Welcome to the weekend, y’all. Breathe easy. You made it. Good Friday to you. And, oh, what a good Friday it is. Another stacked weekend of music awaits you. Just like the Broncos win streak continues, so does the steady stream of solid shows, whether you’re hankering for some old-school…
The year 2012 was a big one for creeps — living, breathing, oozing, killing-Batman creeps. So we asked Village Voice film editor Alan Scherstuhl to choose the year’s twenty baddest from the scores of contenders. Continue reading for his picks — a spoiler-free selection of this year’s spookiest screen villains…

Or…
The update of the restaurant facilities at the Oxford Hotel was supposed to start eighteen months ago — but the sale of McCormick & Schmick’s, which runs those facilities, to Tilman Fertitta of Landry’s Restaurants late last year put the plan on hold. But Landry’s picked up the project this…
Updated: The contest is closed, and we’ll be in touch with those who’ll receive invitations..A delicious Drambuie cocktail at Williams & Graham, our Best New Bar in the Best of Denver 2012, got us in the holiday spirit…and spirits. And in that holiday spirit, we decided to share this delicious…
As people who think about, talk about, write about, listen to and make music, it’s not surprising that the most common (and favorite) topic of conversation among us is the same: “What are you listening to right now?” Stick a quarter in us, and, boy, wouldn’t you know it, off…
We here at Show and Tell receive tips from a lot of strange and surprising places — including, recently, a laundromat near the Ninth and Corona King Soopers. That’s where one eagle-eyed tipster discovered the most oddly specific (and generally glorious) roommate ad we’ve ever seen. We’ll give you a…
Just before the Parade of Lights lit up downtown on Saturday, the Wynkoop Brewing Company hosted the Parade of Darks, an annual winter beer fest featuring brews “in the amber-to-opaque color spectrum.” This time around, Denver’s oldest brewpub gathered together 82 beers from 34 breweries, an expansive list that included…
The Santas came in all shapes and sizes on Saturday, accompanied by elves, angels, reindeer and who-the-hell-knows on Saturday, when the annual Santa Claus Pub Crawl came unwrapped along the streets of LoDo and the Ballpark neighborhood. Britt Chester was on hand for this gift that kept on giving; see…
Suspicions confirmed: It seems like whatever neighborhood you venture out to in Denver on the weekend, the nightlife is on and poppin’. This past weekend, we sent our intrepid roving photographer Chris Morgan out to capture the scene in Upper Highland, and he brought us back a grip of shots…
Friday night saw the combination of two worlds and four big names at Tracks as drag queens Nina Flowers and Ongina channeled the art of Louis Recchia and Zoa Ace through live performances. The results were fierce, to say the least, and we’re still reeling from our favorite scenes. Continue…
Good morning, y’all! And oh what a joyously good morning it is, eh? Is it just us, or is the sun shining a little brighter today? With the Broncos clinching the AFC West division yesterday here at home on an unseasonably agreeable day at Invesco, well, it just feels like…
The fourth annual Red Ball painted the Exdo Event Center red last night, when hundreds gathered for the event’s combination fashion show/fundraiser to benefit AIDS awareness and research. Continue reading for a sneak peak of the ball — and visit our full slide show for more photos. See also: -…
More than a dozen restaurants opened in Denver this past month, including the long-awaited Punch Bowl — Social Food & Drink and The Populist. But there were some surprise closings, too, including Il Mondo Vecchio, the pork palace that’s gone to hog heaven, and Del Norte Brewing, the first brewery…
Update: Congrats to KDBryan! For your story, you’ve won a $20 gift card to Pete’s restaurants. Original post: Pete’s Satire Restaurant & Lounge, 1920 East Colfax Avenue, turns fifty this weekend — an impressive tenure, especially considering it’s been under the same ownership that entire time.

Santa’s Parade of Lights starts this weekend, but with all the crowds downtown, you might not get close enough to the Denver City and County Building to see what a mishmash has been installed on the steps — the better to balance the nativity scene and help the city avoid…
Ah, yes, welcome to the weekend! Long week, everybody, or is it just us? Well the good news is that we made it to end of another. The even better news is that there’s no snow in the forcast, and there’s another batch of good shows worth checking out. While…
Marcel Maldonado seems like the kind of criminal who doesn’t know the meaning of laying low. A wanted man in Washington state, he managed to make it to Colorado, only to tweak the cops here. But after getting away again, where did he hide? In the car police were chasing…
The idea that it’s hard to look good while getting warm is a myth — one dispelled by Boulder’s Neptune Mountaineering last night at its combined winter fashion show and retro costume party.
