Fashion Denver’s fall fashion show, Revolution, will have some surprises this time around. “There will be over twenty designers, and I would say half of them are brand-new to the fashion-market scene,” says Fashion Denver founder Brandi Shigley. That includes a men’s custom-tailored shirt company, jewelry, clothing and some eclectic…
Like a zombie from the grave, a good burlesque emcee is impossible to keep down, and Cora Vette is a superb burlesque emcee. So it was inevitable that she’d be bringing back last year’s smash hit Zombielesque! for another run. Changing locations from Bender’s Tavern to Bar Standard — and…

Anders Trentemøller has been turning the electronic-music world on its head since 1997, when he made his debut with DJ T.O.M. as Trigbag, the first live house act in Denmark. After a self-imposed hiatus of several years, he re-entered the fray and has since released music to wide critical acclaim…

No one’s saying you have to go meatless just because it’s Monday — but as an incentive to join the growing Meatless Monday movement, we’re featuring an animal-free recipe each week. Using the words “vegan” and “dessert” in the same sentence inevitably makes some people shudder. These cookies should cure…
Small plates are a big deal at tonight’s Plates for the Peak at Vesta Dipping Grill, 1822 Blake Street. The event, a benefit for Urban Peak, a non-profit that helps homeless youth, will feature not just dishes by notable chefs but cocktails and live music. It runs from 6 to…

Harper Lee’s groundbreaking 1960 novel To Kill a Mockingbird still resonates with readers today — and there’s no doubt that the Denver Center Theatre Company’s stage adaptation will hit the same notes with audience members. “I do think it’s one of the great novels and movies of the twentieth century,”…
Every month, Seven Cups brings in a speaker to discuss Chinese culture or tea culture — or both! “For me, it’s a way to give back to the community and educate them about two of my passions,” explains Seven Cups owner Greg Fellman, and this month is no different. In…
Pete Tong (due at Beta this Saturday, October 15) has had a ridiculous year: In commemoration of holding down a slot at BBC Radio 1 for twenty years, he took over the station for twelve hours, plus he re-launched his Pacha residency in Ibiza and started a pool party residency…

Ever since Pot of Pho closed, finding good (meat-free) pho in the west suburbs has been a challenge. We still think Pho 95 makes the best veggie pho in the city, but sometimes, driving to Federal Boulevard seems like more trouble than it’s worth. So we were happy when Pho…
