From its Nobel Prize winners to the divine madness that is Kinetics, Boulder is full of fantastic firsts. With that in mind, curators at the Boulder History Museum (1206 Euclid Avenue) decided to mark the town’s sesquicentennial with the exhibit Only in Boulder, a historical overview with a tongue-in-cheek title…

The tiny town of Glendale has been doing a bang-up job of celebrating July 4th for years – though its festivities, which always fall a day before or after Independence Day, never compete with all those municipalities that shoot off their own spectaculars on the holiday proper. The date isn’t…

Brian Finn recommends arriving early today in Gold Hill, since the tiny mountain village’s fire department will host a pancake breakfast beginning at 8:30 a.m. The town parade, featuring fire trucks and children’s bikes, follows; it “usually has more viewers than participants,” Finn advises.

Denver’s alternative comic artists — including such longtime scenesters as John Porcellino, who’s been turning out his King-Cat Comics for twenty years, and Stan Yan and Lonnie Allen of the local co-op Squidworks — are largely unsung, regardless of the quality of their work. They know all about each other,…

When Denver’s annual PrideFest, “Worldwide Pride…Connect the Dots,” gets under way this weekend in Civic Center Park, it will continue to provide programming as diverse as its constituency, with the usual mix of tried-and-true activities — among them, the family field day and kids’ parade, Volleypalooza in Congress Park, the…

Every year, the Denver Center Theatre Company’s New Play Summit receives hundreds of submissions from playwrights across the nation. Stephen Lavezza and Gabriella Cavallero, who’ve both done time with the DCTC, know that their Modern Muse Theatre doesn’t have the same resources as that powerhouse of an arts organization. In…

The repercussions of obsessive collector Andrew Novick’s exhibition at the now-defunct Lab in Belmar still reverberate.
