As people who think about, talk about, write about, listen to and make music, it shouldn’t be surprising to find that the most common (and mutually 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…
We suspected that the fall concert season was going to carry the momentum from the summer concert series, but we had no idea just how memorable it was going to be. Here we are just roughly past the halfway mark, and already we’ve been treated to shows by Marilyn Manson…
It’s time for the 2012 edition of Westword’s Denver Web Awards, our annual celebration of Denver’s greatest digital minds. Back at the end of September, we put out a call for you, dear readers, to nominate your favorite online projects and voices, and a team of Westword staffers and contributors…
Welcome to another week! Plenty of goodness awaits you. As always, we’ve got all of this week’s shows listed in our concert calendar if you’d prefer to get a full view of what’s going on. Otherwise, we’ve narrowed it all down and picked out the best shows that are the…
No matter what part of the city we seem to visit, it’s pretty clear that Denver has an incredibly vibrant nightlife scene, as evidence by our recent snapshots of East Colfax, South Broadway and Lo-Hi. This past weekend, we sent our intrepid roving photographer Chris Morgan to capture the scene…
Fans of Matt Stone and Trey Parker, local comedian heroes, know that their hilarity knows no bounds. And when it comes to South Park, it also knows no boundaries. Which is why we weren’t entirely surprised to find that the show and its creators were recently spoofed themselves — with…
When Odell Brewing Co. partnered with Cafe Society on a contest in honor of our upcoming 2012 Denver Web Awards, we knew the results would be great. At the ceremony, which will be held at RedLine on Thursday to honor the best and brightest minds in digital Denver, the brewery…
Onetime Pueblo resident Robert Bruce is becoming a TV star of sorts — but don’t expect the results to be especially flattering. That’s because the episode of the ID-TV program Who the [Bleep] Did I Marry? in which he features focuses on his wife’s discovery that the hunk to whom…
The Cirque du Soleil model seems calculatedly designed to turn you around by the time the show ends, no matter how cynical you thought you were when it started: Its startling spectacle — from the beautiful costumes and lighting to the way it celebrates the incredible strength of the human…
Welcome to the weekend! You ready to toss a few cold ones back and get a little loose? Thought so. Us, too. As always, there is ton of good music and a wide variety at that to dazzle and delight you this weekend in our fine city. If you’re a…
Cafe Byblos Mediterranean Grill opened quietly at the end of October, and we dropped in this week for a quick look at the place. According to owner Sam Khechen, his wife, Roya Khajeaian, did all interior design work, and his father-in law, Abbas Khajeaian, is the artist behind all the…
Hideaway Kitchen + Bar may be tucked in an out-of-the-way location in Genesee, behind the Chart House, but locals have had no trouble finding it since it opened on November 1. “It’s going really well, with no promotion at all,” says executive chef Michael Powers. And he expects things to…
From November 7-11, Cirque du Soleil’s roving band of international artists and acrobats is taking over the 1STBANK Center for the multi-dimensional show Quidam. Show and Tell was lucky enough to catch opening night, and we’ll share more about that soon. In the meantime, go backstage with the troupe as…
The election is a time for taking sides — on issues, on candidates, on which of the watching parties has the best drink specials. But this year’s election joined a few sides along the way. (This is where you can go ahead and imagine is winking at you.) Continue reading…

The lovely old building a 777 East 17th Avenue has been home to many restaurants over the past few decades: the French Quarter (which explains the New Orleans look), the Peacock, the Dome, Majorca (where the owners commissioned an exorcism), Toby’s and, finally, J.R.’s, a legendary gay bar in town…
Another week, another batch of great shows on tap. We’ve got all of the shows listed in our concert calendar if you’ve prefer to take a more hands-on approach to planning your itinerary. If you’re looking for a more curated experience, however, as always, we’ve put together a list of…
Welcome to the weekend! We made it. And as we already noted in Dance Card, there’s an extra hour for you to enjoy. Depending upon how hard you go, this will either give you more time to imbibe or an extra hour to sleep off the effects of the night…
The old house at 1515 Madison Street has gone through several incarnations since it was the elegant Normandy, a French restaurant run by Pierre Wolfe. Among other ventures, it housed both PS 1515 and the Pink Elephant — where cops busted burlesque dancers. Recently, there were plans to open a…
Think back on last night — or even better, last weekend. How did you spend your Halloween? Was it wild? Wonderful? Just weird? Chances are you probably invoked a bit of all three holiday spirits during your costumed festivities, and maybe you attracted some attention along the way. These people…
There’s been a lot of buzz about Tom’s Urban 24, the 24-hour restaurant at the edge of Larimer Square that opened just in time to become a hip Halloween haunt. But that was far from the only development on the dining scene in October. More than a dozen new restaurants…
