Chief, Sorry, had to get that last one off hasty as there were a bunch of Moroccans behind me, tapping their feet for me to hurry up and get off this greasy computer. At any rate, I hope it’s easier to get into Lusaka than it was here. Plane arrived…
6.7.07 Johannesburg South Africa Airport Chief, I think we might need to set up a permanent bureau on that island to keep a lid on that rascal lawyer Werner. Those biz class upgrade chits he sold me were totally bogus and all I could use them for was to get…
Everyone was standing around the front patio at the secret meeting spot on Pearl and Ninth Avenue. A few people knew each other, others introduced themselves amiably. A man rides up and immediately says, “Hi everyone, I’m Gary. I’m going to wear my boxers, is that alright?” Usually an odd…
06.06.07 London Heathrow Airport Chief, A damn good thing you didn’t send along that wire-transfer, because the German attorney turned out to be a total fraud. I would also say that The Professor is a long, long way from the friendly confines of academia. I should have known he was…

Slide Show Chris Adolph of Bad Weather California sat alone in a folding chair on the stage of the Larimer, in front of an all but empty room, bathed in green light. “I’m going to pretend this room is full,” he said and then started playing…
06.02.07 Sant Joan, Mallorca Spain Chief, I´ve got a hot one involving fascist Franquista motorcyclists terrorizing a small village here on the island of Mallorca. Sinister undercurrents abound, but to do this story right, I´m gonna need some money. I´m talking enough money to buy—minimum—a 250cc Yamaha dirt bike, pay…
About damn time. As reported on the Denver Infill blog, plans are in the works to include space for a much-needed supermarket downtown at 19th and Chestnut, just west of Union Station. The developer, Nichols Partnership, the same team behind the Clayton Lane complex in Cherry Creek, and the Spire…

Slide Show The Born in the Flood barbecue June 3 at the Larimer Lounge was everything good about being in Denver right now. The weather was pleasant, if a bit weird. Overcast but warm, with a moderate breeze blowing through, it might not have been a storybook “nice day”, but…
Slide Show There is a reason we eat dessert last. See, if you have the best part of the meal up front, it sort of ruins everything else. How exciting are boiled potatoes when you’re still savoring the taste of that chocolate mousse? This applies to music as well, as…

It was an evening of local inspiration or maybe experimentation, or how about extraterrestrial communication last night at the Hi Dive, where Denver’s Mothership hosted a CD release show celebrating their first full length, the Eleven Dimensional Symphony. A dirty mix of camera difficulties, PBRs and lost keys led me…
Society’s unseen illnesses are often easy for the mainstream to ignore, the “what-can-I-do” syndrome. Gang-bangin’ is one such illness, for which the only cure is community. This community, however, seemingly forgot about gang-bangin’ until Denver Bronco Darrent Williams lost his life to it on New Year’s Eve. Now, with a…
While Jack “Dr. Death” Kevorkian spent the last decade in prison, the right-to-die movement has raged on right out of Denver, where the non-profit, Compassion and Choices (an agency that grew out of the Hemlock Society) has continued to advocate for people like Sandy Bush, a cancer patient who couldn’t…
