canine Classic 5K run/walk, a Bolder Boulder qualifier at the Boulder…
If your main objective on 4/20 is to get as blitzed as possible, well, there are plenty of options out there. But if you’re thinking that this year you might want to elevate your consciousness instead of merely getting high, then the Choose High on Life bash at Lumonics should…
Out of all the continents, Asia is by far the most vegetarian- and vegan-friendly. European cuisines tend to fall toward the bottom of the list — at least, as those foods are prepared in this country. So a French restaurant with good vegan dishes is a real find, and while…
No one’s saying you have to go meatless just because it’s Monday — but as incentive to join the growing movement, every week we’re offering an animal-free recipe. With the chilly weather this past weekend we decided to skip salad, and instead grabbed some fresh fingerling potatoes and yellow baby…
Last night, Tuaca brought Corey Miller (think L.A. Ink — and if you’ve seen that show, then you know how talented he is) to Stoney’s Bar and Grill to play with his band, Powerflex 5. We caught up with Miller before the show (while he placed the finishing touches on…
Shawn Sheehy has been creating pop-up cards and books for years, and after he moved into his first-ever house (and spent a summer gardening in his new yard), he was inspired to create Pop-Up Wildflowers, a curriculum focusing on everything from accurate, three-dimensional pop-up renderings of flowers to botanical certification…
Austin Weishel is hot stuff. Not only is he a firefighter in Loveland, but he’s also an artist who’s designed a monument to arson dogs that is destined for a fire station in Washington, D.C., as a national salute to these canine crime-fighters. Unlike the dalmatians that were used to…
It’s tough to be a vegetarian in the South, and damn near impossible to be vegan (at least if you want to it out). So even though Lucile’s Creole Cafe doesn’t have a huge vegetarian selection (and vegans are pretty much out of luck), the vegetarian options that are on…
DJ Beufie, owner of Native Soul Recordings and Speakeasy, is coming in from New Mexico for another episode of Supernova’s House Revival.

Those who attended the initial Vaporize psychedelic music-and-art extravaganza two years ago have been asking Liz E11even, one of the event’s organizers, when the Sculpted Sound crew planned to throw the next one. “It was a mind-blowing experience for them,” she says, “which is what we hear about a lot…
There are tatami rooms at Kobe An where you can have a traditional Japanese meal while seated on the floor around a low table — all hidden away in an above-street-level storefront in that most American of landscapes, the strip mall. The inside of this restaurant belies its bland suburban…
It’ll be ladies’ night at the Funky Buddha on Saturday, April 7 — not in the drink-special sense, but in the lots-of-ladies-playing-funky-tunes-for-your-dancing-pleasure sense. Connie, of Resolute, Halcyon and Cement Recordings fame, is coming in from the Big Apple to rock the house (or tech-house, to be completely accurate). Connie’s streamlined…
No one’s saying you have to go meatless just because it’s Monday — but as incentive to join the growing movement, every week we’re offering an animal-free recipe. Hummus is awesome. It’s one of those versatile spreads that can work on bagels for breakfast, in sandwiches for lunch, or with…
